    just back from the track

    Just got back from Milan Raceway.

    Reaction-- .9980(I know but the cupcakes just came out of the oven)
    60 ft ---- 1.7709
    330 ft---- 5.1160
    1/8 ET---- 7..8919
    1/8 mph--- 88.04
    1000' ET-- 10.3268
    1000' mph- 100.03
    1/4 ET---- 12.3820
    1/4 mph-- 110.00

    She ran good iced the intercooler tank IAT in 60 F outside temps were 50 F at the line the end of a run 70 F. So water to air works really good. My 60 ft was really good for 295 Nitto NR555's car pulled hard on the top end. Need drag Radials I couldn't leave WOT tires would spin into 2nd gear.

    here is the Vid

    Nice! Next time, no texting while you're at the tree!

    Now, would those 555 stick any better with a better burnout? I hear the NT05s are much better.
    11.931 @ 116.33 (MT ET Streets)
    12.073 @ 118.43 (Nitto 555)

    I love the smell of Nitromethane and rubber in the morning!

    No texting just baking, IDK I just zoned out. I'm going to get a set of the NT05R's and mount them on my widened rims and try and find a set of 2 Marauder wheels and run some NT555's 265's on the street as the 295's don't hold crap on the street.

    Thats a 60' to be proud of for street tires.

    Thanks for the compliments, I need more tire to see what this car can do started at 20 psi but the next run at 18 psi I loaded the converter left at WOT and skated of the line and into 2nd gear.

    For what its worth I replaced the 555's with the NT05's and they hook well, are actually very decent in the rain (believe it or not) and contrary to some people on the board, if you want your best times, I found 29 to 30 psi with no water box and just enough of a burn-out to get the dirt off worked best. I know there were a few chuckles out there when Ian and I said what we were running for pressure (27psi) but with psi's of 22 up to 28 still caused me wheel slippage on widened rims of about 1" both tires. At 29 psi there was no slippage at all on the rims, and they hooked pretty hard. The wierd thing was whenever I did a substantial burn-out at any psi's the NT05's seemed like they became slippier, and didnt hook at all. I was still trying to get everything sorted out on the last track day of the year here, but at 9degrees C the track was cold and my last run of the night was after a Trans AM in front of me lost his transmission and sprayed oil all over the track. I launched pretty decent and at around the 40 ft mark hit something on the track and ended up loosing the back end for a bit. I still haven't got used to the power in Al's old car, and I launch like a mad man, but I still ended up with a 12.03 and have the slip which I will post when I get back in town. So close but never made the 11's and I know this car will be in the 11.6's when I learn how to drive it

    not enough

    430hp and 362tq Ive got some goodies I haven't installed yet but I really don't want to take the stock block over 500hp. Once I have the funds for the new engine I'm drooling over all bets are off.
