Well finally made it to the dragstrip with my newly acquired 95 Cobra. Mods are in my sig.
I found out that Nitto 315's, even at 18psi, wont be able to hook like I need em too. The combination of the tremec 3550, mcleod street twin clutch, and detroit locker rear end was a new experience for me. The tranny is alot harder to speed shift than the T5 in my 94 GT, and it was very difficult to slip the clutch at all off the line.
My best 60' was like 1.93, and the average was like 2.00. I would either bog it, and if I tried to launch it hard it would spin & hop.
I tried adjusting the maf settings in the tweecer to lean it out a little bit (its running so rich that it burns my eyes if i adjust the tire pressure on the back with it running), but it didnt seem to affect my mph at all. I need to learn it better and double check that the changes i wanted to make actually went through.
Anyways enough excuses, here's my best slip of the day:
RT.. .749 (shutup, i had a best of .516 today)
60'... 2.004
1/8ET... 8.606
1/8MPH... 83.31
1000'ET... 11.121
1000MPH... 97.36
1/4ET... 13.263
1/4MPH... 105.11
Like I said, with a actual good 60' of like 1.7 or so it should run in the 12.7-12.8 range, and if i can figure out the tune a little bit better maybe pick up a couple mph.
Remember guys, this was my first time with this car, and i def can improve on my shifting. Just gotta get used to the beastly clutch & tranny.
edit: its also a blower cam and 8.5:1 compression, so its not the typical NA build.
