here are the times. i wanted to get into the 13's and i was real close, but i could never touch them. i was launching at about 2-2500 and it was spinning ever so slightly. i never wound 1st or 2nd out. im sure if i had a shift light times would have been better. when i get some drag radials i can see mid to low 13's for sure. these runs were on a bfg comp t/a.
60ft--------1/8th--------1/4--------mph
2.095 9.049 14.016 98.49
2.143 9.055 14.044 98.75
2.114 9.190 14.195 98.51

these were the best of about 8 runs. with the rest i was always below a 14.2. i think i did good for my first time at the track.
 
i agree, nice times, get the 60' to 1.8 and youll see mid 13's, I would know :)

Though i think with those mods you should be trapping more mph.
 
thats what i was thinking, maybe ill shift higher next time. i have a lot of bolt ons but none that realy do ****.
i forgot to add that all the passes were made on a bad trac-loc. so i had to slip the clutch out a lot to keep from spinning the one wheel. i have a rebuild kit and 3.73's waiting.
 
those are good time with street tires. get a good DR you will be able to launch alot higher, bust a good 1.9 or even 1.8 and with the 98 mph traps you should be around 13.6 around there.

just have to experiment. Its hard to work on different ideas if your have traction problems. Once you get the DRs launching will be much easier and will be more consistant. Then you will be able to focus on shifting and other stuff more easily.

good luck
 
i was shifting out of first at 5000 and second. then i was shifting out of third at 5500 because it was still pulling. i realy wasnt looking at the tach from first to second just going by the engine.
