1.7 60' Finally and a 12.1 @ 109 MPH
1.7 60' Finally and a 12.1 @ 109 MPH
1.7 seconds isn't a very long time but it took me a long time to accomplish it.
Broke 4 of my records today.
1. N/A is now a 14.7
2. 35 Shot is now a 13.1
3. Fastest time is now 12.1
4. 1.7 60'
Should have tried the big shot around 11 AM when I did the N/A and 35 shot runs it was much cooler and not as much humidity. Next time I will keep that in mind. Also had mega wheel spin on the 150 shot and because I let the auto shift itself it immediately shifted to 2nd because the RPM was up over 6k but then the wheels started to slow and it bogged quite a bit so I think I can improve on that if I reduce my slick pressure. Was running 15 psi for the 35 and N/A runs and thats too high for higher HP traction.
Wanted to make another run but eliminations started and I went back to my 35 shot for bracket racing. Got eliminated first round, I broke out with a 35 shot running a 13.3 @ 90 MPH standing on the brakes at the end. MORE PRACTICE get your sheit together Jime.
PS All those times today were also with full interior. Trunk was empty though.

What are you doing on launch to achieve a 1.7 60ft? You still on the stock TC?

I just brake torque to around 1500, nail it on the 3rd yellow and hit the nitrous at the same time. Don't let go till I cross the line. Today it actually shifted into O/D about 200' from the finish line, thats the first time I had that happen. Last time I ran the 12.4 I had the O/D off so I was on the limiter at the end.

Man, with a freakin 100 dry shot of the NOS kit and regular 15 inch steelie rims/tires and automatic, I was only running a 13.6. Then, with the same kit and the 5-speed in it last summer, I only did a best of 13.5 when it worked........You suck Jime.....j/k......Congrats man, that is completely and utterly amazing.....
Not much left til you get the top spot now, just a little more....

VQDriver I have the S-AFCII but its running stock settings until I can get a proper wideband hooked up. So no tuning on the A/F and I am running the NX suggested Nitrous and Fuel jets. The only other thing I use is my OBDII reader to watch mostly timing and engine temp.
GuestNX you are right on the trap speeds compared to MardiGrasMax. My car will never run that fast but that is the difference between spray and a S/C or Turbo. They make power up high and it just keeps climbing the higher the RPM, with spray it makes all its power down low and keeps getting lower at higher RPM's Thats why spray is so great out of the hole.
ch13f, my car now weighs 2750 race ready so I have done quite a bit of weight reduction, just not sure how much more I can do and still keep it a grocery getter.
This is a picture of my 11 lb battery and it has been permanently installed for the last 2 months. Its a gel cell from a 400cca starting battery. Most folks that look at my car think its a stock battery.

Considering he has spent approx. $1800 too run low 12's, I doubt he would want to spend close to $1000 just to save 50 pounds IMO.

Matt you are right a CF hood is way out of my budget, you know me tooo well.
Considering doing a homemade fiberglass one though.
Rut-Ro!!! I better get some more Scooby snacks!
Unreal! 2750#
now thats what I talkin bout!Great times Jim, I feelin the heat now! Great motivation for me!
Sounds like you need to step up the slick size to keep you outa OD?

You could probably break the 11.99 mark with a 24in slick and a 3in exhaust. Given that you are spraying over 125whp worth of nitrous, a 2.5in catback would definitly choke the engine in the midrange and up top. A muffler shop could fab up a 3in catback for around $130-180 and you could just keep the stock muffler and unbolt it for the track. Hell a 70mm TB should help you power wise also, mardi had some good gains with 3in exhaust and the 70mm TB.
