Just got home from Sacramento and I am somewhat pleased and disappointed at the same time.I did set a new record for myself but it could have been much better had the starting line been up to par. I made three runs today to test out the new Ported Intake from Form and Function Performance in conjunction with DC Performance. Thanks guys for all the effort.
Here are my three runs in order. The weather was sunny and about 63 degrees. My first run I tried to get aggresive and leave at 3200 RPM but spun like crazy...plus I missed 3rd gear...anyway here are the numbers: 60'=1.997, 1/4 mile et= 12.985 @ 109.452 mph. I waited about 1 hour to cool down and my second run was the record...still a lousy 60' time.... left the line at about 2500 rpm with some spin then a slight bog,60'=1.951, 1/8 mile ET=7.987, 1/8 mile mph=89.364, 1/4 mile ET= 12.354 @ 113.224 MPH:rock:
I waited about 20 minutes before my last run and the shadows were creeping across the starting line so I was worried about the track cooling . I left the line at about 2800 rpm and spun to a 60' of 1.949, 1/8 mile [email protected] mph, 1/4 mile ET= 12.410 @ 113.051 MPH.
The reason I was disappointed is because if I had had even a decent 1.85
60', just 1/10th better, that would have been two tenths on the other end and I would have had close to a 12.15 ET. I will be talking to John at M&H this next week. My current Drag radials are about 3 seasons old and that may be my problem.....Hmmmm... maybe I'll go for smaller rear brakes and some full slicks on 16" wheels...Yeah, thats the ticket....If I can cut a 1.75 or 1.65 60' then I think an 11 second pass is possible.
