Ran a new PB!!!! 10.53 at 130.45

I couldn't hook worth shit though. I tried 9lbs, 11lbs and 13lbs in the tires, same result every pass, but broke 130 every time. Previous highest mph was a 128.70.

Ran a horrid 60 ft but recovered good and pulled strong:

Right lane:

THats awesome.....

Was the traction issue TRACK PREP?
or lack there of.....?

[joelster]

No clue. Probably on my end. When other guys are yanking the wheels, then I can't make any excuses, lol. I'll figure it out though. I did add some weight to the nose so that never helps.

Damn nice mph, I've found rear shock settings make more difference in 60' than tire psi. Whta opti are you using and how high are you spinnin it?

MSD vented and I'm shifting it just before 7k. Literally as high as it will go. The motor wants to go to 7300 or 7400 I can feel it by the way it pulls, but I'm still running the factory pcm. I have generic Comp Engineering shocks, with no real adjustability. Time for some AFCO's from Madman.

Nice man, loving that trap speed.

Your car is badass!! I know you want to go to a aftermarket computer but do you think it would go faster with the stock ecm and a smaller cam? I think 9's N/A with the stock computer would be crazy. Not sure if anyone has done that.

nice.

Ben Moore is the only one that I know of that has run a 9 N/A on a stock computer but he did it on one of those mineshaft air days in the late fall. It wouldn't run 9's all year. His car was a 10.15-10.20 car most of the time.

RPM is everything. If I could spin it higher, I could ditch these 3.73's and get some 4.30's and a 28" tire. More contact patch and more overall gear. It would get the car up and moving faster and still be able to carry the same topend. My cam isn't too big considering the cubes I have to feed.

Congrats! That car is getting it done!

MSD pro billet opti or stock opti with an MSD cap/rotor? I just put in a stock opti while I send back my Dynaspark (again), just wondering how high I can spin it! Madman Afco's are $$ but they work!

Pro-billet

Congrats, that is great mph.
