Little Fun expirement at the track lastnight

[JuicedV6]

Went to the track, didnt plan on making any runs because they were only running 1/8 mile lastnight. Someone brought up the pop up headlights on Birds and how they would act liek air barakes, so I decided to test and see what kind of drop in ET running with the headlights up I would see. I ran first with the headlights down

RT:.514
60'2.056
330'6.031
1/8:9.286
MPH:76.32

Which by the way is my best 1/8 time to date, this was on street tires a short dry hop burn out and 3/4 tank of gas, dangit why couldnt they have been running the 1/4 [img]smile.gif[/img] Second run was with the headlights up, same short dry hop burnout

RT:.508
60'2.053
330'6.094
1/8:9.441
MPH:73.67

So either the pop up lights held the car back considerably or that first run was a freak run :D

would be surprised if ti really made that much difference

I don't thin it held it back that much but im guessing it did make a difference, I usually run around 9.29-9.33 1/8 times consistently :cool:

Juiced, you need to have your times in the timeslip page. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] It seems like the torque converter and drag radials does wonders. ;)

They are, just under RedbirdV6 [img]smile.gif[/img] And yes, the verter woke the car up very well, once I tinkered with it and learned to launch it [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Ah ok. I thought I recognized your times from the fbodyv6 site. So you went with Yank Converters. I'm gonna have to look into that. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Nice times! Make sure you keep them down going for 12's on the juice :D

Its the air brake effect. There have been studies done by the Highway patrol regarding loss mph and fuel mileage due to the light bars.
