previous best was a 12.26 @ 114mph

i guessed that i'd run a 12.5 @ 112mph last night, since my 3-4 synchros are so bad i have to double clutch to go into 4th gear. that = i should hit at least a 12.0 @ 114-115mph maybe even 11s with a good trans.

1st run

60' 1.785
330' 5.064
1/8 7.786 @ 90.45 mph
1000' 10.173
1/4 12.212 @ 111.47mph

2nd run

60' 1.702
330' 5.010
1/8 7.738 @ 90.34mph
1000' 10.143
1/4 12.176 @ 111.85mph

not being able to rip her into 4th was killing me and my trap speed
i did not powershift these runs either

next time i go, i will have the skinnies on at the very least and a lil weight gone as well

and after dhl locates my trans, i will have that in too!

notes: i didnt have the skinnies on that night, yes my a/c was still in and no i havent had the car tuned yet. :) however, my other goal of getting my 60' times to 1.79 or faster was achieved. i was launching @ at 5800rpm. i slipped it a lil too much on the first run. 2nd run, I was almost dumping the clutch.

thanks all! this next transmission, pending dhl pulls thru and finds it, should last me quite some time! no more powershifting for me!! true story. i got my shifts down pretty good w/o powershifting now and that will help it last a while :)
