Got my valve springs done. Going up to the track to see if there's any improvement.

Anyone going?
 
Good Luck Have fun. I will try to watch on my droid.

Sounds like your gonna have to leave at high boost? What tires you using?

I'm going to leave at whatever my brakes can hold. :D

I'm putting Pronto's ET streets on it, and I'm going to concentrate on getting my 60's down.
 
I didnt see you guys there , how did you do ?

I was there with a friend running his srt challenger with my little portable happy juice on it - ran 12.1 @119.90 :D

I also saw the rosewood colored t -type make a couple passes , first one blew my mind 8.8 @146 , 2nd pass I videod but he had traction issues out of the hole and only ran a 12.2........... at 149!!!!!:eek:
 
The rosewood T was jimmymorrisonjr. Pretty sick car. :eek: On the 8sec run, he hit the brakes!

I ran a pair of 12.33s at 109, and I pushed through the lights on the last run.

Place was packed last night, and a Cobra kit car bounced off of the walls and shut the track down for close to an hour. I might have to stick to Wednesday nights.
 
Some improvement I see! It was a beautiful night. I was beat from moving furniture around. I will be going soon. If Al ever builds his tranny he'll go too.:rolleyes:
 
I got a pic of the cobra on the flatbed , every time I have been to an ned street night this year a car got messed up , 2010 mustang super snake , m3 bmw and now this cobra kit car , all the same M.O. sliding around like you can on the street then hook and hit the wall.

rwd & traction loss that you ignore = eventual traction on a dragstrip resulting in ugliness....

once you get past the water all the schmucks with treaded tires rolled through you will hit dry pavement and hook up - whichever way you are pointed you will go that way before you can react:eek:
 
There was improvement, but not enough.

I was just looking at the only good log I got, and I must have turned the boost down more than I thought I did after the last time out. I went from 25lb with O2s in the .810s to 20lb with O2s in the .830s. I got a couple of 1.74 60s this time so once I turn it back up, I may get that 11 I'm after.
 
Go back to the 25lbs and raise the alky.;)

I watched the Cobra kit car . He had trouble all night .. On the run he crashed he let on an off the throttle multiple times.. each time loading and unloading the chassis .. BOOM... Run was over after the first time he let off. I left after that. Only saw 1 Buick till then.

There were only two of us there. Jimmy's rocket, and my daily driver. There was a nice TTA in the staging lanes when the Cobra crashed.

From what I heard, tech almost didn't let the Cobra run because he didn't have a full roll bar on the car. It's a good thing he kept it upright.

don't need em :p I leave at 8 unless something catches my attention. I drove around before I left (looked at the Cobra) an didn't see any thing else. Don't know where Jimmy was .. Maybe he was in the staging lanes :redface:
