track results are promising!

Well...I played with the timing and made some good progress in the cooler air last night.

For the first time ever, I recorded back to back 12.56's. my best mph was 107.9. That's 4 MPH improvement, and a consistent mid-12 second street car. Not bad for shifting at 6100 RPM's. I also noticed that my tires are breaking lose badly, and my 1.6 ft time that I recorded on Sat during the heat are now 1.8's. So, if I can somehow hook up (maybe the 3 year old BFG's are due to be replaced), and get back to my 1.6 60 ft time, I can assume that I'll be in the 12.2-12.3 range. That's not bad for a car weighing 3400 lbs. with me in it. I'm sure if I wanted to wind her up higher, I could get more, but at this point I'm happy. Plus, if I put the car on a diet, than maybe I could dip closer to the 11's. But for now, I'm satisfied.

Thanks guys for the help!

Do you think I'd gain something if I used my t-brake? I guess I'd need to get new rubber first.

if your all over the track, the t-brake won't help yea.. try taking some pressure out of tires, and heat them up good. if that doesn't work then get some new sticky slicks..
