I concur. 88mph 1/8 is a low 12 sec capable car.

I'm gonna hook a wide band up on my car Friday and see what my A/F's are.

I just think my car should be trapping more than 84 mph.

I finally got my car on a wideband the other day. In 3rd gear it was sitting at 11.2 to 11.4 or so. I'm guessing maybe my car will just pick up some speed on the back in of the track. Now that it's hotter I don't think I'll be running it, but I may be wrong. If I can get to a 1/4 track anytime soon I'll probably run it.

You guys think the a/f's are okay?

Your car is makin good power and the AF/R are fine. You can get a low 12 out of it if u get a good 60 ft.

Yeah....ecspecially since I bought it for $500.

IE Evo....I'm gonna work on the 60's. That was my first outing with that clutch and I also had my 18's on as well so I'm sure I can get low 1.7's or high 1.6's on this clutch with no problem.

Fwiw my 12.2 -12.4 days were with 85 mph 1/8s. I did trap higher on occasion 87 mph-88 mph but my better runs were with lower 1/8 mph.

Is that on race or pump gas? I assume you run race gas or some kind of mix? Seems everyone in here runs race gas and doesn't mentions that sometimes. Kinda of misleading for people who runs purely pump gas.
