Went to the 1/8 mile. :) Videos

therat1989 · March 21st, 2011, 02:56 PM

Well I ended up running my car last Saturday. I ran 4 times with some consistent results. Now that I have a good baseline I hope to come back in a few weeks after I get my TB/Plenum, Alum. DS and UDP put on. I'm shooting for gains on the top end. I only have street tires but I can tell the 3.73's have helped me a little bit at the track. I used to run 9.1-9.3@78-79 and now I am running 8.9-9.0@79-80. Not a huge gain but a gain nonetheless.

1st run
.06 reaction
2.03 60ft
8.92@79.61

2nd run
-.02 reaction
2.09 60ft
8.93@79.94

3rd run
.0040 reaction

2.07 60ft
9.00@80.64

I'm happy with the results. Cannot wait to take her back with a few more mods.

Awsome man, i wanna know how the aluminum drive shaft helps out for ya

therat1989 · March 21st, 2011, 03:01 PM

I'm hoping it helps on the top end. I know if I trap 81mph then I have gained something. I really want the help in 2nd and 3rd gear. My first gear is great.

btw man I think we live close to one another. I ran up at Wilkesboro. Tell me if that rings a bell.

Good runs, but why does its say 8.71 in your sig??

therat1989 · March 21st, 2011, 03:29 PM

That was a freak run at a different track with my stock gears. I have never been able to replicate that time at the track in video. I will now only use this track as a comparison.
