Finally launched the car...

I went to track again, did minimal tuning but decided to launch the car this time. I really need to work on the tune but maybe I will get a chance tomarrow. It was knocking in 4th a good amount and any count above a 2 count pulls 7 degrees of timing for every 1 count. So a 4 count pulls 14 degrees. I do this as an additional failsafe for the methanol. These runs were on 50% meth. The last two passes I was getting crazy wheel spin and couldn't get traction. I will try and go back tomarrow, tune the car some more, lower the tire pressure as it was at 35f 37r. I may go get tuned professionally one of these days as I really want to hit 11s but this knocking here and there is killing me.

1. 1.726 88.76 12.169 114.32
2. 1.764 88.95 12.164 114.98
3. 1.878 89.32 12.229 115.42
4. 1.819 88.86 12.219 115.08

Good MPH. Especially the gain from the 1/8 mil to 1/4

Put 90% methanol or more in there. water has more potential but you need NASA resourses and PhD's to reap its benifits.

Seriously, have you run stronger methanol yet?

Yeah I think you can hit 11s without much problem with a better launch!

what rpm are you shifting at? and are you using the no-lift shift?

first and second to 7700 and third at 7600 and no lift shift from first to fourth...I was looking at time slip more and my 330 is 5.0ish when it should be more like 4.9ish and my 1000' is 10.2ish when it should be more like 9.9-10.0...I am not sure why its like that, maybe its my shifting but I feel I am doing a pretty decent job of shifting at this point...

Were all four runs NLST?

115mph traps should be quicker, must be the shifting

115 was from excessive spinning off the line though, I was having trouble with traction. All passes were NLST.
