Ran my 98 at the 1/4 mile

I made it out to Richmond Dragway on Friday, we got there late, so I only got in two runs. My first run was on my drag radials at 15psi mounted to my millenia wheels.

reaction .7625
60ft 2.1007
330ft 5.8493
1/8 et 8.8767
1/8 mph 83.13
1/4 et 13.5670
1/4 mph 105.53

my second run was on Hoosier quick time pros, on millenia wheels, at 20psi

reaction .6071
60ft 2.0621
330ft 5.8306
1/8 et 8.8099
1/8 mph 84.02
1/4 et 13.4231
1/4 mph 106.26

since I got to the track late I only got in two passes. My car never had a chance to cool down and in my case that causes me lots of power loss. Maybe I can make it back before the end of the season and give it another shot. Over all I am happy with my times, but I need a sub 2 second 60 foot time.

13.4 & 13.5 man if i ran those times, 2 passes would have been enough for me, lol ! 2.0 is nice it would be good to see you squeak a 1.9 with the dr's.

thanks man...to be honest I was hoping for better and I am sure I would have gotten it but it was my first and only pass on those tires. To tell you the truth that is not that great of a 60' for those tires and my power level.

Power mods:
V2 w/3.125 pulley (still running below 10:1 a/f ratio)
Pathfinder TB with port matched intake neck
Cattman Y/straight pipe/Greddy SP catback
D2 coilovers 9/6 spring rates, set close to the middle on dampening
Fidanza flywheel, and ACT street/strip clutch
**thats all I can remember right now, I am guessing I can run high 12's if I ever get the car tuned....I have not had much luck tuning it with different FMU disc and my SAFCII, I think a crack in my MAF housing is screwing things up, I had the car pretty close to 11:1, and I went back to the dyno trying to get it to about 11.5:1 but instead I could not get it above 10:1 even with a 4/1 FMU disc and the SAFCII pulling as much as possible. I have another MAF in the garage but I am afraid to replace it until I can get back to the dyno, I am guessing the set up I have now will run pretty lean with everything working correctly. Right now my beater has a blown head gasket so i am more concerned with fixing that right now.

I really wish I would have had a chance to run the car after it cooled off. Last year when I ran it around the same conditions, I was trapping about the same, until I let it cool off and my traps went up to around 108

when i run the 11 lb pulley without nitrous it gets me about 13.1 @ 106mph,
so i figure on a good day with a 108 trap you should do the same or a tad better.

I should also mention that I cannot get my intake plenum font bolts all the way do, so I am guessing I am loosing plenty of boost there. I never know if my boost gauge is accurate because it is an electronic one as opposed to a mechanical gauge. On my electronic gauge I am only seeing around 8 psi at redline. I will try to find out if I am leaking when I have more time. Right now it does not concern me that much since I need to replace the motor in my other max.

excellent times, lots of potential there...
which MAF are you using Maxima or Z32?
once you get you boost/vacuum leak found, and tune for better AFR you should run sick times

replace motor you say.. VQ35

I am on a A32 MAF.

As far as the 3.5, I don't have enough money right now to do that, and I cannot afford to wait since I take my 98 off the road for the winter.
