    See previous thread- N/A & 3:23's:
    http://www.camarov6.com/cgi-bin/ulti...;f=10;t=001897

    Fast forward to today.

    Changes:
    4:10's
    SLP cold air instead of Lingenfelter

    temp.......44
    rel humid..52
    ab barom...30.67


    r/t...-.058
    60......1.870
    330.....5.651
    1/8.....8.871
    mph.....76.06
    1000....11.669
    et......14.039
    mph.....94.91

    Modest burn out. rear drag shocks to 9. front to 1. skinny tire 50 psi. drag radials 23 psi. Stalled to 2600, could not go higher, car lurched through the line, had to put in reverse and restage, then, spun a bit.

    temp.......47
    rel humid..51
    ab barom...30.63

    r/t...-.060
    60......1.892
    330.....5.680
    1/8.....8.909
    mph.....75.73
    1000....11.726
    et......14.115
    mph.....94.03

    longer burn out. rear drag shocks to 6. front to 1. skinny tire 50 psi. drag radials 20 psi. Stalled to 2600, could not go higher, started lurching through line, launched at 2400?

    temp.......50
    rel humid..49
    ab barom...30.51

    r/t.....048
    60......2.006
    330.....5.817
    1/8.....9.071
    mph.....75.19
    1000....11.901
    et......14.295
    mph.....94.05


    longer burn out. rear drag shocks to 6. front to 1. skinny tire 50 psi. drag radials 19 psi. Stalled to 2500, could not go higher, lurched through line bad, launched at -1900?

    temp.......52
    rel humid..49
    ab barom...30.35

    Bracket racing
    .........him.........me
    dial in..13.75.......14.16
    r/t......0.081.......0.042 <-treed him!
    60.......2.001.......1.858 <- new best n/a
    330......5.684.......5.621 <- new best n/a
    1/8......8.780.......8.833
    mph......80.22.......76.15
    1000.....11.487......11.625 <- let off
    1/4......13.770......14.009 <- DOH!
    mph......96.97.......91.88

    I shoulda kept in it on the above run! Comparing it to my 13.931 pass of last year.... this would have probably been a 13.8 run. With bracket racing you want to come as close as possible to your dial in w/o going faster than it

    I did a good burn out, front shocks to 1, rear to 6, skinnies 50 psi, drags 19 psi, stalled to 2400 and smashed the throttle


    Now.... you may say....... 4:10's gained NOTHING?

    I said this also..... but.... I've been experiencing this lack of stall situation... car pushing at the line...mushy brake pedal.. I SHOULD launch at 3,000 rpm's but could not see it.

    Brake pads new
    Rotors fine
    Fluid changed
    Tires good

    Seeking assistance from my hard core drag racing buddies led me/ them to one conclusion.

    Bird has 95,000 miles on it
    1200 passes on it
    Repeated 2500-3000 stalled launches

    Front rubber brake lines are swelling upon prolonged high stalls! So..... time for steel braided brake lines. I've got my summit mag next to me now....and...Russel and Earl's makes kits.

    Once those are done.... back to the track... I should have them here/ installed by the end of the week and attempt again.

    Craig..... you had a good shot today to beat me [img]smile.gif[/img]

    I'm only gonna get quicker [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Oh yeah....

    Unfortunately, I work on Saturdays. However, I will be at Atco every Tuesday night from now till November. Last tues was a disappointment due to some tuning issues. This tuesday will be the 13 second day for me, mark my words. At least a 13.930 @ 98 will be achieved.
