Hello,

Well I went to the track tonight at English Mountain Dragway in Newport, TN

I was going to run the car the last time before I put her up for the winter so here are the times. It is a 1/8 Mile of course I cant run 1/4 mile b/c my car runs out of gear in 1/4 lol.

1st Run:

Time 1: 2.111
Time 2: 6.150
ET: 9.395
MPH: 78.800

2nd Run:

Reaction: .088
Time 1: 2.076
Time 2: 6.120
ET: 9.346
MPH: 79.179

w/30 Shot

3rd Run:

Reaction: .002
Time 1: 2.127
Time 2: 6.244
ET: 9.588
MPH: 76.355

4th Run:

Reaction: -.031
Time 1: 2.103
Time 2: 6.114
ET: 9.316
MPH: 80.123

w/50 shot only in 2nd gear (testing if it would spin or not)

5th Run:

Reaction: .271
Time 1: 2.060
Time 2: 5.960
ET: 9.131

6th Run AND MY BEST EVER::

Good times Gotta love how even the small shot is helping out so much.

I'll be getting some nitrous runs in soon (likely next Fri or Sunday) and will post a n/a run vs. the 75 shot.

That's some good times to be running at Eng Mtn, I usually run 9.0-9.3 there depending on how much I spin . Have you been to 411 or Knoxville Dragway, if you havent you should take an extra 30 min drive to go to either of those tracks and I bet you will easily have a personal best. I usually go to 411 and run 8.8-9.0 and its a level track not an uphill track like Eng Mtn .

PM me whenever you wanna head up this way to go run again, we could have some close races....at least while youre N/A

I love the Sneeky Pete Setup! The only problem is you cant run regular jets to up your shot, you have a little nylon line that goes to your intake instead of a 4an Braided line. For a 50 shot you use no jet in it because the nylon line is so small. The kit comes with 20hp, 25hp, 30hp jets with a max shot of 50hp. I wanted this kit for that reason because later on I wanted a little shot to go with the procharger when i got a forged bottom end and all. I have the soleniod hid under my kickpanel on the passengerside no one and i mean no one has found any lines yet that would ever reveil i have nitrous lol.

The reason i cant run 1/4 miles good is when i cross the et line my car is tached out in 3rd and with a 4R70W tranny you dont go into 4th at WOT it will go boom lol!

Crazyhorse it would be awesome to go run with ya somewhere! I have always wanted to meet a fellow stangnet'er. It will be spring but that would give us enough time to get things planned. By this spring I hope to have Crower Stage 2 Blower cams in with a PI Intake if I can find some adapter plates for the intake, I dont want to do the RTV thing and I am not changing over to PI heads. My goal and everyone know's is to have the fastest Street NPI car.

All in all I am very very happy with those times, the track is slippery and track prep isnt that great lol, but it turned out to be a awesome day!!

~edit: You can change the line over to a 4an braided line and buy a NOS jet kit and up it to 125hp, but you have to get the fittings & 4an line to run from soleniod to the intake. It comes with great soleniod.

Click to expand...

What are you crossing the traps at (speed and rpms)? I had 4.10s and my car would do 115-120 topping out 3rd, though that still wasnt enough at the track. LOL

He probably doesnt have his shift points recalibrated. On stock tune, max upshift rpms is 5500. Mine would shift into O/D about 100' before the 1/4 line back when it was stock. Now with a tune and the shift points elevated, im like you guys and can tach almost 120 in 3rd before hitting O/D
