new best, gettin closer to da 10's

fiveohpatrol · 10-02-2005, 10:37 PM

This thing keeps suprising me and making me break out at the races! Each race I've been to (joliet, c-bus, BG) the car went its fastest ET's ever during eliminations and I broke out. This weekend the car went 11.27@121.6 in testing, which was my best. I then qualified with a 11.31@121.3, which gives me a "dial-in" of 11.21. I didn't think it had that in it in the heat, but I guess it did. First round of eliminations I had a .027 RT and was a decent amount a head of the guy that was trying to catch me, so I let off the gas about 100-150ft early and STILL broke out with a 11.18. The 1/8mi was 7.12@96.4 on that pass. I was upset i lost so early, but its atleast nice it went the best ET ever, again.

I picked up some metco lowers, so I will hopefully lower my 1.49 60ft a bit more, and when I get some good 50-60degree temps I'm gonna go all out and try for my 10sec NA slip.

Just thought I'd share

Factory T-5??? Are you serious?

yup, 3.35 first gear one at that (WAY too much with my 4.30's and 26" slicks). It's a 140k mile tranny that I rebuilt last summer with new 2nd and 3rd gears sliders, blocking rings, etc.

Next year I'll have a faceplated or pro-shifted TKO in there and really shift the thing. This one doesn't like going into gear at 6900 rpm, but I make it

My proshifted TKO shifts like BUTTAH at 7,500. You're gonna LOVE that thing!
