went to the track last night and got one good run but my freeze plug popped out in fourth gear and i let off. i was pretty close to the traps when it happened. It should have been a 12 second run but the racing gods didnt want me out of the 13's.

here is my run

.004
1.869
5.314
8.12 sec
86.01 MPH
13.09 sec
106.8 MPH

it is still my personal best so that is cool. if the plug wouldnt have popped out i think it would have been somewhere in the mid to high 12's @108 or so.

 

nice... are you stock?

 

no. i have a works reflash, exhaust, drop in filter, and hallman MBC.

 

Very similar to my last run at the track, was this running the stock rev limiter, if it is try disconnecting it and your time will surely improve

 

It was with a 6K limiter.

 

What the hell is a freeze plug?

 

All i know is that it is a plug that is on the water pump. there are a few more on the block as well. to be honest i dont know what they are for.

 

Those plugs are there in case in your engine coolant ever freezes. They pop out in an effort to save the engine from damage when the water expands when it becomes ice.

 

cool! i did not know that.

 

you would have definetely be in the 12s (12.7-12.8) with that 1/8 time. Nice run!

 

Thanks man. now i got to get this SOB fixed.

 

nice run.
