Saw lots of folks run well today. Joe, John, Kevin, Mark, Chirag and others I am forgetting. Wish I could learn to launch on the Nitto's- more practice to come. Had one 1.77 last Sat night on them. Duplicating that will be tough. Anyhow- last Sun I found that I was restrictor plate racing. My TB gasket was smaller than my TB. Trimmed it w/ the ol' X-acto. Seemed to help-
1.912 60 ft.
8.07 1/8th at 88.381
12.493 at 111.781
![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Sat night I ran 88.14MPH in the 1/8TH and 111.02 in the 1/4. Ran a second 111.70 today, also. Mark hit the juice, but without a bottle heater- looked very promising.
It's Miller Time!

Nice times Jim. 112 is right around the corner. The weather looked like it should have been good for some strong runs.

your combo and mph are impressive. good job
my best mph was 108.19
ran a 12.62 @ 107.5 on a 1.78 60' on my final pass. Unfortunately I had just dipped the timing down to 12 BTDC, and it cost me 0.7 mph on a run-run basis. Oh well.
Interesting, 29 PSI 'vac on' fuel pressure on my 30#'ers seemed to work best.
12.5s are just another pass away. I don't see why 12.4s would be out of reach on a good launch.
See you next week eith Borla XR-1 mufflers and a real edelbrock performer upper to replace my performer RPM knockoff.
had a blast! long day, I'm tired.

I think we got about 10 passes. what i cant beleive is that is with out the EPEC or ice on the intake. Casey call me or email me your #. No new mods. Just drive it like you dont care if it breaks.

I know how you feel. The Track Prep was disappointing
It's more then just the heater that I need to make it better. With the 4.10s I'm running out of gear and the window switch is shutting the nitrous down on me in fourth gear. Plus I have to learn to drive a stick on the bottle. Also I wasn't getting the WOT to kick in everytime when I wanted it. Its something you have to think about mashing your foot to the floor. It sure felt strong when it was kicking in though. With the heater and some ET Streets it will run low 12s. Best I got today is below
1.93 85.06 10.79 12.85 @ 110.02
Best run on the motor was
1.81 81.22 11.06 13.25 @102.9

Thanks Eric, theres so much more in it though, with the heater and taller Tire It should be fine with the 4.10s I need to activate the Nitrous Earlier in first. Its just a matter of time and getting used to the new setup.

Oh yeah, he beat that handily. Article should be up on F/M in the next couple of days.

Hey Jim I was just thinking, I attribute your mph gain 100% to finally stepping up from 19# injectors.
60/65 mm TB's in an NA combo probably doesn't make a damn bit of difference

as usual, I speak in eubonics. I thought you were on 24#'ers now, never mind. I'll stick to installing body-kits thank you, drive through.
