New Track Times

[Bling]

These are the first passes I've made in the car since July of last year. The temp this night was 55deg and elevation is a wonderful 2200ft
Passes were made on 275-50-15 BFG DR's. Combo is in sig..

1st pass
60ft----- 2.059
1/8 ----- 7.781
1/8mph-- 99.5
1/4------ 11.805
mph----- 124.2

The car bogged badly off the line on this pass and I managed to miss 3rd also. Still ran decent I think. (Saw 13#'s in high gear)

2nd pass
60ft-----1.80
1/8----- 8.19
1/8mph--97.7
1/4----- 12.33
mph---- 123.0

Car hooked good on this pass, better than I expected and I missed 2nd this time Noticed boost fell off a couple #'s through the traps (11#'s in high gear).

3rd and final pass
60ft----- 1.94
1/8------ 7.70
1/8mph-- 99.3
1/4------ 12.0
mph----- 122.9

Car hooked ok again, I caught every gear clean but something was wrong. From about 800-900 feet the car layed down. Boost dropped off to 5#'s through the traps. When I got back to the pits I found that the blower belt had tried to leave the premesis. Only 5 out of the 8 ribs remained and belt fragments were everywhere. Obviously thats why boost fell off during the second run and continued to drop after. I also noticed that with a 26in tall tire I'm going through the traps @ 6600-6700rpm. It sounds like it's pulling still, but I doubt I'm really making much power waay up there. I need to switch to a taller tire and maybe pull a little harder through the traps. As it stands I'm pretty happy with the way it ran. I need to work on the bad driver mod and tune some suspension issues. Not as fast as most other similar combo's but not bad for a little home built low budget motor.

Nice,
Maybe this year I will work out all the bugs in mine and get to the 11's
Sitting at 12.2 --119.5

Nice times..

Your MPH is up there, but i would expect low 11's for sure. Just takes practice.

What gears do you have? And what tranny?

 

[Bling]

3.73's and a stock jaw: ) T-5. I would like low 11's on this setup, but I'm content for now. My suspension mods are lacking, so I won't hope for too much, too soon. I've got stock springs, shocks, struts, BBK U/L control arms and no front sway bar.

Cograts on the new times Bling

Congrats on the times. A 28" high tire should do wonders for you.

 

[Bling]

Yeah , I was looking at the 315-60-15 BFG DR. It's 28.xx tall. Should help out alot.

 

[go.rei GT]

Nice times! I see low 11's in your future with that combo for sure.
Oh, and about that bad driver mod -- at least it can be fixed for cheap. Also, I bet you'll have a lot of fun working on that "mod".

Very nice.

I love seeing street cars whose 1/8th mile speeds is essentially what I trap in the full 1/4.

 

[VibrantRedGT]

124+ MPH Traps on the stock suspension and tranny. That's nuts, congrats!
