Working on getting the car to ET how's my trap speed?
 
Well finally got a break from the rain and went to Grudge Night @ Sac Raceway.

Too bad it was quite chilly by the time we started at 6pm.

Temps dropped to the 50's i think by 8pm :( Not to mention before the event i went out on the track and took a good look at the start line and first 100ft or so and not much VHT out like previous track days where my shoes would almost come off :D

Car is still on stock wheels and Advans w/ 22psi front & 26psi rear.

First run when the temps were still in the 60's was the best 60 ft 1.7 11.3 @ 128 with some break up in 4th gear (fouled pugs from driving around on pump)

By the time i got my 2nd and 3rd runs it was quite cold and car wouldn't hook at all while sitting on the 2 step set at 5400 :(

Both those runs went 2.0 60ft 11.4 @ 131mph. :mad:

These were all done w/ 30psi on ERC 118 leaded.

Wish i had time to adjust the 2 step some so we'll wait for a TNT to figure that out.....but i want to put some DR's on to eliminate the track condition variables some-what.

How's that trap speed look to you guys........i still need a bit more seat time being my 2nd time on the strip with it :(

I'll have the slips up later today and possibly a vid.

Looks good but i could see 135-136mph with that power

Somethings off. Even if that mustang reads like a dynojet you should be at 134-135 mph.

Wow, with that speed you should be in the mid 10's. Very nice power.

cars making some nice power...10s are around the corner...

Unfortunately i never got a real clean pass that night.

I'm confident that once i do and am able to get through each gear properly the mid to hi 130's we go :D

It looks like we get a good shot this Fri for a real T-N-T to work things out.

I have been tempted to go out on one of those TNT nights....but $50 is gonna hurt my pocket for just drag racing:lol: Call me a cheapo
I work night shifts so Wed night fun drag for $15 is out of the question.....

Either way Pat there's alot more in it, wish you the best of luck.
