So close to 10.99

[V6POWER]

I attended the Rockingham event today and I had a great time. I ran my best ever 1/8 and 1/4 mile and I was so close to a 10.99 but never got it because of my lousy 60' times. Clint tried his best to instruct me on doing a proper burnout to get a better 60' and on one run I thought I had it but the tire turned on the wheel. Thanks for the help Clint and I will use that method from now on. :biggrin: Mike helped me tune the car (thank you) and it was running great....my driving kept me from a 10 second run.

My best two runs were:
1.706
4.619
7.080
99.79
11.010
124.32

1.776
4.681
7.131
100.34
11.031
125.35

My worst of the six runs was:
2.198
5.245
7.728
99.14
11.668
124.14

As you can see, I need to launch better.

Boost = 26-27
Knock = 0
AFR = high 10s
TCC lock @ 95
Fuel = about 100 octane (93+110) with methanol injection
Rest of combo is in signature.

Man, great times.

remove the passenger seat, you may have gotten your 10.99!

 

[V6POWER]

No need to remove the seat. I just needed a 1.6xx 60'.

congrats......You've got that TE61 a moving.

Thanks Scott. I'm keeping the tune conservative so parts stay together.

Jim,
Glad to hear you finally hit that 100mph marker in the 1/8! Definately a 10sec car with a 1.6's 60ft or less. Next time I go down to RC's bring you data logs, from Rockingham, as I would like to examine them. Congrat's again Jim!

Mike--Thanks for your tuning help...it really helped. Let me know when you are going to Richard's and I will bring the logs.

Good runs Jim, be proud, you'll get your goal.

 

[V6POWER]

Thanks Sam. It may take a little more track time but I will get a 6.99 1/8 and/or a 10.99 1/4. :biggrin:

Congrats Jim



you got that thing hauling the mail.

 

[V6POWER]

Thanks Pat. Get your valve springs in and get some good times with your car.

I sure hope Piedmont builds a 1/4 mile track over the winter.

Nothing like running the full monty.

Now if I could only get my car to run at maxton's monster mile.
