So glad I didn't listen.......

to uninformed people on the message boards. If I had I would be running a 100 shot, granny shifting, and launching at 3500 on drag radials wondering why I was so slow. As it turns out the first time to the track this year with no new mods I ran a new personal best of 7.12@98.61 in the 1/8. Now if you do the math that's ~ 11.10 in the 1/4. Of course we know that doesn't count but it's fun to dream.

thats awsome bro, keep it up.

WhiteVenom · March 20th, 2011, 07:04 PM

So instead of listening to people you went with a 150 shot and CMS stage 2 cams? Nice time. I dont know why people run 1/8 tracks. I hate 1/8 tracks.

^ very true casper.

JoshC! · March 20th, 2011, 07:07 PM

there are websites you can upload your 1/8th's E/T's and mph and it'll figure it out

Thanks! My car set in the driveway under a car cover since October after the NMRA finals untouched. I would start it every few weeks but the wheels hadn't rolled until today. I ever thought of selling it a few weeks ago....well that thought is completely out of my mind now.

Yes, I launched at 5500 on 28" Hoosier QTP's turned it to 6400 through the traps. The nearest 1/4 track to me is 2 1/2 hours away. Besides the 1/8 is where it all happens, I'm in top gear by then and all I do the second 1/8 is keep it off the wall. lol

Nice looks like she pulls the front left nicely. What gears for the 28" tire? 5500 is about right. 28" will bog if you launch at 3500 or lower.

not sure if i remember the post where you asked anything but nice times. this season i hope to be the guy no one wants in the lane next to them.

Those calculators are not really that great of a tool. They can estimate but so many things go into.

I hear you, I was at bowling green but without the car, it's been sitting since columbus more or less.

I did start getting it sorted out today though.

WhiteVenom · March 20th, 2011, 07:18 PM

I put my 8.2@90 and it came out at 12.8 @ 111mph. It was really 12.3 @ 119.

those calculators aren't fool proof, but their nice to have.

they mainly work for a vetran driver in a very well sorted out car though.
