Good day at the track...

[TTA850]

Went out Sat for a Camaro & Firebird vs Ford & Mustang shootout, kept it at 24psi and not launching too agressive for consistency.

Time shots:
10.87 @ 122.96 1.49
10.85 @ 123.86 1.52
11.01 @ 123.49 1.65(oil down right in front of me before my pass)

First round went sideways but got lucky thatnks to other guys .374 light:
r/t - .060
e/t - 11.130 @ 123.09 1.731 (10.85 dial)

Second round still a bad light for me but car is working:
r/t - .066
e/t - 10.894 @ 115.68 1.532 (10.88 dial)

Third round bad light but dead on:
r/t - .063
e/t - 10.845 @ 123.53 1.519 (10.84 dial)

Final round even worse light and I spun but got lucky, other guy ran a 10.169 on a 10.17 dial :
r/t - .083
e/t - 10.925 @ 123.15 1.57 (10.84 dial)

So even though I never got my reaction times to come around I still ended up with my 6th eliminator win in 8 final rounds this season

Just thought I'd share,
Steve

Thanks

As for suspension, in the front I have Moroso springs, Lakewood 90/10 struts, and the sway bar removed - everything else stock. In the rear I have Hotchkis trailing arms and panhard bar(non-adjustable), Jegster torque arm(also non-adjustable), Lakewood 50/50 shocks, stock springs w/air bags, and stock rear sway bar.

It's just a bunch of bolt on parts but works well and usually keeps the 60fts within .03 as long as the track is there(and no oil down right in front of me like what happened 3 times yestarday). And it doesnt ride as bad as it sounds, I usually suprise my friends at how well it rides and handles even at highway speeds through turns. It's not like a stock TTA's but better than I thought.

Doesn't look good, unless I have my new WG by midweek and have time to tune the DFI. I stepped up a bit on the turbo(T76BB), went to a 3600 stall 10" converter and some other things. I'm going to see if I can push the crank outta the engine in the car since my other block is almost ready at the machine shop :biggrin:
