Improvements!


I went to the track Thursday and changed a few things: I dropped the tire pressure from 25 psi to 18 psi and changed my launch rpms from 2k to 2.5k. It made a world of difference. My 60' times went from the 2.2-2.3 range to 1.9 sec and my E.T. dropped from 8.31 @ 83 mph to 8.15 @ 86 mph. I'm hoping to break into the 7s after some suspension upgrades. Here's the timeslip:

R/T: .390 (BAD)
60': 1.935
330': 5.329
MPH: 66.90
1/8: 8.152
MPH: 86.14

I think he's running an 02 GT with the 100 shot, 07, and just has an avatar of an S197 Shelby GT500.

Good question. I would love to find out sometime. The 1/8 mile track is 20 min away and the 1/4 mile track is an hour away so I've never ran the quarter.

Badass. I was guessing I would be around the 12.3-12.4 range.
