ok i went to the track today with temps 95+ with minimal ran an 8.58@ 83.52mph.... im managing a 1.811 60ft i believe where im losing time is my 2nd gear shift some reason i cant seem to nail it... anyway the mods list is Turbo XS mbc, Base Dyno Flash, Bushur Muffler Delete and a K&N cone filter... I believe the car feels faster with the stock box and the K&N Drop in. I'll be going back to it soon...

 

Are you running race gas or pump gas?

I've ran a 8.1 at 84 mph with a 1.81 60 ft. You need to switch gears better.

 

yeah i think it has an 8.1 in it if i could nail my 2nd gear shift. and btw im running pump gas no race gas in my car

 

The time isn't good, but the mph isn't bad for the mods. For reference, my very first run on my MR, which was completely stock, I got an 8.4 @ 80mph on a 1.92 60'. I was slower than you, but nailed the shifts better even with a slower 60' (5k launch limiter). After the S-AFC, I was doing 8.1 @ 84, which matches your mph, but almost have a second faster. You can get 8.1 or 8.2 with some 1.7x 60' on that mph and do better at both with 30 less degrees temp in the fall months.

 

i think the temp had a whole lot to do with it not to mention this is my 3rd trip ever to a drag strip so..... im happy enough to be nailin 1.8 60's but im sure its my 2nd gear shift thats holding me up alot im alot faster from 2nd to 3rd.... dunno it think its some sorta metal block lol.....

 

1/8th mile?

 

Yes that is 1/8 mile times. Its not possible to run mid 8's in the 1/4 by only going 83 mph.

 

1/8th mile sucks

 

sure it is, jsut gotta hit the breaks hard at the end

i ran an 8.8@ 40mph through the 1/8th earlier.

 

This is true, but that is all I have to work with without driving for hours on hours to get 1/4 miles times.

 

You know what I meant. 40 mph huh? Might wanna get that checked out.

 

1/8 mile is more of a drivers race than the 1/4.

90% of the race happens in the first 1/8 mile, the rest of the time you are are jsut roll racing which is for pussies.

 

yeah, I've seen an 11.7@88, and the car probably had like a 1.3 60' (it's the white car on the right...) :
