just got home from the track

[Orions98GT]

with my slipping clutch and the crappy a$$ npi heads ran a 14.97 @ 77 mph 2.2 60ft. Head work and new clutch next week !

 

[crazynorwegian]

not a bad time for trapping 77mph are you sure it wasn't 87?

 

[eric88gt]

14.97 at 77 something doesn't seem right here.

 

[silvrgt]

I'm sure he meant 97mph. My friends 7,000 pound 80s F-350 with a huge ass lift kit traps 77mph.

Not bad at all man remember to pratice pratice pratice.

 

[Stang|ess]

I'm sure he meant 97mph. My friends 7,000 pound 80s F-350 with a huge ass lift kit traps 77mph.

Im sure he meant 87, 97 is good for high 13's, low 14's.

 

[Orions98GT]

nope, give me a min, ill get the time slip, it says 77 mph.

[Orions98GT]

anyone understand this?

 

[cold96snake]

anyone understand this?

He mashed the breaks 100 ft. from the finish line?

 

[propellerhead]

That is odd. Did you let up too soon?

 

[DropTopPony]

whats strange is you only gained 4mph from the 1/8 to the 1/4? maybe a typo(printing error or something) unless you let up to soon? but it doesn't matter...as soon as you install the p&p pi heads and vt cams you'll be good!!! what cams are you going with? and what intake? pi ? I'm about to make the same swap, just waiting for vt to get some stage 1n/a in stock....

 

[def1eppard]

Hmm thats strange. I figured he just let up....alot....but it is a NPI and that would be a decent time for romping on it down the whole track.

 

[DropTopPony]

my 96 gt auto vert ran like 95mph in @ 14.9..so the time is ok for a npi gt

 

[Chili]

Unless you hit your brakes HARD right before the line I don't see how that is possible. How can you hit 73 mph at the 1/8 but only 77 at the 1/4? So you only accelerated 4 mph in an eighth of a mile?

It had to be a system error by the track.

 

[Steve777]

Computer typo maybe? Because your first run you were at 95 mph for your 15.025. Sounds like you were at 97 mph instead of 77 mph for your 14.927

 

[twogts4us]

With about the same 60' time and a little quicker 1/8th time, but you were going 18 MPH slower by the time you hit the 1/4 mile? Did you drag the brakes thru the trap (the 66' prior to the actual finish line)? Still, the time didn't suffer, so I'm confused regardless. I would have compained to the track officials...something ain't right here.

 

[twogts4us]

Computer typo maybe?

Something is wrong, but computers don't make typos. Sorry, don't mean to get picky here, but as a computer geek by day, I often hear people talk about their computer doing something wrong, which is rarely the case. Most often, it's garbage in, garbage out or an IO error (incompetent operator)...
