Mod list is a magnum, rxt, 4.10 on stock rebuilt trac loc, aed signature series motor, B heads, php ported intake, v-1, and lots of other stuff. Previous best was at redding with an 11.98 @ 123. First run was a 11.65 spinning all the way through 1st and 2nd with a 2.06 60. At the end of the track for the first time ever I experienced spark blowout. It got worse as the day dragged on and I lost more and more mph. I had almost 3k on my plugs and should have swapped em b4 going. Last run was my strongest. 60 was a 1.90 and I ran an 11.58@118. I am going to need to play with some shock settings because I feel I should be sixtying much better than this. Let me know if you all see anyway I can improve, IE launch, setup, shifting etc. I am looking for tens at this power level before I up my game <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Sorry that I cant embed it<br />First run<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/8B5NtNZ1BlU?hd=1" target="_blank">Vortech Mystic Cobra - YouTube</a><br /><br /><br />Last run of the day<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/8Fq10vIWf0w" target="_blank">Vortech Mystic 11-10-12 - YouTube</a><br /> <br /> <small>[ November 12, 2012, 11:54 PM: Message edited by: 9cobrasnake9 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Nifty50</b> <br /><small>Member # 9987</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,13,0,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Are u using a 2 step to launch or just dropping the clutch at a certain rpm?

Keep the same rpm launch but come out of the clutch faster, if that doesnt work then increase rpm, traction isnt the issue on the last run as it looks like your getting plenty during the 60ft. so theres not 60ft to be gained from traction cuz your getting it already. Only 1 thing at a time so you know what works. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>9cobrasnake9</b> <br /><small>Member # 575</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,14,20,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Cool thanks for the advice!
