New PB at e-town today 12.58

Hellz yeah man, doin work! What was your mph on the 12.57 pass?

Funny with the mph thing. My car used to trap a consistent 107-108 the way it sits even to this day. I let it sit for about 4 months untouched and never started and went back out to the track eventually and it was trapping 102-103 on a very cold night with mediocre traction. Even to this day i'm not sure where my mph went? I changed teh fuel filter, reloaded different tunes, ect but never got any better. I've gone 106 mph one time since. I guess sometimes there is little to no explanation...

I'm tellin ya...I'm thinking about grabbing another set of 26' dr's just so I can bust your record...lol j/k

Nice shifting! That's a great ET given the mods.

Trapped 106.78 on the 12.57 run... confused! lol is my trap getting lower just because I am getting to the end quicker?

Somethings weird here. I have fresh plugs in, new air filter, new fuel filter too... I have 71k on the car, I wonder if coil packs get "tired" ?

Still running stock springs and control arms?

The better you hook, and 60 foot, your MPH will slow down a hair. When you spin on the launch you get more of a slingshot effect, when the tires finally bite. I'll trap 112 with some spin, and 110 with bite.

Nah, bullitt springs w koni str-t's and billet LCA's.
Yea I figured getting there quicker is bringing down my MPH but the ET is all I care about.
I want to see if I can launch higher with a bit more wheelspin. next year though! lol
