Default Some track times.

I have a problem with the launch. It leaves better with 18 lbs of air, with the QT Hoosiers. I think it is time for some suspension work. My best motor pass was 8.111@85.48 with a 1.892. On the spray it ran a 7.513@92.57 with a 1.757 60ft. I hit the juice (150) at the top of first, I hit it at the launch all it does is spin. As the temp fell everyone was picking up time. So I ran it right before I left and ran a 7.524@94.65 with a 1.879 60ft.
I just need to work on the 60ft times. I know it has a high 1.60 in it. The temp was mid 90s win we got there and mid 80s when we left, some humidity also. With some cooler temp and good 60fts it should run a number. The motor passes are good I think, for a daily driver cam.
Anyway there you have it.

P.S. Removing the ABS fuse makes it 100 times easier to do a burnout.

nice times, maybe a 2 stage nitrous or a progresive set up would be good for you? seems to me you have a shot at the top spot if you could spray sooner, get a better 60' and find some cooler weather

I will leave the top spot to you Parish. I just want a honorable mention.

You are running a 150 shot on your 408 ?
Do you have any dyno charts for this setup ?
It must be putting out some HP with those 1/8 mile times.

Just curious...read over old posts but could not find what lift cam you chose. I found the duration and LSA but not the lift. Also, what RPM were you shifting at? My 408 is almost finished and our trucks and combos are very similar. This gives me an idea of what to expect.

No dyno numbers, yet. The 150 is on the 408. I recently bought a NX 80000EFI Direct Port and waiting to install it, I have to purchase a couple of more items. I think the numbers would be better with a different cam, one with alittle more exhaust duration. However, like I said before. I will give up 20 horsepower on the juice for 10 on the motor.
The camshaft lift is .575 but, I also have 1.75s rockers. I am shifting at 6000. I will try to raise it to 6100 and see what happens. Although, in my experiences lugging the motor down on juice always picks up ET.

how?
just wondering

does that just cut the "pulsating surging
whatever the hell you call it thing" off?
