So I finally got my lil 5.3 to the track before I swap it for a 370 when I'm done with that build.
I have the MPH for the 13's I was shooting for but the 60ft just isn't happening. For this combo I think my big problem was the stall not big enough or tires too tall at 30.4". (For this engine/cam combo that is).

Quite a few people had good MPH and high times. The 2nd car I raced (can't remember what it was) ran a 13.698 at 106.69 with a 2.283. I thought for sure with the temps out ~41F people would be running a lot better than they were.

I was determined to get the 60 down but it just wasn't gonna happen. I would chirp the tires off the line and then hook from what I could tell on the 1 run I ran alone.

what was your timing at launch?

 

Didn't think Reaction time matters in E/T numbers but I added it for ya.

 

i meant ignition timing...

 

ohh.. lol. I didn't log my runs. From my last log I did the timing at 2200 was 30 degrees. I was brake stalling so it had to be about that.

 

I took several videos of you running, but they're cell phone videos.

 

Did they turn out any? email em to me. Get my email from Facebook

 

Your timing isn't just determined by RPM... If you wanna improve you've gotta log and make adjustments.

 

congrats Josh!!! get that 60 down and youre good to go

 

I realize that but that is where it has been. I thought about logging but didn't. I may do some later in the week if I get bored.
