Josh, I was hoping you would say that. I will be sending you some numbers to analyze......thanks.

considering that our cars are too heavy to allow the front end to lift (which also absorbs driveline load), i just don't see us getting enough sidewall wrinkle out of 50 series (or less) tires to give us that safety net...

Alan's car while super fast back 1/8th is slow on the front this is effecting the final numbers. His ET and trap front 1/8th is not shocking, then suddenly BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM . He needs a bit of that back half hp on the front.

Were you ever able to replicate that or a similar 60'?

juicee63

nope, but I have not been back since.

The day I ran it 1.471 to 1.60 to a 1.66 . Then 1.9x the last 2 runs.

I am fairly certain I can do it again, and next time I will be firmly in the 11's.

Its cooling off here, should be back up North real soon.

Gotcha. Good luck at the track!

whats with the "Retired" stuff in yer sig??

Alan how do you compare those runs with yer previous ones prior to thy latest tune?

I'm done modding for a while and havent raced in even longer. Trying to get this car tuned has been a nightmare Might give it one last shot next weekend and hit the track while I'm at it with my new wheel/tire package

Man, so close! You need to do what Derek FSU did and remove your air filters for one run.

Eitherway, congrats on the runs. It's a treat to read your threads.

Thanks Josh.

Haha...I wouldn't call my car slow in the first half but just not as quick as the guys with the torque converters.

I was running in higher DA this time around with much more consistency. My slowest time of the day was a 11.19 @ 129.xx which was done after my first initial run. I drove 2 hours to the track, unloaded all my stuff, added race fuel, no ice in the reservoir, and ran a 11.157 within a 1/2 of arriving. I usually do back to back runs trying to get the transmission and race fuel to adapt in the beginning. It usually takes about 3 to 4 runs for everything to come together.

In short I think my car is running faster with more left in her. Once I get her back on the dyno for some more tweaking it will be quicker and faster...I promise.

I think I'm done with this thing and it might be time to move on to another project. I might start playing around with the diesels again after seeing that Duramax running 12.1s. Something about getting a 8000 pound truck into the 11's just gets me off.

Thanks str8ridin! I can't wait to see how you guys do at the Pacific Northwest track day. Good luck with everything and be safe.
