Well I got together with a few friends a week or 2 ago to head to the strip for the first time. Attended the local track @ 982ft elevation, 70 degree weather, absolutely perfect! Was able to put down a few runs to get my best of:
60' 1.966
330' 5.595
1/8th 8.540 @ 83.62MPH
1000' 11.060
1/4 13.169 @ 107.09MPH
This was all on stock 225 street tires, which don't seem too bad for the 60' time. Only thing I noticed is I run 4th gear till the end, which puts me about 5500-5700 RPM and it just feels flat in that range. Not sure if I should try hitting 5th gear or not.
Then last night I checked my timing, and the previous owner had it around 7-8 degrees base, which to me seemed way wrong, so I advanced it to 12 (Checked, and no pinging occurred). Car seems to run better, hopefully improves the ET a bit.
Any other ways to get some extra power down for the next time? I heard indexing the plugs could help, and of coarse run on 1/4 tank of fuel.
