Fartpipe GOES 10.81@130.08mph!!! FINALLY!
Well making what could be a really long story short. I made the last minute choice to get a ticket to race at Cecil on sunday at the Superstallions of the net track rental. Well the temps were very cold in the lower 40's. I changed the plugs for good measure, changed the clutch fluid, took the passenger seat out this time. I made the 1.5 hour drive there. Pulled in and immediately went through tech in the lanes. Some friends came over and were saying is this it etc. I said should I just go ahead and make a shake down pass since i haven't had it at the track for almost 2 months. They said yeah go ahead and make one and then let it cool down. I pull up and do a healthy burnout with the tire pressure at 14psi. This was the result....
1st pass:
60ft-1.604
330ft-4.571
1/8th-7.031
1/8mph-99.17
1000ft-9.158
1/4mi-10.912
1/4mph-129.50
I proceded to get my slip cause i thought it felt like a not so great launch and was expecting a 11.1x at 127mph. Well to my surprise i got that slip. I looked at it like in amazement. I look at the right lane and that was a 12sec run. I look up at my windshield for my # to match the one on the slip. (all while sitting at the timeslip tower). I undo the harness, undo the swingout bar, jump out of the car and look at my car# and back at the slip. Guy behind me gives the 2 hands up like uhhh WTF? I start yelling and jump in the car and head to the pitts. Seen a bunch of people coming over to say congrats and say was that me LOL! After a couple flying leaping hugs in to strong male arms I was absolutely stoked. So I let the car cool for a bit and went to go back.
I got behind a street tire car and in front of him was a big street tire truck. I was like oh no please oh please dont drive through the water... YUP you guessed it they both drove through the water. I was rewarded with the following pass:
60ft-1.723
330ft-4.680
1/8th-7.132
1/8mph-99.46
1000ft-9.251
1/4mi-11.002
1/4mph-129.64
Spun really hard but kept into it cause the nose stayed up. I was absolutely astounded with the MPH. I took out the passenger seat, installed meizere electric waterpump, had more gas then I would have liked about 3/8th tank. Drove to and from the track on the same tank 130miles lol. I did add 8oz torco to the tank when it would have been around 6-7gallons of gas in the tank to help mix it in by the time i got there.
So pissed at coming back the horrible 11.0's I came right back around and got in line. Shut the car off due to nothing but radial cars in the lane. I waited till i seen some bigger slick tire cars come around. Went in behind one of them. This was the pass I received and was my final pass cause I just didnt want to push my luck after this one. Though it shows the car would've ran a 10.7's easily IMO.
3rd pass:
60ft-1.551-spinning
330ft-4.512 light spin on 1-2shift
1/8th-6.959
1/8mph-99.30-WTF I've trapped 100mph before and couldnt do it today!
1000ft-9.073
1/4mi-10.819
1/4mph-130.08
picking up nearly 31mph in the last part of the quarter is insane IMO. Not sure how it did that. Last time the car was dynoed was at 444rwhp/385rwtq. It may have picked up a little with the elec waterpump and torco.
Well thats it, sorry its so long but I've been running 11.0x's for over a year now!

I feel like my kid just graduated college or something, I'm so proud. 
Looks like that water pump worked out, huh? Were you running no filter too? Did you run a belt?
That second run is more like it though. Who was really driving on that first and third pass?

LOL! Can't brind me down today fartsmeller!!!!!! I mean smartfeller.
I didnt remove the filter and do the panny hose mod, I didnt remove the belt and I didnt even bother trying to air down the tires and get the 1.50 60fts the car shouldve been cutting. Its cool just to think of what it would have done if I did those things!!!!!
Forgot to mention the reason I didnt run anymore was cause the check engine light came on, on the last pass when it hit the rev limiter at the trap. I didnt want to hurt the car if it went faster honestly. I wanted to have a good day and drive home. Plus a ford Lightning through its motor all over the track on my favorite lane at the top end too. Track was getting slippery anyways. Track prep was good for as cold of a day but could've been better IMO.

Thanks, the trap speed is about retarted IMO! I still can't figure that part out. If you would've asked me what the car would've trapped today i would've told you 127mph's.
Things different:
Electric waterpump
SLP 85mm MAF
Gapped plugs at .045 vs .055 was gapping at
Radial 165tires up front vs. bias plys that i think had more rolling resistance IMO
No passenger seat
Took belt oFF to the a/c compressor
No tools in the back at all nothing!
a little better shifting?
Great air
More spin on the launch upped MPH?

Very cool. Congrats!
I was planning on going down today to watch some runs, but my Honey-do list is too long, and with the holiday coming up I had to do the "right" thing...
