It was race day, the only 1/4 mile class is 12.0 or slower, so I planned on getting 2 time runs and going out first round with a 12.0 dial in.
1st 10 cars get a free pass so i figured to take advanage. Though i'd slip it from around 6k and see what it does, it didn't do that great, 1.78 60' and then i missed friggin 4th, first ever missed shift, 12.02
2nd pass, stayed at 18psi on the tires, put it on the 2 step at 5200, 1.67 60' and got a 11.79@118. I only had 10 minutes of cool down, so the car was hot.
3rd pass (bout an hour later), thought i'd try 5500 since there had been a lot of fast cars down the track, blew the tires off and hit the limiter a couple times in 1st, 11.90 @ 120.36 with a 1.85 60'.
1st round, took it back down to 5250, figured that was safe to launch at. Took the tires to 16.5 as well. Came off the 2 step and lit em up again, I caught 2nd quick though, and ended up with an 11.75 @ 121 with a 1.79.
All in all I was happy with the last pass. Lets me know the mph is there and that the car has at least 3-4 tenths with a halfway decent 60'. Probably more if I can drive it there in good air.
I outta just go full slicks and say f'it, but i like driving and leaving.
I did order some koni's, hopefully that will help a bit with the weight transfer and i'm gonna yank the sway bar as well.
My gt500 would pull a 1.49 with basically the same setup except tokico's albeit with about 520 rwhp, vs the prob 450-470 i have now
