Suggestions on lowering my E.T.

skiwesser · 06-13-2004, 12:47 AM

Lastnight I went to the local 1/8 mi. strip
Car ran good, smoked a 97 Z28 twice!!
scared me a little at first as I'm a newbie & he did a mean burnout(in the water on drag radials, that ain't right is it) anyway I went around the water, cleaned off my McCreary 265/60/15 drag radials(they're really dirt track tires but are soft & have a 000 tread rating,are these good enough?)
So the lights came down & I handed him his Bowtie with his a** wrapped in it!!!!

It was awesome!!After the 2nd whoppin' I went and talked to him but he did'nt have much to say! Somthing about only having a cam, "I don't even have that" I said "but I do got your daddy!!".
Okay sorry I'm just exited
My best run was
60' 2.03
E.T. 9.07 @ 76.95

It was hot and humid and some guys said everybody was off, but I ran 8.89 @ 78.38 with a 1.98 60' before 1.7 RR's and head and intake work??? I blame the heat??
I was running 15 psi in tires and I don't think the spun any, agian this was like my 9th run ever so i couldn't be sure, what tire pressure would you guys suggest?

Fuel pressure was at 36psi base timing 16*
Sorry so long thanks for input

Best way to improve ET's is by reducing your 60ft time.

REMOVE ANY WEIGHT SUCH AS PASSENGER SEAT ,REAR SEAT AND ANYTHING IN TRUNK, FRONT SWAY BAR, MOVE BATTERY TO TRUNK, THAT HAS GOT MINE TO A 1.85 60'.
