Sooooooo close!!!
After getting the drag radials, I was hoping for a sub 2.0 60' time, and sub 13.0 ET..
Ended up with a 13.061 ET, and a 2.010 60'!!! Soooooo close!!!

Re: Sooooooo close!!! (MarkLT1)
That's weird... is the track prepped at all? I was pulling 1.85x 60' times all day last weekend, on street tires. I would count to 6 while I was in the burn out box.
My best ET was 13.108 and I have a rev limiter problem. Once that is worked out, I think I'll see 12's on a stock LT1 motor, which is my current goal.

MPH was 103-105 all night.. I am normally at 106-108...
Then again, it was muggy as can be.. the 13.061@105.4 happened after it had cooled to 74deg/74% humidity.. Everyone was complaining about bad times/Trap speeds..

Re: Sooooooo close!!! (MarkLT1)
Mark you can get a better 60 foot but not much better though. The convert at 1200 and 3.07 rear will hold you back some.
Play with different pressures and have someone make sure you do a nice burnout.

Re: Sooooooo close!!! (REDGAR)
REDGAR- yup.. I definately gotta get new gears/TC.. only problem is, I want to wait till I can afford/find a DANA 44 setup, so I dont smoke my diff... Exhaust is coming this summer (which should open things up quite a bit) and the gears will be next summer.
