WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

11.92@109...was a pretty good night.

Boy slicks sure help, LOL

60'-1.696
1/8-7.52
MPH-90
1/4-11.92
MPH-109

I ran 110 MPH almost every run, and 88 MPH in the 1/8th...On the last run (my quickest), I turned up the boost to 26 PSI (was at 24-25) and it was flying but I think I reached the end the octane (I had a little pump gas still in it when I put the 112 in it) cuz it knocked right before the traps, I let out resulting in the 109 MPH, that should have been more like 112.

3 out of 5 runs had a 1.69 60' and the other 2 were low 1.7's.

On all other runs (even the one where I accedentally left it in 2nd, damn coluim shift) resulted in a 12.3x...I could have gone bracket racing.

All times where made at full weight with 3/4 of a tank of gas, and all my tools in the trunk...I still haven't weighed it so for all I know it weighs 3000 pounds (Ok that's not gonna happen, but it is a no option T-type with aluimium bumper supports and drums).
 
congrats man, its really starting to move. Are you locking the torque convertor? That will give ya a couple more mph and a tenth or so as well. Get the 60 ft down to a low 1.60 and you'll be 11.6-7. Good to see it in the 11s :cool:
 
Thanks I'm pretty happy with it...This was my goal for the year and honestly I didn't think it was gonna happen.

No I didn't lock the converter, I wasn't even shooting for 11's this was the first time I've been low 12's and I only went high 12's for the 1st time last time at the track...I've had the power fro a while, but I had problems everytime at the track...Rear brakes, cheap tires, No line lock with s10 wheel cyl. (couldn't get the tires hot), etc.

It's nice it all finally paid off.
 
What was your best time without slicks? We are running about the same mph, I may have to invest in some DRs
 
I've never ran it on the race tune on street tires.

On the pump gas and DR's I went 12.84@106 with a 1.82 60'

If you get your car to 60' you'll be running good.
