Let me start off by saying that I find it kinda funny that I put down these times on the exact 2 year mark of me joining Stangnet. Wow has my car come a long ways since then.
Had lots of kills today. Beat a turbo 240sx, turbo Supra, turbo Scion, turbo Neon, turbo RX-7, (turbo this, turbo that; that's all I heard all day [and saw in the rear view mirror]), supercharged GTP, G6 GT, Cobalt SS, Eclipse GT, a worked up 350Z, and a bolt on S197 (by 1/100 of a second). Only race I lost all day was to a NICE 01 Bullitt; full bolt on, Hitech IIs, 4:10s, Mickey Thompsons, and the driver mod. He was running 12.8s all day. Beautiful car.
Anywho, I'll get on to it. Best everything is in this slip (minus the RT).
R/T: .085
60': 1.92
330': 5.54
1/8 ET: 8.47
1/8 Trap: 84.7
1000': 10.98
1/4 ET: 13.12
1/4 Trap: 104.9
I'm so close to a 12 I can taste it. The conditions today were definitely stacked against me. The DA was close to 2000 ft, I had a solid 15 mph headwind (sometimes more), the track was so-so prepped at best, and I was running the DRs at 35 psi (because I didn't have a way to pump them back up before the 80 mile trip back to Raleigh). So with those problems fixed, I think a 12 second pass will come fairly easily.
As for the 60', that was about as good as I could get with the conditions given. I built it up till right before they began to break lose, and when I launched, they normally either dead hooked, or spun for a couple of feet (literally) and then hooked. The only way to get a better 60' is to build it up a little more, but I couldn't do that today because I had the pressure up so much and the prep wasn't very good. The stock stall and gears are really holding me back now. A 3000ish stall and some 3.73s would really set this car off now. Ughhh....must....resist....lol.
I do have one little discrepancy/question that I'd like for some of you knowledgeable folks to answer. For my pre-blower vs now traps, my 1/8 difference is 6.46 mph, but my 1/4 difference is only 6.09 mph. Does that mean that I lost trap speed with the blower in the second 1/8? That surely doesn't seem right. What am I missing?
