My new best: [email protected]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got 13 runs in at Sacramento Raceway today during test-n-tune. I got there and ran a [email protected] w/ 2.07 60' (my slowest time). I changed up my tune an little and ran 12.06 consistently while hot-lapping.

I ended up running out of gas (practically) and fueled up with some 91 octane (I was running 100 octane to avoid any knock retard) at the local station down the street. I came back, let the car cool down for approximately 30 minutes and ran a [email protected] w/ a 1.85 60'!!

I hotlapped and got a 12.05 or something like that and waited about 20 minutes to cool down and ran a 12.07. Maybe the 91 octane gave me some knock retard (I need to check my data logs). Anyways I almost made it.

The temperature was about 66 degrees F and it was overcast. Traction was OK but I spun a couple times when I got too aggressive on the launch. My best 60' for the day was 1.80 with M/T 275/40/17s.

 

Way cool. Just .02 from an 11.99. You should be able to do 1.6X 60's. Should put you in Mao's territory.

Congrats

 

I've been at it with the M/T ET Street drag radials for a few months and can't get better than 1.78 60'. Don't know what I need to do to get that down to 1.6? Any ideas?

 

You should have taken a dump. lol

Congrats, that is awesome.

 

Hmmm ... next time.

Thanks

 

Let Mao give it a whirl. I'm sure he can give you some pointers.

 

Yeah, I certainly will. I don't think I can get much more by tweaking the tune.

 

Congrats...excellent times!!:mains:............and just shows that higher octane is not always the answer....higher octane gas has less energy (BTUs) per gallon....if the engine is not built for the octane level to overcome the lower energy output you will actually lose power....

 

oh so close jeff!!! lol skip breakfast the morning of racing and dinner the night before!!! lol

 

If I don't like what I see on the board at the 1/8th mile I can always start chucking stuff out the window on the last half of the run to shed weight

Also I need to get to that balloon shop and fill my tires with helium.

 

bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

Are you loosing traction on launching or hooking up

 

It was pretty good yesterday so only on the actual launch when I didn't roll into it.

 

Congrats...but does it really, really, REALLY bug you that you came so close to 11's, but didn't get it?:ronlove:

 

Absolutely. I remember being at the track last year before head/cam and I ran a 13.100 followed by a 13.010 and a 13.001 I swear it is only a couple hundreths but for some reason I tend to end up on the other side of 12.00
