View Full Version : New best but a lil disappointed..

Previous best at redline was 7.81 @ 90.9
I used the same bottle with 3 1/8th mile runs. On the run at redline I was on nitto drag radials.
This time I was on et streets and was looking for some better 60ft times but didn't really get them.
60ft. 1.775
1/8th 7.78
mph 89.78
1/4 12.117
mph 113.22
It kept killing the ET streets off the line and it was down 1 mph in the 1/8th mile. I'm guessing just the tires were the difference in the mph but I was really hoping to get into the 11s. I'll go back in a couple weeks with some suspension mods and see if I can't crack the 7.6s.

Congrats :)
I ran a new best also. Not as fast as you, but pretty good considering the vehicle. 12.6X@108.Xmph. It's gonna take just a little shot of nitrous to keep up w/ my buddies and their TBSS's now.

Good job Kyle. Next time I'm home for a weekend we can stick my bottle in your car since it has a heater and a guage on it. Let some air outta your tires and see if she will work a lil better.

Sorry we couldn't line up bro. Did you ever get your stuff fixed? What did you run? I would have stayed and ran you but I ran out of nitrous and they didn't have any so I was screwed.

Screw the cruise when I can go race a full 1/4 mile and there was no waiting in line today. It was pretty nice.

Yea you need to work on those 60 ft times. i cut 1.6X's so that explains i better time. Mph we are about the same. 90-92 mph is where i usually run. Depends on the car, weather, boost, whether or not i'm pissed at the wife or not. I tend to beat the car more when i'm pissed at her. IN turn i go a bit faster each time lol
I'll catch up with you one day. I still need to run mustangguy also. :D

Yea we got one pass out of it. That elec water pump only caused us problems all weekend. my mph or et did not pick up any with it.
Weve run this setup for 10 months without a single problem. i change one minor thing to try and pick up a few hp and it only causes problems and does not make the car any quicker.
i ran a 12.29@112.44 with a 1.79 60. Previous best was a 12.22@112.xx with a 1.75 60 ft

No, he has a 302 with some bolt ons and a 125 shot.... if it was a 4v it would have run in the 6's. :rolleyes:

ahh, I was confused, I thought a modular was the best way to get power out of a 302 cid engine

Not with these tiny et streets and bone stock suspension including the front sway bar. 125 shot. I launched on motor then floored it after i got out some and thats how I got the 12.1 and it still trys to rip the et streets off the track.

Those nittos like to spend ALOT of time in the burnout box. Other than that, I dont know what to tell you if you didnt like the way they hooked. Those are some good times, keep it up!

I finally got into the 13's (13.99 @ 96 1.9 '60) and called it a day. I didn't want to chance breaking something and leaving my brother stranded in Ennis. Met Geronimo (Tom and Eddie), their car ran good but has lots left in in I think. mustangguy289, if my head wasn't up my ass all week I would have just asked you to bring that console to Ennis and I could have gotten it from you there, :( . You car looked and ran good BTW.
Yeah, no line was great! Next weekend should be a great time as well!

You need to get that nitrous gauge on the car already! No telling what the pressure was or how much was left in it since you raced with that same bottle the night before. I think you can get into the 11's with no prob! I didnt get what I wanted out of mine either so.......who wants to go next weekend!? I think some of the big boys will be out there running, so we will have the traction we need :D
Im bout to go thru the video I have of Kyles, Toms, and a few others.....I even have a vid of the Echo that ran who evers that was.

Thanks but in my mind it didnt run good. Gave us problems the whole time. Managed one run. Battery kept going dead on us and a leak showed up.
It was also good meeting geronimo.. even though i met him before i knew he was on this site yrs ago.

Is that the car that was there in you're avatar? If so it sounded great! Though I didnt get to see it run. I saw it almost run then you took it off the line....if that was you
