trails packed again

had a nice day for it sunny and 65 ....only made one pass again..... still need to fig out what works best 12.16@109
heated the tires better,, ran them at 15psi brought it out at 2200 rpm.1.78 60ft lot better then last sunday of a 1.86.. next time 2800 or 3000 rpm
7.72 1/8th@90 mph
get the 2 year old plugs out and get it dyno tuned
i know its running a little rich at WOT ..should be able to get it in the high to mid 11s

 

wtg. sounds like you'll be in the 11's next time.

 

7.70's at the 660 mark is real good for a street car, but there is still time left in that car.
Good job.

 

by the way...get used to that track being packed...especially early in the year. Everybody is shaking their cars down. I went to a T&T at my local track in late August(one year) and made 9 passes and put it on the trailer before the lanes were closed. Early in the year, lucky to get 3

 

well it may ease up there starting the wed night JEG'S MIDWEEK MADNESS
and a BLITZ FRIDAY NIGHT STREET FIGHTS / NHRA STREET LEGAL

 

yeah once the weekly programs start, it should die down.

 

Hey Dave,

What's this business about a Mercedes ??

 

What kind of rear tires are you running?

 

its a cl65 amg from a drag or low roll i could get him but from about about 55 roll he was right there slow would pull away around 100mph
here the specs on it
MSRP $180,375* EngineAMG-built twin-turbocharged 6.0L SOHC 36-valve V-12Net power 604 hp @ 4,800 - 5,100 rpm

0-60 4.1sec

 

275-50x15 MT drag radials there great hook alot better and dont get the wiggles up top like my old ET streets when i ran them at 15 psi

 

i'm running the same tire but i've found my car likes 19 best. we're allowed to run slicks now in the sportsman class but i won't change. these things are great, especially at the top end. i used to run my et streets at 13.

 

with the et streets mine hooked best @13 too but i did not like the feeling at the end of the track

 

Nice goin there Dave...I think more like lower 11's once it's dialed in. What's the rpm's on your converter? I would try bringing my launch rpm's to within 500 rpm's of what you convert at, feather it for a split second on launch and then jump on it...that should keep you from blowin the tires off and get you out of the hole qwiker.
I don't know how you deal with only being able to make 1 pass...I'd be goin crazy

 

its a 3800-4000 stall set up so i could foot brake it around 2800rpm a lower rear gear would help the ET with the 380s i can drive on the streets,,,,,,,,,it suxs only getting one run and paying 10 bucks to do it could have made another but it would of took over 3 hrs to do it
