:eek:

12.79 @ 107.14

1.86 60 ft.

125 shot with 5 degrees of timing and I was running my old Nitto DRs.

Followed it up with a 13.44 @ 106 - 2.24 60ft - tried launching with the juice this run. :D
Then ran a 12.86 @ 106.89 - 1.89 60ft

I also ran a new N/A time of 14.08 @ 95.89 with a 1.92 60ft.

This is also with Eibach Drag Launch Springs, which only seemed to help on the bottle. Guess they take a little HP to get them to kick in on stock shocks. :rlaugh:

I also picked up some rear wheel spacers after the event. Car looks MUCH better than in the photo.

Another first, I burned up a plug on a juice run. Still ran a 12.98 @ 104 1.92 60ft and finished the day on the plug to win second in the Street Class Bracket Race. My g/f won FIRST in the Diva Bracket in my car. :nice:

I'll leave my old numbers in my sig for a little while. :)
 
:oops: I don't know... I'll try to find out. My mph was down a bit, but the track was prepped really good. We all got burned really bad. Best w/e we've had in months here.... no rain. We lucked out on our Track Rental day. :nice:
 
Thanks guys... it's been so long since my car ran good enough to take to the track, I had a feeling when I hit the 330 ft I was in the 12s if she would hold the rest of the run. There is a BIG difference in drop in your stomach feeling from a 1.96 to a 1.86 :o

Guess this stock 187,000 engine still wants to hang around a little longer. The oil pan and rear main are leaking a descent amount, but hopefully I can get it to last this year.
 
Good job man!
I REALLY need to get that Edge converter now..

Sorry to interupt the thread, but do u have your video before and after Edge converter? Thanx

congrats. what ever happened with your "no fuel pressure" situation?

Still have it. :notnice: My new dizzy helped my idle problems a lot at first.... but to be honest, today it looks like it's back. :bang: It's surging all over the place again. I was hot lapping the car something fierce to get it back in line at the track for the next call up. I even had them calling me by name on occassion. :lol:
 
My car slows down when foot braking it. I would love to make another video... that one is way old, however I have to replace my mini-dv camera. :bang: Stupid POS Sharp.... should be recalled, but instead they decided to not make video cameras anymore. :notnice:

Saving money for a Sony like I should have bought in the first place.

Really...thats weird
Maybe its because loss of traction? Have you tried doing it to only 1800?
