5.282 - 330
8.237 - 1/8
10.785 - 1000 et
12.929 - 1/4 et (89 octane)
105.39 - 1/4 mph
It was my first time out with my battery mounted in the trunk, with 8psi in the slicks launched at 4500 and i heard a bang under the car, turned out to be my driveshaft hitting the safety loop, my motor mounts are shot. along with my upper control arms as it turns out. I short shifted 1st hopeing i didnt break something, but stayed in it hard so i could outrun the honda rice next to me, That wasnt too hard only run i did.
All i can say is, humidity was so bad last night here, felt like I was in florida.

Hey 82 gt, If you had a 5spd, i bet your car would trap 107 easy, those auto's can kill mph as we all know.....later

How is it that we run almost identical numbers and you still run a higher mph? Your engine must pull harder than mine after the 1/8..
What rpm are you at through the traps? I'm at 6K, which is about where my cam is finished at. Could that be why I'm running out of "steam"?

Yep! I sent you an email on those cam specs, the one I have is almost identical to the one COMP is telling you to get. In fact, the one I have IS a COMP.

What are you shifting at? Try running it out in first a bit longer (if you can) that'll get ya down the track a bit further, and you have the gears/converter to help you out. That way, you'll be further ahead (literally, in feet) when you shift into 3rd, and it might put you back into your cam's power range at the 1320. Make sense?
