Soooooo Close!

Put some drag tires and wheels on that beast and quit jacking with those 20's!!

Cuz race car!!!!!!:nk:

Yeah, but who all can say their car will run 9's on 20's? Not many:)

Very true. We all know it will on slicks.

^^For sure!


Getting closer!!!

More 20 mph head winds today 78 deg and a little humid.

Plug Gap

When I arrived at the track today I though to myself that I should change my plugs since I was trying for a new PB. Well I did, with some new plugs I had gaped to .030. I am tuned and normally run a .032 gap.

Just in case anyone thinks plug gap doesn't make a difference!

Also notice the time difference and the result from the motor being cooler from the time it sat while I changed the plugs.

.030 New plugs

.032 Old plugs back in.

EDIT!!!!! I feel I need to correct my self here. I actually gaped the wrong plugs from the garage. The plugs in the slower runs where not gaped at .030 but rather at fac settings which as best I can tell was at .035+. That would make a lot more sense as to why the car slowed after the install. Just an FYI as I don't want the bad info here. Sorry for the bad info.

Awesome results....you are so close. Your reaction time is getting better. I give you two more weeks and you will be there.

Keep it up! You give me hope when I get my car on the track!

You'll definitely get 9's!:thumb2:

A post on FB tonight reminded me of something. I remember when I started my build thread I had mentioned to Don W that I wanted to 9.9x on my 20" drs and everyone was like, " Okay, good luck with that", and my mind was made up. The members here have brought this madness to my plate and I will deliver! LOL

Make that eight hundreths. You will be pissed if you only get 7 hundredths better, 10.004. Awesome runs. I am sure you will hit your goal soon. Then we can see what it does with some 15's.

Your right, just like I was today at .074 away. LOL

Oh well, if that is the only thing that made me mad today, life is good!
