Really solid times on nitrous. Although it is really falling on its face like you said. Your 1/8th mile traps are about what mine are, but your 1/4 mile traps are like 6mph slower.

 

yeah i know it sucks. i compared my times to my best with my '95 and the 1/8 mile trap in the '95 is only 1mph faster than my 2000, but it's trapping about 5mph slower thru the quarter. I guess the 4r70 and overrevving it some is hurting it quite a bit lol.

 

Could the slower 1/4 mile mph simply be due to the 20 mph headwind and nothing else? Like all of you are saying the 1/8 mph to 1/4 mph don't correlate. Maybe after the 1/8 the headwind really has an effect since the vehicle is getting up to higher speeds. I don't know...it's a thought.

Also since you were trapping 102 n/a before, and now 100 n/a (with more mods and less weight) you would think that your nitrous mph should be significantly higher under the proper conditions.

 

I still blame the wind. That's an extra 20-25 mph of resistance pushing against the front of a car that doesn't exactly have the best aerodynamics to begin with. That resistance quickly snowballs the faster you go. I'd give it another go on a calm day before I changed anything.

 

I have longtubes to install soon but otherthan that I don't have any big plans the rest of the season. I'm not worried about the na times to be honest now I'm aiming for 11's on spray. I have 150 jets but I'm waiting to put them in until my motors built so if the stocker goes I can have it swapped out quick.

 

Stock heads on the built engine?

 

depends how long the stock engine lasts lol. if it lasts until next season then I'll hopefully have ported heads with some stage 2 blower cams. I just sold my 347 tonight so i'll be calling mmr tomorrow and ordering my piston/rods

 

just bought some 28x10 hoosier slicks from my buddies for a very great price. so next time at the track i will be launching on the spray, hopefully since i have an auto my stock rear will hold. lol.

 

It'll hold. That car should be a beast from a dig, and dropping your 60' like that is going to send you into the 11s easily.
