I see Prarie Hill is open tonight and the weather is perfect so gonna go see what this POS will do. Racing starts at 7PM and I have to pick up Sapperfire since his cars down so that I will have a camera man.

Hope all goes well and shes at least in the 13's
 
If you can't hit the 13's with that car then you are a complete failure at life. I'm guessing you have a traction limited 13.2-13.4 at 110-112. Hopefully it is faster than my guess.
 
Gotta remember, I am a fat ass and there is a full sound system as well as tools in the car. Plus the heavy wheels and all will reduce my times. I aint expecting much. If it ran as fast as Driller then I will be jumping for joy! :lol:
 
i cant wait for the video. that is one bad ass car. 13's or better or your fired

I hope you weigh the car at the track. Good luck. :)
 
Not makein fun butt wouldn't it be wise to take the speakers box / tools out maybe some other weight reduction maybe rear seats. Hey every weight counts. Just or got sap xtra and slap the two spares on the front.
 
YAY we got 13s!!!!! Hurry up and load the video biatch!!! I was so
impressed not by just the runs he made, but mostly the ammount of people walking by and stopping and asking questions about
it and complimenting it's looks. It was a great time, can't wait to have mine up and running again soon

the last pass of the night against an alcohol dragster, totally nuts ....and I totally couldn't believe that one of the 2 of you ran a 8.6 in that 1/4...lol

Driller--no weigh station there, they didn't even do tech inspections, its an outlaw track
 
Don't want to weight reduce the car as I want real numbers. I couldn't remove the tools or cooler cause I didn't have anywhere to leave them.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun tonight. Track was down for a bit due to a Camaro exploding and oiling down the track but other then that it was pretty cool. I got a big head with all the compliments the car got and the general surprise that it was as fast as it is. It didn't run as fast as I had hoped but it did run great and consistent. Launches were very hard as I had to launch at idle and roll on the throttle. Could only muster 2.1X 60' times with the best of 2.125 seconds. Car clicked off a couple 9.02 and 9.07 1/8th times at 78 MPH but my best 1/4 time was a 13.93 @ 98 MPH.
I believe with drag radials and a 1200-1300 RPM launch that I could see mid 13's.

I am uploading a video now and will post it soon.
 
Do you have the boost turned down low? Just wondering because my 94 ran 97.21 MPH bone dead stock, but probably in better conditions.
 
your et would have been better if they had room for you to drive around the water box.
 
The MPH and ET are consistent with the sixty foot times IMHO. You may actually have had higher trap speeds on runs with more tire spin.

I've always found it extremely difficult to roll into the throttle to maintain traction. It's easier to just buy tires. :p

Anywho, congrats on the 13s for the maiden outing! :D
 
Yes there were many factors here. No room to avoid the water, no way to launch higher then idle, no way to instantly go WOT. I only made two 1/4 mile runs and the rest was 1/8. The first run I had let out right before the timing boxes and on the last run I couldnt let the car cool enough cause the line was moving fast. I launched with a 172* IAT and by mid track I had a 230* IAT. That put me down on power by a large margin and I could feel 3rd gear not pulling like it could.

I really need to get a meth kit.

I am running a weight (with driver) thats about 400lbs greater then you were. And yes, boost peaked at 7.4psi.

Its funny you say that. I was never expecting the times you run with my setup but it would have been cool had it ran a low 13. :D

Anyway on that run in the first video I had quite a bit of spin off the line and again into second gear. Car pulled a 9.02 in the 1/8th but said trap speed was 90mph! :eek:
I assumed it was an error on the timing system........ actually it had to be. Cant see a 12mph gain in the 1/8th like that.
 
Picture tire spin like a slingshot. What you loose in ET can be turned into more MPH sometimes.
