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
Corrected ET's
11.85@115.16.....11.03@123.58
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'
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.
