first car show(competing at least)today!!!

Me and a few are going to import madness at new england dragway today.Im going to also run the beast against some rice lol.

well not really,Im racing my boys big turbo supra for our rematch since I beat him a few times on the street up to 130 and he has now upped the boost!!!.

Im doing everytrick today and will prolly get kicked out the first pass.I just hope theres a lot of cars and dont notice us.

Taking my air filters out now

My car right now is the fastest its ever been since the last 3 years and has come a long way,I hope I can hook up since last week I spun all the way threw second gear.

too hot,I was sitting in the lanes for like 10 min and my idle temps were 122-125.I ran 11.9 @117.7 with a 94 mph 1/8th mile trap.

Temp was like 86 on the dash.I thought my pump was dead but after driving for 15 min on the way home I got the temps 15-20 above ambient

Its wired like a stock car at the moment.

I did 3 passes.

First pass traped 114 heat soaked from sitting

Second pass trapped 115 and thats when i looked at my temps

3rd pass i left the track and drove the car to see what was up and went back with iats at 110 right at the tree and trapped. 117.7

All runs were in the 11s but my top end suffered from heat.

I am 100% going back to a smaller pullie

So are you having heatsoak issues that often? What other complaints/complications are you having with the larger pulley that make you want to get rid of it?

He's trying to pass on his traction issues to me by swapping out his 178 with my 168 Renntech hahah. And somehow I'm kinda taking the bait.

Welcome to large pulley club dude!! As I started reading your first post I knew you were going to be disappointed with your results at the track..to hawwwt yesterday!!

Keep the pulley you have though!! It should get better when it cools down bro! I was at Etown yesterday and the outcome was no different than yours. My best run was a 11.50 and the traps were 118,119,122..

Ice melted in a matter of minutes so we had no ice downs throughout the day and with My meth system not working this was the best she could do yesterday.
Track prep sucked ***** yesterday. For a private rental they should've done a better job, but hey still went faster than a few super cars in attendance.

Coming from consistent 1.59s 1.61 60s, My Best 60 yesterday was a 1.76..but still had a blast.

Some GT-R pulled a 10.30

The da for my runs was over 2200 and my best 60ft w
as like 1.86.the heat kills the top end big time.

On my first pass i trapped 95mph in the 1/8th and only 114 at the 1/4.i cant wait for colder temps to see what i run
