Default Hee hee even better track times

I was getting lots of attention last night, it was pretty cool. My runs were finally more consistent, I think I finally got the launch figured out. I took 4 runs, as follows. It was between 60 and 65 degrees on all 4 runs. The meth was working very well....my IAT's stayed below 100 throughout the entire run. I would sit in the staging lanes with the engine idling, e-fans on high, heater on high, and I could get the IAT's down to 88-90 and the ECT down to 138-140 to start. ECT got up to 155-160 by the end of the run, and IAT's were up to 97-99 or so. Much better than the 150 I was seeing before. 4wd launch. Weight reduction included taking off the tailgate, spare tire, all the misc junk in the bed, and two speaker boxes. I stole the tires off mom's Suburban last night, they are 265/70-16's rather than my 285/75-16's.

............RUN1.........RUN2.........RUN3........ ..RUN4
R/T.......0.123........0.111.........0.212.........0 .082
60'........1.987........1.959.........1.987....... ..2.012
330.......5.676........5.601.........5.634........ .5.650
1/8.......8.764.........8.626........8.659.......... 8.682
MPH......79.30........81.06.........81.56......... .80.42
1000.....11.477.......11.288.......11.308........1 1.355
1/4.......13.801.......13.575.......13.587........13 .650
MPH......97.40.........98.93........99.14......... .98.49

I am really happy with the results, that 100 mph mark is soooo close and I want it! I was lined up against a GTO first run (14.877 @ 95.53), Viper second run (12.473 @ 114.36), BMW something third run (14.963 @ 100.58) and a Nissan Skyline on the last run (13.85 @ 107.55). Beat all of them cept the Viper, although the Skyline was catching up quick towards the end. It was a great night, even got the GF to admit that racing and working on my truck was pretty cool. I think she liked the attention Everyone was asking if that was her boyfriend's truck.

I spent about 3 hours last weekend trying to figure out why the formula told me your ports are supposed to be 29" when mine are 23". I will have to re-measure everything again and recalculate I think.
