Default I think I broke into 12's..

Well more 1000' times, just estimating but I'm pretty sure it's a 12.8-9 pass. The track wasn't hooking that great, but the best run of the night was:

60': 1.85
330': 5.37
1/8 ET: 8.32
1/8 MPH: 83.69
1000' ET: 10.70
1000' MPH: 94.38

I'm looking at it like this..

Ap2002's numbers:

1/8 ET: 8.3
1000' ET: 11.0
1/4 ET: 13.2

My numbers:

1/8 ET: 8.3
1000' ET: 10.7
1/4 ET: 12.8-9?

We both run the same 1/8 time, but I'm 3 tenths quicker at the 1000' mark. So that shows I'm pulling harder on the big end, at least thats how I understand it?

Still gotta get the tune worked out, it's got a lot left in it. A little more weight reduction, stickier track night, UD pulleys, and we might see a 10.4(12.5?) pass..

Yeah thats what I want to see! I think it could've hit a 10.6x but they shut the track down 2 hours early, wasn't expecting that so we only got a few good passes in.

I think you're close but there's only one way to know - "Run it on an actual 1/4 mile track"

Oh why didn't I think of that?! It would help if Arkansas had a 1/4 mile track. I plan on making a trip to Gilliam, LA around the 18th of Nov, then we'll know for sure.

litreddevil, thanks for those timeslips man. From looking at those numbers, I'd say my 10.70 pass was a 12.88-12.92.

Does your track just not have good prep? You might try having someone spray some VHT on your tires after you do a good burnout.

Some nights the track prep is great and others it's not so good, last night the track was empty and cold. I kept getting stuck behind some dumb **** in a civic that kept doing sorry burnouts, so that could've been a problem. Haha, you'll see me smoke him when the video gets done optimizing.

On the 10.70 run they were closing down and cleaning the track off so it didn't hook. I asked the guy if we could make 1 more pass and he said yeah if we hurry it up. So Rhino79 put the short belt on in like 2 seconds and made a quick pass, if we had the extra 2 hours as usual I know it would've hit a 10.6x..
