My 1/8th vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOgmQkxops8

I ran:

Reaction- .5829
60 ft- 1.96
330 ft- 5.22
1/8 et- 8.09
1/8 mph- 90.18 mph

Im not sure if this is good, but this was my second(and best) run ever. I wasnt going as fast as I could have because I was using 50/50 h2o/alky. I am tuned for 100% denatured. I will go back soon and put down better #s now that Im running 100% again!!!

Why did you not run with 100% alky? That is very unwise, dangerous, and foolish. Never, and I mean NEVER run a mixture other than what you're tuned for...

Anyway, 90mph shows the car is fast. 8.09 is very poor for that mph, but it's only your 2nd time, so once you learn to launch and shift, you will see much better times. Your biggest gains will come from learning to drive, not from fixing your alky mixture.

I ran 7.80's @ 87mph and I only make 300whp if that tells you anything and that was only my second time with the evo at the drag strip. Read some of peoples advice on here for launching then practice it.

nice mph but its likely from the super lean conditions you were running, you can't change your mixture once your tuned...not good...
