Congrats!

I remember that feeling also. My first run in the 7's made me so happy I yelled and screamed for an hour, I think!

i'm thinking bigger maf maybe, i know it's technically not a "stock" motor with the explorer upper/lower, i really wanted stock motored 12's but i got impatient, so i'm gonna work on getting more consistant, my 60's last night were for the most part 1.75 1.76, if i messed up like 1.80, next time out i want my 8.59, i should get a helmet

I'm jealous! Got my 306 broken in nice and then my heater core took a crap on me. So now the 90 is on punishment. Gas and oil will be the only mods for the rest of the year

what kinda burn out do you do? do you drive thru water box? if so DON"T......drive around it and do a good burnout....could get that 60 down a little more. and here is another tip! NEVER DO A DRY HOP after your burnout! waste what you just did (cleaning off your tires/heating them!)

I remember the first time I ran in the 8's. IT was with my 82 GT with 91 GT motor with carb, 4.10's and a C-4 with art car convertor. After that I kept diggin and finally got that puppy down to a 8.88! My carb was to big, my tires to slippery, and I was haveing the time of my life!

I bet this pig I drive now won't run a 9:40 in the 1/8 mile! lol

at my local track there's no way to go around the box (yes i'm not lying), then i do a 1st gear (yea yea i know ) burnout, suspension is stock aside from full length subframes, and lower control arms, i think that 60' isnt that bad, i dont do dry hops either, just a decent smokey burnout then leave the line round 4k

kk time to eat din din <3 :SNSign:

your 60' gives me a chub



thanks joe

i'm just kinda worried about stuff breaking now, not so much the axles, or wearing out the diff (recently rebuilt) but just like the trans, i hear 3rd gear isnt a good one to powershift, but eh i guess we'll see, kinda hard having your daily driver your race car
