i went yesterday to the 1/8 mile and it went like this
1st run
rt-0.063
60-1.782
et-7.707
mph-90.0

2nd run
rt-0.447
60-1.861
et-7.771
mph-90.0

3rd run(i red light on this one)
RT- -0.037
60- 1.810
et- 7.739
mph- 90.0

last run and best et
RT- 0.631
60- 1.299
et- 7.197
mph- 90.1

as you can see i was running 7.7x at 90.0 mph then droped to 7.197 at 90.1 mph what the hell.by the way the 7.7 runs i was spinning at least the first 60 foot mark.the 7.197 run i actually hooked.

On the 7.197 run your 60' time was 1.299. That will really help your et's.

I think there was a problem with the track timing. I can't see you doing a 1.29 60' time on FRPP lowering springs. Have you ever ran a 60' close to that before?

What were your 60' times before the CJ springs? I just find it highly unlikely that you had a 1.29 60' time, considering there is only 1 car in our 1/4 mile list that ran a 1.29 60' time and he has an 8 second car.

dont get me wrong i thought the same thing as you last night when i got the ticket.as soon as i got my slip i went to the booth and told them they gave me the wrong slip and it was confirm that that was mine since no one else ran after me and the people before me were to hondas.then i went to the guy i ran and ask him if he had the correct time and he told me he had been running the same times all night at the same ets,he too told me his times were correct and consistent with that run.i did a little more research and at 11.30pm last night the temperature droped in the 70s.
after looking over my dyno the only thing i can come too is that on the dyno i was at 450 rwtq at 3250 rpms in 96 degree weather.since i spray it of the hole maybe the torque came in a little early add the fact that it hooked and gave me those 60s.

i deep staged the car but it dosent matter to me anymore.like i said unless i can duplicate it or get really close to it again last night i ran 7.707 at 90.0 mph.
it does make more sence if you said the timer was off by 0.5.that would had giving me a 60 of 1.799 and an et of 7.697.

i tought about that too.plus there are cars here with double the horsepower that i have and there 60ft is 1.3,1.4.
the timer was off for sure.i need to get this car to a real track to see what it really got.the only time i hook and they dont even give me the correct time.

1.299 60' NO. Either smoke from a burnout or leaf or a piece of trash blew through the 60' timer before you got there. It's happened before, and it will happen again. The system isn't perfect, shit happens.

i dont think the 7.1 run was accurate either im not stressing that.either way i went home with a new personal best of 7.707 with no traction through the first 60 feet or so.im trying to brake into the 7.6 times but both times i went out to the track with the new bbr tune i cant get traction.
