Alright alright I'll post it!
Ok so I've been talked into posting my times from yesterday...
60' 1.500
330' 4.373
1/8 6.781
MPH 102.75
1000' 8.838
1/4 10.595
MPH 128.04
Runs were on 93 octane and no nitrous at MIR.
And here is the vid http://www.vimeo.com/10645102 (Thanks Matt!)
My car pulls really strong to the 1/8th and then falls off. Any pointers on how to make my car pull strong on the back half would be appreciated. I started playing with race gas today and am strongly considering finally installing my ice reservoir. Also the low tire pressure that allows my tire wall to flex and wrinkle to save driveline parts on the launch might be hurting me on the top. On a cooler day I think I can get that record.
Btw, I did hot lap after this pass and ended up running a 1.494 60' which should have been good for the record but the car was too hot and I only ended up with a 10.63

Thanks!
There were a couple records broken. Overall 1/8th mile and no nitrous 1/4. I am just trying to break the nitrous record without spraying and on pump gas. I was 0.01s away from achieving that goal.
Haha, he knows my car. I'm sure he was trying to cut a light and run a good time. I was concentrating on getting the revs right where I want them to get a good launch

Congrats, Ahmad!! It was an awesome run. 
It is amazing to see this man in action. I swear his heart rate never goes over 20bpm. 
Seriously one of the most laidback, calm, and cool cats I have met!

If you're falling off on the top end the rear reservoir will definitely help out. I would safely say you would pickup at least 2 mph. Off course these gains are not linear and will vary depending on weather. At zero DA I will pickup about 1-1.5 mph and at 2000 I'll pickup close to 3 mph. Not sure what the gains would be in negative DA because we never really get that over here.
Once again great job Ahmad and the record couldn't go to a more deserving person.
edit: Ahmad, what tire pressure are you running at? You have some serious wrinkle wall going on there....fricken SICK!!!!

Thanks!!!
The front end did feel kinda light. The hot lap pass with 1.49 60' and it definitely felt like the tires came off the ground a bit (like 0.5" lol)
Haha thanks!
You're lucky to have a great guy like Alan out there to help at the track. He definitely does his homework on the cars and can driv the crap out of these cars
Thanks
Haha thanks Mike
Thanks Sun!
Thanks Charlie! I don't really get nervous at the track unless I'm running someone that I don't like lol. I'm more paranoid about breaking axles. Thanks for the compliments, I feel the same way about you. Thanks for helpin me out
I bet Jimmy was happy because he still beat me with the slower car lol
Haha he thinks I have a mustang motor in my car and its a 1901 car. Don't really care what he thinks
I am always willing to help fellow enthusiasts. What are your goals? Here is a list of my performance mods (I may forget a few in here so dont hold me to it as a complete list)
Kleemann suercharger with smaller custom pulley
Kleemann headers (Need true long tubes! The piping on these are way too small for me)
Custom dual 3" exhaust from headers back
Custom intake
SLR injectors
82mm TB
~2600rpm stall torque converter
SHR built trans
PTE cams
CCW wheels with MT ET Street tires (skinnys in the front which are surprisingly heavy for what they are)
Eurocharged custom dyno tune (for 93 octane)
Edit: I forgot the custom heat exchanger with 1" lines and Johnson CM90 pump, carbon fiber hood, and race seats
I wish you were there bro. Thanks! My car is so low I'm afraid of bottoming out and cutting a line. Just last night a hit a bump and tore a vband off my exhaust. Might try to run the lines through the car 
You know I don't like to go slower so I will be tinkering with things before the next one 
Thanks! Let me know when you guys do an ATCO rental. Depending on the day and weather I might head up and hang out with you NY/NJ guys
Thanks!
Yea I am definitely falling off on top end. I put some race gas in it last night and it feels like its pulling alot harder up top but my butt dyno could be way off.
Thanks for the input on the ice reservoir! That mph is a nice pickup. Definitely give me that little bit I want. I don't think we will get negaive DA here until the fall and I cant wait too long because there are some monster builds coming out to play soon *cough* Jody *cough*
Thanks Alan, I know you will have some better numbers soon.
Thats a good question. I dont remember exactly but I will check for you. My brain wants to say 12 or 13psi. The wrinkle lets me launch harder than on drag radials but I think it is costing me up top. I have yet to break an axle with this tire setup *knock on wood* It's a trade off I'm willing to take, ET for mph and I'm sure you are too.
Thanks!
Damn, too many smilies in this post, had to go back and delete some because there is a 20 smiley limit lol
