NEW PERSONAL BEST TONIGHT!
 
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/d...st11-11-08.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

We need video proof.




Congrats on the new best.

DadsZ28 11-11-2008 10:26 PM

WOW.....congrats dude......man I don't think I,ll line up with you now,: I don't think I can hit an 80 yet!:-x Guess I'm gonna have to take the seats out and try some weight reduction now to even have a shot at that! I hear it wasn't too crowded down there tonite.

JerzLT1 11-11-2008 10:30 PM

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 11-12-2008 06:13 AM

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.

Anti_Rice_Guy 11-12-2008 08:59 AM

Congrats, update your sig.

baddest434 11-12-2008 12:31 PM

congrats on the new PB's!

NJ346 11-12-2008 01:21 PM

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?

hoosier quick time pros 26x10.50 ram adjustable master cyl, drill mod, 01-02 slave cyl. ram powergrip HD clutch 5800 rpm launch, just about dumping it. i rev it around 5000 rpm and as im letting the clutch out, im stabbing the throttle

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 11-12-2008 05:06 PM

very nice Ron Congrats!!!

you almost got me, my best SI time is
60' 1.597
1/8 7.572
mph 87.85
1/4 11.812
mph 117.63

also your very close to the SI list on tech :)

you coming on sunday?

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