So at the last minute I decided to see if I could get kicked out of sears point...lol
The first run was a 11.3@128mph , still hot from the drive there. I was told to leave,but after some talking I talked them into letting me run on my "street tune"(I only have 1 tune...lol)
The second run started out the best of the night,but I got on the brakes after shifting to 4th(after looking at the slip it looked like it would have been a 10 sec run 7.188 @101mph 1/8th mile [Mad] )
The 3rd run I spun in first , hit the rev limiter and ran a 11.55@129
I just got the cage and some rear suspension pieces today so maybe next vid will be of a 10sec run.

Nice runs... too bad u had to let off on that 2nd run. I think that would have been the best run yet....

yea I was kicking myself after I seen the slip. On my 11.3 run I had a 7.48@97mph in the 8th so I was .3 and 4mph faster.

Sick is all I gotta say! 10's re yours.

Damn.... I think I set your rev limiter at 7500.....but it might have been 7200. Can't remember.

What kind of 60fts?

when this thing loses traction in first it gets to the limiter in a hurry.
The 60's where in the 1.8's except for the last run was a high 1.9

Looking good Josh. After you get all the suspension stuff installed you need to bring the car up to the shop so we can get your instant center dialed in correctly.

Then its tome for some slicks and you can call out Heather, (Shauns wife)....lol [Big Grin] [burnout]

You're not exactly in the 'light weight' catagory buddy...

What cage are you looking at?

I wanted the one Wolfe but had to settle for bolt in one from MM w/ swing out door bars. I just finished the test fit and fits really good,now time to start painting it.

Josh, I can assure you you'd be very surprised at how well the M/T drag radials hook! That way you don't have to worry about swapping tires at the track etc.

With the power this car has any 17" tire will take skills I don't have to launch at the track. I'm looking more to dropping the clutch @ 5000rpm , lifting the fronts and running 1.5 60's. For the street I will run a M/T or Hoosier DR's on a 10.5" wheel. I really don't mind changing tires at the track , it only takes 15mins and I wont have to worry about riding the clutch to get out of the hole.

What tires were you running on Wednesday? I was out there in my LX. I was trying to run on my 245x50-16 Nittos, which are so hard to launch with lots of power. I was getting mid 1.8 60's and managed to make it to the 4th round. I hit the brakes every run and they all would have been under 11.50 if I didn't lift. I don't have a cage either. My first time trial was 11.53 @ 125.3mph. Then I spun like crazy in 1st and 2nd and went 11.92 @ 125mph (pitiful!) After that, the tires started to hook a little better and I just launched it really softly. My best pass was in the 4th round. I went 11.51 @ 108mph. That probably would have been in the 11.3's if I didn't lift. I had a .023 reaction to Mitchel
's .040, but he ran 11.635 on an 11.64 dial so I didn't have much room to play with. I hit the brakes and kept him at my rear bumper, but I was dialed 11.55 so I broke out by more than him. It was close!

Are you going to be back out there this week? I am curious to see if they let you run in the street class. I had to fight with them to drop the street class time limit to 11.50 from 12.00. They may make you run in Comp Rod.

I was on worn out BFG DR's , my best 60' was a 1.81 on the run I got on the brakes. They told me from now on to run in comp rod which it ok w/ me , it'll be fun to see a stock looking Mach run next to them.

The key to your 60's are the amount of side wall on a 15" DR , unless of have yellow GT it will be very had to repeat that w/ a 17" DR.

lol by your own words obviously it isn't the key [Eek!] because he did it on a 18 with less side wall

Josh, I ran the 17" MT DR and had a best 1.66 60ft. Those tires are some sweet tires. You should get some and try them out and you wouldn't have to switch tires out.

Your car wasn't making 580 RWTQ at 4000 RPM's either. It will be a cold day in hell for anything short of a full slick to actually "hook". Even with a full slick the suspension will have to be built and dialed in very well to get the kind of traction he wants.

Of all the setups you could run with, a high horsepower PDB application is one of the hardest to get to plant the tires without spinning them.

[burnout]

28 x 10 x 15 Hoosier slicks are your best bet.
LOTS of sidewall to absorb the shock of all that TQ....& plenty of 'bite' to keep it hookin'......as long as the suspenssion can handle it.

Been running the MT DR's (275/50/16) on the wife's all-motor car as a street tire. Tried them at the dragstrip a few times. The difference was 2 tenths off the 60ft with full slicks vs the DR's. & that was with the 'Drew Mod'. Tires spin 2nd gear from a roll on the street no problem. Throw on the slicks & look out! It dead-hooks 2nd. Night & day difference from DR's to real slicks.

The TT is the same way. Won't hook on the 275/50/17 (28" tall DR's) M&H's in 2nd gear at any speed (even 80+mph). 2nd gear with a TH400 & 2.73 gears whines the motor to 6K RPM at 100MPH. 3rd hooks just fine. Throw the Hoosiers on there & the car hooks 2nd around 40-50mph.
M&H DR's are softer & hook better than MT's from my experience.....but still NOTHING compared to full slicks.

The M&H's do 1.7's in the TT consistantly. The smaller Hoosiers (26 x 10 x 15) are consistantly in the low 1.6's. Not as drastic of a difference as the same slicks to MT's, but still translates to 2-3 tenths in the 1/4.....AND a few extra MPH on the top end as they allow a harder launch & full throttle sooner.

A couple TNT's on the DR's & they really start to show some wear. 2 or 3 TNT's & the MT's were down to the wear bars due to the excessive burnouts needed to get these things to hook. The Hoosier slicks we run have well over 100 passes & have over 50% tread depth left.

If you want to run a DR at the strip.....the suspenssion will be setup a little different than with a full slick. Clutch needs to be dialed in (Tinner has the correct clutch setup) & launch technic is much different....& much harder on the clutch.

Don't get me wrong, those that run 1.4x 60fts on DR's are just plain BAD ASS...but they are not common. & given the choice between DR's & slicks at the dragstrip.....there's no question what I'd choose.
