As some of you guys know, ever since I finished my "big head/small engine" build, my car was plagued with some clutch cable issues, along with a few other small issues that I had to resolve. I had kind of been procrastinating working on it and all summer and just enjoying driving it, but last weekend I finally spent some time wrenching on it, and last night I had it on the track. Results below. Keep in mind, this is a full weight car, granny shifting on 17" street tires.
Run 1:
(3rd gear took me a couple tries... Someday I'll figure out this "driving" thing!)
60'--2.165
1/8--8.926
1/4--13.613 @ 106.45
Run 2:
(Totally walked a C5 'Vette on this run. Damn, that was satisfying.)
60'--2.206
1/8--8.751
1/4--13.336 @ 108.22
Run 3:
60'--2.209
1/8--8.750
1/4--13.307 @ 108.77
Run 4:
(Best run, and last run before they closed the track.)
60'--2.105
1/8--8.581
1/4--13.107 @ 109.33
So, I'm really confident the thing has 12s in it, as it sits, with just a little better driving. I think there is a LOT to be had in just tweaking the car itself, without touching the motor. Tune, raise the limiter so I can shift at 63-6500, 15" stickies and skinnies, and a few other things and I think this car will be much, much faster.
What say you?
