Decided to head to the track today to try out the new combo. Right before leaving, I was hooking up the line lock but couldn't get it to work. Normally I just use the heel toe method, but that's not really possible with the manual brakes. Decided to go anyway.

First pass I decided to baby it just to feel it out. Put 12lbs. in the slicks, launched at about 4,500 and granny shifted. I was a bit surprised by the timeslip

Here it is compared to my old best with the old combo:

60'.......1.592.....1.512
330'......4.822.....4.665
1/8 mile..7.491.....7.258
1/8 mile..91.63.....94.370
1000'.....9.793.....9.504
1/4 mile..11.729....11.389
1/4 mile..116.39....119.820
Weight....3000......2900

I then decided to try and make a full run, launch high, power shift, etc. Turns out I'm sucking the bucket in the fuel tank dry. On the 1-2 shift, it hiccuped pretty bad, then the car shut off around the 1,000 ft. mark.

On that run I cut a 1.48 60' and still ran a [email protected]

Put more fuel in, but had the same problem, so decided to call it a day. Gene has offered me his return style setup, so I may buy a fuel cell and do that.

I'd like to thank Brandon, my crew chief
Danielle for video taping
Gene for using his tow rig
Fox Lake for the killer engine
SCT & Jerry for some killer tuning software
my Dad for all the help getting the car to this point
and anyone else that has lent a hand, there has been many people involved in this project.

I'll try and get the video of the 11.38 up by the weekend.

Great job! Thats some great inspiration for the rest of us N/A 2Vers. Now if only my wallet had some inspiration....

 

[GoBabyVroommm]

Nice times!!! Man your the guy to look up to if you have a 2v.

 

[NasaGT]

Got a timeslip?

Congrats on the run Ken!!! You've got 10's in your future.

 

[CatmanJJ]

That's awesome, sounds like you would give a CAI, exhaust, pully and chipped Cobra a run for their money and then some.

What line lock where you trying to install on your car?

 

[Dark Knight GT]

Well, those are nice times.......but please let us know if WHEN, not if, but WHEN you hit 10's.

 

[Ryan02Stang]

Great to hear!! I can't wait for the first 10!

 

[CTGrey02]

Hella good start towards the tens. Git em!

 

[STL00GT]

Great job with the car Ken. You will be in the 10s in no time at all and then trying for a lower number.

Made it back to the track tonight

Previous best was an [email protected] with a 1.51 60'


Changes since last time:
Modified fuel bucket so it wouldn't suck dry. Need to run more fuel in the tank, so I added about 40lbs.

Changed 4.30 gears to 4.56's

On the first run tonight the car kicked sideways really bad during the burnout. Really had no burnout at all. I left this slip at the shop so I don't have the whole breakdown:

1.54 60'
[email protected]

Damn! That 120 was soooo close. With no burnout and shortshifting 1st, I was pretty happy with that.

Second run the car kicked sideways worse during the burnout. One the 1-2 shift the car shut off. Still not sure what exactly happened.

After getting back to the pits I decided to see what the problem was with it kicking sideways. It was almost exactly what Gene's car was doing when the anti roll was bent. Got under the car and that was fine but both upper control arms were loose. Not the connecting points, but the jam nuts. So one was longer causing the rear to not be square. Did my best to rough it back in.

Last run the burnout was fine. Only cut a 1.50 60' and ran a [email protected] I think I raised my shift points too high on that one. I was shifting at around 7,300 RPM.

The best news from the night was the first run of [email protected] corrects to an [email protected] at sea level. Planning to hit the track again Saturday afternoon.

Thats a really high rpm setup you have going for your car. I was wondering when you were going to change to steeper gears. Anyhow, do you think you could squeeze by with 4.88's . I'm sure if you could, that would help to get you going even faster. Considering the fact that you're car gained 40lbs. and you still beat your best time by .050 and you had to adjust to the new gears, I'de say all and all you did pretty good. When you getting the new intake put on ? Let us know when you go 10's. I've got to see this.

 

[Avenger]

Congrats on the new best Ken !

I bet you'll hit 10s without the new intake... but... when is it going on ?
