1/8th Mile Track Test n Tune
Posted: April 29th, 2006, 2:18 am
Well we took the car to a track finally and am not really dissapointed at my time due to the high trap speeds for the give ET's.
1/8th Mile @ Eastside Speedway (Waynesboro, VA)
1st Run...White smoke pooring out from the front end spinning all the way down the track. I launched at 3000RPMs on 245/50-R16 Falken 512's.
Reaction =0.4757sec
60ft = 2.7697sec
1/8 ET = 9.9428sec
1/8 Trap = 80.105MPH (Timmy's car w/ 16G was runing 9.1's @ 81MPH)
2nd Run...Nose n nose with a 5.0 past the 60ft. (He had very wide street tires on the rear). Then as I started pulling away and shifted to 2nd gear I had no gas pedal...the flippin cable pulled off the throttle bracket so I drifted to a 14.4sec pass...I'd a stomped him a new one and he went 9.0sec!!! I didn't get my time slip for that pass because I was doing repairs at the end of the track when they cut the lights off n shutdown the track for the night...I was PISSED! My 60ft should have been around 1.8! The overall ET should have been low 8's....possible high 7's (we let out 10psi of air pressure from tires that run also).
These times were on a STOCK B6T bottom end w/ a open diff. Pro-LX Trans. and 24-26psi of boost. I also had a spare set of axles, tools, n floor jack in the car when I pulled those times
This weekend were looking to put in the race motor (forged internals w/ all ARP fasteners, n Cometic Head Gasket) along with the LSD and axles. That motor w/ 30-35psi, n slicks should pull high 6's in the 1/8th and low 10's in the 1/4mile![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
