I don't know if you were doing a burnout before each run but it's not a good idea. All you need to do is stay out of the water and just get up there and get the tires to spin a rev or 2 and pull out of the burnout. You don't want smoke. The hotter the tires get the more slippery they get with radials. Drag radials and slicks you want them smoking. This is what has worked best for me. Also like sharad said about raising rpms and slipping the clutch works good. That was the way I pulled a 1.9 60ft on street tires with a stock motor and just a couple bolt ons. 13.6@99mph.. I was pretty happy with that.
Is the 180 too cold for my setup?swap back to a stock thermo. the 195 is just fine for your setup.
With your MPH it should be in the 13's easily. With a 70MM TB and the rear end fixed you should be deep in the 13's.
Here's what 290HP at the wheels looks like, 13.6 @ 106MPH on street tires. Had 4 runs all identical the same night.
Here's what 241HP at the wheel looks like, 13.7 @ 100MPH on street tires. Had 3 runs all identical the same night.
Not too bad for a very lightly modded fox. A traction lock rebuild is cheap and not too hard to do, and gives you a lot of results. Just search the alternative clutch setup, get a F150 S Spring if you can, although not nessasary. It makes a huge difference without killing the bank or street manners. The next step is tires, those low profile tires with their stiff sidewalls are doing you zero favors. Appropriate sticky tires will help as well. Those wheels on there now are heavy, and wheel weight makes a difference. Some drag radials alone would be nice, slicks even better. I'll tell you this, a set of ET Streets on some welds or even some old 10 holes or even turbines would really wake up that car.
Yep. Going to run rich.
My Trac-lok rebuild is scheduled for this winter along with rear disc swap and upper control arms. What is the benefit of the F150 s-spring? I'd love to try some DRs someday, just as long as I don't rip any torque boxes.
