NEW PERSONAL BEST TONIGHT!

[98tadriver]

unfortunately nobody was able to film my runs. i believe some other people did but i never saw them after that. the only video i have is from laying my camera down on the floor but i think its pretty much useless http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd186/98tadriv/?action=view&current=newpersonalbest11-11-08.flv

anyway---for those of you who dont know, my car is full bolt ons. stock internals, stock 10bolt rear with 3.42 gears (stock), and some weight redux

those highlighted in bold = new pb

60' 1.694 -- i think last year was 1.691

330' 4.935 --- i think last year was 4.928

1/8th 7.589 @ 92.70mph

1000' 9.877

1/4 11.816 @ 116.90 mph

only things ive had done since last year was put in a new transmisison, and get a Chummmma tune

Last year i had a 12 bolt with 3.73s and a chassis mounted tq arm

this year im on a stock 10bolt with stock gears as mentioned above and a stock tq arm lol

i could probably drop another 100lbs without taking out my abs or getting a new k member/a arms

with just gears i should be able to hit 11.6x-11.70s

cant wait to see what it does on the 100 shot and then maybe the 150

thanks everybody! i got there around 8pm and managed to get 4 runs in. so it wasnt too busy, even with the gamblers running

[69BirdX]

i got there at 5 got 4 runs in and left by 830-9. i decided to leave cause the track was loosing its prep. to many cars broke off the line. I spun bad on my last run.

Congrats, update your sig.

Wow I love how smooth ur car sounds on the launch. I have about 10hp less than u at the rear wheels(lets call it 20 at the flywheel) and I'm having trouble breaking 12's because 1)I'm on street tires and 2) I need new clutch hydraulics/driver mod. I have a few questions about ur setup since mine is somewhat close and I'm way behind u in the 1/4 mile. What's ur launch rpm and are u doing a straight drop or are u slipping the clutch? Also what tire are you using? Clutch: Stock hyrdraulics? drill mod? and what clutch?

nice, I plan on getting some tires, an 01-02 slave, the new tick adj. master cylinder, and a new clutch for next season. How do u like the adj. master? does it make shifting these cars that much faster?

[Demonicbird00]

60' 1.597
1/8 7.572

dont think it made my shifting faster, but its definately easier and more consistant

[98tadriver]
