Post VHO Track Times

TXsilverado and I went out to HRP Sunday night. There were a few others out there as well from here.
Anyways, here are my 5 runs:
First pass: R/T: .932 60ft: 2.561 1/8: 10.146 1/4: 16.061 MPH: 91.88

Second pass: R/T: .997 60ft: 2.499 1/8: 10.146 1/4: 15.423 MPH: 92.39

Third pass: R/T: .798 60ft: 2.144 1/8: 9.192 1/4: 14.327 MPH: 93.63

Forth pass: R/T: .851 60ft: 2.345 1/8: 9.442 1/4: 14.620 MPH: 92.77

Fifth pass: R/T: .854 60ft: 2.176 1/8: 9.305 1/4: 14.483 MPH: 93.16

Traction was the biggest issue at first, but latter figured out the water trap wasn't needed for the factory 20's.
Will be finding out if the factory air box and tube will give better times over the Volant. I've heard you loose 1/4 mi time with the Volant CAI kit.
What does everyone think of the times?

Jim

Any weight reduction? That 14.3 run looks very strong on the top end.

The only weight reduction was the tailgate and spare tire on that particular 14.3 run.
Though on my 14.4 run, I did have the tailgate on and up. The spare was still off.
I also had a good 1/4+ tank of fuel on all runs.

Not bad, makes me jealous, I've had to do all the mods in my sig to get those times. Well my last 1/4 times were before headers and cam, but yeah, good times.

hah, we both spun half way down the track on the first run. to give you an idea of how bad we spun...my first pass was a 17.402 then we figured it out and both got into the 14's. my best was a 14.88@91.30. cant wait to get it tuned

we both lost some weight. tailgates, spares and my subwoofers.

Was the track that bad or were you guys driving thru the water? Last time we went I got awesome traction on all runs except the one where I stalled up to 2500 rpm's.

Also, what kinda tires were you boys on?

Well, I'm sure the tires aren't really helping much either, but yeah, try to avoid the water if possible.

those times aren't bad. with that big of a tire you'll find that you're carrying alot of water to the line. if you use the water at all you need to go around it and back into the water. the vho has more than enough power though to just light the tires without the water. for the most part you only need to just heat them a little and get them clean. try running the pressure at max in the front and around 26 in the rear.
