time slips from the drags
well i decided to make a few passes for the first time at the drag strip this evening. I figure the car has been running decent, except a few o2 codes that keep popping up.. and a supercharger bearing the sounds pretty sad.. and power loss (i think?) at times. Which is why i went ahead and made a few runs.
anyways, my times for the night:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
-temp was roughly in the 70's/80's.
-power mods are 185/tune/code3 intake
-19" 1 piece junk wheels on 265/30 nankangs
the 13.8 @ 102 i had a passenger and there is a chance i may have let off early. 13.5 was just me and i got booted from the track since i didn't have a helmet
Overall the times aren't great, but i am happy with the 110 trap speed. i seen a few new 5.0's and they were trapping 107-109. Mustang "terminator" was trapping 106ish. Boss 302 trapped 108 i believe. Of course quite a few were quicker than my 13.5
Runs were done at Bristol Dragway in TN. Slight incline and is quite well known for being a beautiful yet slow track.

Bristol Dragway, TN
@ 6:55 pm 4/19/13
70.2 F
63 % humidity
29.77 in barometric pressure
1475 feet above sea level
to be honest with you i was hoping my times were a little quicker. my first run i didn't launch it at all and just rolled into it.. then i realized i could hook in 1st. 2nd attempt by myself i launched a bit and feathered it through 1st. On street tires, i really don't think i could have launch it any better. We'll see. i plan on tweaking a few things and going back soon. If i improve my MPH, i may get an lsd and slicks. My goal is 12's, but i know if i do i'll want to hit that 12.2 lol
