First time at the track.. Rookie here.

[c n avoid87]

Sat may 26th. My bery first oficial track runs heres what i have done to the car. 30 over forged botton end with girdle, ported cast iron heads, with new head gasket 1k ago, intake ported n matched to heads, 60lbs inj, 255 walbro intank pump, newly rebuilt by presition turbo 6776S. Big front mout,(not sure what brand) 3row aliminum radiator, trans fully built by jimmys trans with trans break(didnt use) with a 3200stall. B&m trans cooling with its own cooling fan,tps tec, ls1 maf with translator, and offcurse alkycontrol kit with matching tt chip. Runing 21-22psi... street tires, drove the car there about 1hr or so drive n back with no issues.. No knock at all in any of my passes only did 3 run out of meth.should i be able to hit 11's with DR's n more practice? Maybe i can boost a bit more?

First pass can u tell?? Lol..

Second run. A bit better but still roockie mistakes
Third was alot better but phone died on me...;-(

Holy cow!!! That's some serious MPH, so obviosly you've got the power and it shows!! But...... It's also obvious that your 60's times sucked real bad, and likely due to a number of things including bad tire choice for the combo! and maybe a lot more practice needed!
You're definately making enough power to run DEEP 11's with good traction, and some tuning. You're already running over 117 which is mid 11 kind of power. Add some terrific traction and some practice and tuning, and you've got a good chance to crack the 10's!!

You need drag radials. Do you have a scanmaster?

Yes i do, and a knok gauge from
Casper never moved from the green. I wish i had a power loger but is out of the budget for now.

this post gave me no hope for my first time at the track. Your setup is way better than mine. And i was hoping for mid to low 12's. I'm sad now.

I hope so.it felt good but at the same time scary.. By the third run it was more relaxing n felt much more better.

You should be in the 12s with that. Alky and traction should be good for 11s.

thanks for making me happy again. all said and done with alky kit, chip, and tune. What would i be looking at price

 

[c n avoid87]

Not cheap..but whats cheap for this cars?but trust me is well worth it. The rush the feeling is just great!!

Going to the track and making passes is what you both need to do. Those pros you see on tv that lay down the killer r/t and run the number didn't get there over night.

Your 2.xx 60 ft must be improved and the mid eight eighth miles show that you have a nasty top end charge. Getting her launched is what you need. As stated above you mph is good for some 11.6-11.7 quarter miles with good launch and a 1.7 60 ft.

I agree i do need alot of practice. It was my first time ever going down the track at one point i let of the gas idk why.. Scared me a bit maybe? But next time ill get some DRs n maybe that will help.. I hope to break 11's next time.Is not as easy as it looks in pass time ...

Don't be afraid to just do some 1/8th mile hits and coast the rest of the way until you get used to the power the car makes. It will help you concentrate on the important stuff like your 60 foot time instead of just looking at the final ET.

Launching on boost at the track is different from doing a burnout on the street. With traction it's a great feeling to pull out hard and be pushed into the seat. Tires and practice launching will get you 11s.

As dcving 6 sez, go to the wed night or whatever night your local track has test n tune and practice launching until you are comfortable and can get it out of the hole every time then move on to getting a great eighth mile time. The car will top end on its own with you holding the wheel and the pedal down.

Your car has more power than mine so getting it out of the hole will be harder. Mine will lay down a 1.9 60 ft on street tires. It will put down a 1.7x 60 ft on G60-15 M&H dot tires which are pretty small. A 255/60-15 M/T dot tire should get you there or better. Just be prepared to buy trans parts and labor. It all costs, how fast do you want to go?

If you where WOT past 60 foot mark ,Your Transmission is wasted or will be soon!,It Slides into Gear..(At :47 seconds on 1st vid,at :43 seconds 2nd vid) Your loosing all your ET there,it's shifting like a mannual...Are you sure it's set correctly with the TV cable on the driver side throttle body??? You'd get even more ET if use the trans. brake an/or stage the car to at least 5 lbs boost. Before that though Show your video's to your tranny guy an Say WTF?
