Finally a track with 60' time

[terry5357]

Not that I'm too proud of it. I will get my wife to scan the time slips but basically here is the out come.
best pass is as follows:
temp was about 73 degrees @ 465.0 above sea level

R/T=.581
60'= 2.057
330' = 5.6518
1/8 = 8.6519 @ 81.71

I don't know what the 60' time for my car with the bolt ons and the gear so if someone could clue me in I would appreciate it

Ha ha, thats better then my time the last time I went to the track. Of course the last trip to the track was pre S/C too.

Dude, Leave at higher RPM's

When I first started with this car, I was pulling 2.1 60' times with me being lucky if I hit 8.8 in the 1/8. I'm still on stock tires (most of the time) and I'm pulling low 1.9's regularly and 1.8's every 3rd or 4th run (mid to high 1.7's on DR's)

With your setup and after some practice runs, you can get your times down to high 8.4's low 8.5's just getting you hole-shot down. You might want to look into line-locks as a cheap alt to a trans-brake for the short-term.

The question is, while you are standing on the brake, how many rpms can you get to before you start pushing the front tires?

I can get to about 2500 maybe, I mean maybe 3000. I will try that the next time I go...........thanks
