  • Went to the track, got a good surprise

    I knew it was there, just had to hook up. I knew a 14.7 run was there but my 60' times where killing me :( but I guess the track and everything was perfect today. Only got in 4 runs because of rain but here is my new best's, got a new best 60' 1/8, and 1/4 mile times on the same run :D

    60' : 2.071
    1/8: 9.518@71.24
    1/4: 14.742@92.03

    How about an update of my timeslipe there Maggie ;)

        yea i'm curious on mods. i have been running 9.6's in the 1/8. i know if i had a set of drag radials i could hit a 9.2.. i have a 3000 stall converter, corvette servo, transgo stage 3 shift kit, prothane tranny mount and torque arm bushing. you are probably asking yourself "why is he telling me all this" . cause i'm on street tires and cutting 2.1 60ft times. if i have DR'S i know i could hit a 1.8 with some pratice..

        anyway good times!!!!!.

            Obviously gearing had alot to do w/ this ( cause i am still blessed w/ this 3.08 open rear DOH) but i dont understand why i cant get better than a 2.3 60' or better than a 15.2 but i am at 90.73mph almost 91 what am i missing any ideas ????
            AIS 2 OHH the memories... Great times and putting names with faces.<p>From \"interesting\" hooters waitress(Did you guys FLY ? ) to pissing BMW owners off on the ride home. To ending up in Philidelphia and USING (hahaha) an ice machine. I had a BLAST.<p>Thanxs to all that showed up!!

              I dont get it...........My N/A 60' is 1.98 and my 1/8 mile is 9.448 and I only run a 14.92 at 90mph. What makes him gain so much top end???

                Yeah, I ripped my 3.42's and an axle out at the track about a month or so ago(damn slicks), just got my new gears back in it(3.42's)and the Limited slip doesn't hurt either
                ;) I think I could still see improvement in my 60' but I am not complaining :D

                      i have the same problem...top end is excellent but off the line my car performs horribly.

                      Once past 40mph my car seems to have more "pep"...i blame it on the 3.08's

                            Yea I have the opposite problem. Mine hauls *** in the low end and dies on top. Any idea why I have about the same 1/8th as you but ran only a 15.2@88. Is it because you may have free ram air...thus allowing it to breathe more at the top end?

                            BTW, To be exact...the 1/8 for me was 9.6@71

                              Well you are nearly a .10 off my 1/8 time, and I do have a free ram air type set up, don't know that could make a difference on top end. It just takes alot of practice and going to the track and you will see an improvement in your times :D
