Rented the track out with a bunch of other guys and was able to do some actual testing and tuning.
Got 10 runs in!
Changed jets, timing and launch technique.
Made two runs after each change.
What fun! graemlins/hurray.gif graemlins/hurray.gif

I did find out that my car is just about squeezing
as fast a time as possible with what I have. Track was excellent.
It was so sticky, your shoes would make sucking sounds if you walked accross it.

Also got a chance to run the tree for awhile.
This is nearly as much fun as racing. :D :D


My new best time.
(Reaction sucked, they set a pro tree
and I wasn't used to it.)

RT 1.09
60 ft. 1.88
ET 12.28
MH 111.94

I just could NOT get a lower 60 ft.
I even tried a couple launches at 4500 rpm.
Never spun a tire off the line.
Car bogs as soon as the dead weight catches up
with the torque available. It is fine the rest
of the way down the track.

Any suggestions for a better 60 ft are welcome.

Milan

Dave Great numbers ! Congrats Dave graemlins/thumbsup.gif
I can only hope that I will be able to post something like that when I finish my 454 project. smile.gif

John

Thanks guys for joining the party. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
This place is pretty :cool:

I did manage to hit 112 mph twice.
Once was 112.93
Almost 113

Nothing like a BBC and 4speed, open headers
screaming down the 1320. :D

Your right Milan, I can almost taste the 11's.
I'm afraid I won't make it though. That last 1/4 of a second seems to be way out of reach.

BTW, there were a bunch of Mustangs there.
None beat me, but there were a couple that were faster than I am. There was a Toyota all wheel drive doing 11.40's. Said all he did was change the cam and the rest was bolt on stuff. He was tuning the puter from the drivers seat with a laptop. :eek: I had to admire the guy, he was racing.

Dave

Did you cave in to the auto crowd? ;)
I see you got a 1.66 there.
Was that on an auto?
