heya guys got to the track last night with my new engine, the car ran strong and felt nice but only managed 95 mph traps.
my best speed on my stock engine was 99mph.
i drive it like a madmad, didnt miss any shifts and even powershifted a couple tiems and couldnt seem to get any higher than a 95.36 mph...
best time last night was 14.2397 @95 with a 1.9869 60', for what i have done that doesnt seem right at all.
i ran a 13.9 with a stock engine and my car is faster now than it was but was slower.
best 60ft was 1.9 and that was launching at the rev limiter just about and it hooked pretty nice.
my drag radials (275/50 quicktime hoosiers). were Bald and i am suprised they didnt explode, i doubt that would contribute to low traps.. the tires hooked good, but felt strange, like there was a bog at first. My old DRs would just flat let me LEAVE the line it felt like....
only thing other than that is a smal tick i have which i suspect is a lifter, car runs smooth with the tick. would a bad lifter cause that much power loss??
sort of dissapointed in the new engine performance. but i had fun, its been hot lately, and it was nice and a small crowd at the track so the wait wasnt long at all.
what are the chanced the timers were off. one race i raced a firebird. i whooped it, off the line, at the 8th and the 1/4, but the slip showed he ran faster than me. i was still the winner, it was strange.
he had a .6590 RT and i had a .2972 RT would that explain the strange slip??
my very first run my seems to run super super strong but no slip, i was the very first car and ran myself........ my gf said she heard the tower guy say 12.57. but it didnt show up at the boards and no slip to prove it, i doubt my car ran that fast. i was confused lol after that the car seemed to not run as fast.
i need to figure it out so i can go back and hit my high 12s
