I went to Atlanta Dragway last night for test and tune to try to improve on my 12.44 I ran last month. My 60 foot time on that run was a 1.95. So traction was the first order of business. Since then I installed some slide-a-link bars so last night was the first time I tried them.
First (and best) run of the night looked like this:
60'...1.756
330...4.963
1/8...7.686
MPH...89.81
1000...10.075
1/4...12.128
MPH...109.18
My little 215/60 14 BFG drag radials stuck pretty well on this run. I spun on my other runs and had some 1.8x 60 footers.
Traction is now halfway decent for the small rubber I have but what I need to figure out now is why is my mph not better. No matter how I launched or what rpm I shifted at my 1/8 was 89.8-89.9mph and my quarter was 109.1-109.5mph.
:Carb is a 650 vac. secondary Demon. Could be slowing me down or not. I did pick up 2mph just by raising floats last month. Have not even messed with jetting.
rofessional Products Air Gap manifold. I doubt it flows as well as my stock AFR185 heads. I am guessing it is a bottleneck. I picked up a used Vic Jr to try out sometime. (Washmo66 recommends it and his car is FAST)
:Stock 5/16" fuel line and stock mechanical fuel pump. This is probably what I should fix first.
