Shakedown Pass 1/8 mile

Can't you get a different valve body to raise the shift points?

Yes, but the more HP goes to the converter, the higher the rpm's become. I already have my weights modified to shift higher, hence why I run a 30'' tall tire. Im going through the traps at 5600 instead of normal 5800-5900.

You can't run 30" tall tires! What's wrong with you?

 

[TT/Ameasap]

Low 11's on the street with plenty of traction is the way I roll
I will never go back to a small dia. tire again.

What shifter are you using if you plan to shift manually?

 

[TT/Ameasap]

I plan to use the stock shifter with ses light for shift light.

I've been there, done that, I wasn't too happy with the results trying to use a stock shifter. I'm not saying it won't work though. Once you start running down into the 10's it not incredibly easy to move a stock shifter one click ahead and time it right.

 

[TT/Ameasap]

I hear that. Im just using what I have for now. I have my cable adjusted to a quick bump out of 1st and I can rap it up to 3rd hard as I want with this B&M gate.

Here we go again.
How about this. I swapped back to 26'' tall tire and all is well

 

[2QUICK2B6]

Basically, the car is a beast!!!!

 

[BARRACUDA1968]

Great run!

Why is it difficult to get the TTA in the 9's?

Is there something different than the Grand National? Not that 9's are easy either way but just curious.

 

[TT/Ameasap]

So far, there have been a hand full of guys that hit what seems to be the limits of the heads at 10.3-10.5 There are a different design than the GN head all together. We have found that Gn headed TTA's run just as hard as Gn's. Only caveat is fabbing new headers and DP to allow the GN heads to work.

 

[TT/Ameasap]

Of course,I have a different setup than most, so I think Im a good candidate to achieve that goal.

Great launch and run. Going to see some nines when the boost starts coming up!

 

[TT/Ameasap]

Im gonna have to tame this thing now! lol
I think this is the fastest 1/8th mile stock headed TTA. Went 6.64
Now gotta work on the big end.
