First pass in my KB Saleen

Mikie · July 10th, 2009, 09:10 AM

Went last night to the local 1/8th mile strip.
Car pulls like a beast off the line.
Im in the left lane. I lined up against a newer 05+ Gt right lane.

Here is the slip

Lefty · July 10th, 2009, 10:52 AM

Nice job man

BlessedHellride · July 10th, 2009, 10:59 AM

That car is a beast. Nice job!!!

mustanginky · July 10th, 2009, 11:14 AM

good run

mounder27 · July 10th, 2009, 02:41 PM

damn a 1.59 60' that is a hell of launch...

Mikie · July 10th, 2009, 04:42 PM

Thanks guys,

I sidestepped the clutch at only 3,500 too. I wanted to drop the hammer at 5,000 , but was so scared I would be picking up rear end teeth

I also granny shifted 3rd gear as my POS hurst is no better than the factory shifter at hitting 3rd gear. I beleive the car has 7.30s in her the way she sits now. We may go back once fall arrives and cooler air comes through.

AzSonicSnake · July 10th, 2009, 05:11 PM

nice run man! thats gettin it done.

gray8188 · July 10th, 2009, 08:47 PM

+1 ...and what tires you running?

Mikie · July 11th, 2009, 11:41 AM

Thanks guys,

I have tubular k / coilovers up front 70/30 struts. subframes, tubular upper / lower on the rear Maximum Motorsports.

The wheels were 15x3.5 and 15x10 weld draglites with standard bobo tires up front and Mickey Thompson 26x10.0x15s here... Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

Track was hooking exceptionally well on street tires anyhow. I had a buddy run 1.95 short times in his foxbody on street tires. They were not being shy with the vht.

I also have line lock so I heated them up til the good folks in the grandstands started choking...lol

SWEET2KSTANG · July 14th, 2009, 03:51 AM

nice, need to post vids of that car.

Lefty · July 14th, 2009, 08:59 AM

gray8188 · July 14th, 2009, 11:43 AM

Do you have the stock rear end?

Mikie · July 14th, 2009, 12:00 PM

Nope, Upgraded Axles. Carrier is stock though.

I will take a video cam next track outting and host it for you guys.

Yea please do man i wanna see that thing run.. and any plans on upgrading the rear a little further?

Mikie · July 14th, 2009, 01:20 PM

At the moment no, but if / when this unit bites the dust, I may invest in a 9 inch setup.

Thanks man, I will make sure to video next time and hit you up.

Ke^in · July 14th, 2009, 01:31 PM

I love the Saleens.. just not the vert.
