Previous Best ET 13.324 @ 103.91mph
Previous Best 60' 1.943

New Best ET 13.123 @ 104.46mph
New Best 60' 1.897

• Running @ full weight minus spare tire and jack. 1/2 Tank of 93 Octane.
• Weather was "ok" for South Florida. ~85F, Humidity wasn't too bad.

So I get to Moroso Motorsports Park after the 45 minute drive from Boca Raton (~55 miles), hand the tech my card (extended tech FTMFW) and get in line for dial-ins. I start off with 3.5K dump for the first run and then work my way up to 4K. Moderate burnouts, Tire Pressure at 17.

Run #1:
60': 2.008
330: 5.620
1/8: 8.582
MPH: 83.61
1000: 11.125
1/4: 13.265
MPH: 105.70


Run #2:
60': 1.963
330: 5.583
1/8: 8.573
MPH: 82.92
1000: N/A
1/4: 13.292
MPH: 104.83

Run #3:
60': 2.035
330: 5.613
1/8: 8.572
MPH: 83.63
1000: 11.116
1/4: 13.258
MPH: 105.59

Run #4:
60': 1.962
330: 5.558
1/8: 8.534
MPH: 83.17
1000: 11.092
1/4: 13.245
MPH: 105.06

So, I decided from here that I'd be much more agressive with my launches. I took Pete's advice and lowered my Tire pressure to 14.5, did a longer burnout than usual and a 5K dump. Results...

Run #5:
60': 1.897
330: 5.433
1/8: 8.398
MPH: 83.23
1000: 10.959
1/4: 13.123
MPH: 104.46

Run #6: This run I decided to try a 6K dump. Didn't work as well but still decent results.
60': 1.929
330: 5.485
1/8: 8.453
MPH: 83.30
1000: 11.010
1/4: 13.167
MPH: 104.76

Run #7:
60': 1.913
330: 5.463
1/8: 8.444
MPH: 82.81
1000: 11.021
1/4: 13.193
MPH: 104.11

Can you taste the 12s?

Very nice times. Makes me want those 4.10s real bad.

4.10's own man. I need to get my tune re-done and shed some weight. I'm very confident I'll see 12's before the temp starts to drop.

It's nuts that we're still in the mid 80's here....

Good job. Are you running stock tires?

275/40/17 Mickey Thompson DR's

If I went to a decent track (Moroso is terrible) I'd definitely see better 60' times with those tires.

You were running full PSI on your tires, too, Kool. If you drop your tire pressure down to 18-20psi and up your fronts to about 45, you'll improve your traction greatly on the stock rubber. Of course, it's no substitue for drag radials/slicks, but it'll help you out a lot.
