HRP (baytown) Track Night FRIDAY 24th

hey guys, im thinking of heading out to baytown HRP for some fun and to test out my new setup at the track. Seeing if anyone else would be down to go... if so head on out! i wouldnt mind seeing more Evos or even STis... especially since everytime i go it seems mostly domestics out there

i checked the schedule and Friday Safe Street Night is open this friday the 24th. Hopefully this good weather will continue... not like this B.S. past wknd! (Sunday is closed for some wknd event btw)

-Tom

Alright, I will come out of the shadows for this.

I need to get a legit time. I should go most likely for the reason you want to.

Chris street tuned my car back in March, and I need to get one clean run to

back up the DLL. Since he tuned it, I have been putting together some stats

that show his work. So far, I have ran the eighth, put it on a Dyno Dynamics

and barring anything extraordinary, Friday @ Baytown...

Double Post, what an auspicious beginning.

With your numbers, you should break into the elevens. 60 ft will be key.
The eighth worked good with my stock 9 gears, not so sure about the quarter.
8000 rpm limit + original gearing = shift to 5th @ 1050 ft. We will see what the traps say. I did trap 103 in the eighth, but fourth to fifth sucks. Oh well, something else to modify.

Well, im dynoing at the same mustang dyno(turbochargers) on friday to verify my DLL #s from Mellon. Then to the track to at least see what the traps say. I had my 5 spd built by Shep... but i was an idiot and kept the IX ratios. So im concerned about shifting into 5th gear. My limiter is at 8000rpm since im on a stock motor and valvetrain. Besides the cams i got don't make much power after that anyways. I hope i can break 11s... and i hope my trap doesnt suffer too much from the change to 5th gear. (i had 4th revved out like crazy when i was just running low 12s) See ya there if you go man...

ahh bummer, can't wait to see some results. That's almost exactly the whp I saw in dll when I went 11.7 @ 117 IIRC. I was running 26psi with more timing though, that was high for a green back in the day heh.
