New best from today

[murphster]

I am car # 124. I had to let out on the second pass after someone left some oil on the track and it got out of shape big time. Would have been an even better pass for sure.

Pump gas and alky.

Great run and outstanding 60'. Glad you survived the oil gremlin.

 

[Street Lethal]

Same ET with 20-mph less trap speed on the second, how much boost each run...?

 

[murphster]

24psi on the first run, 25psi on the second run. I'm thinking it would have been a 9.2 on the second pass at about 143-144 mph.

Dammmmmm!!!!!

CONGRATS!!!! Ur flying!!!!!!

Awesome runs there, that had to bring an unremoveable smile to your face to run that well and beat your personal best. You were getting it done, well done sir.

Seeing a pattern here, a couple people posted on the forum this weekend that were only pushing 24-26 psi ripping off wicked fast times. Obviously they have them dialed in.

Thanks everyone. I've been working towards this for a while so its nice to see some great results. And there's still room to turn it up!

And I've wanted some great 60fts for a long time and changed a lot of stuff to get there. Now I'm wondering if I can get a 1.2x 60ft out of it. I'll have to post up the setup sometime.

Its not as light as you think....... its lighter!

It weighed 3205. (For comparison sake, I'm figuring at 3550 in TAI trim et would be reduced around .35, putting me at mid 9.7s for the first pass. The second pass would have been in the 9.6s at that weight.)

 

[Mr.Spool]

that's a killer slip!hard work pays off!

 

[jdsgnx]

Hats off to you u got that car MOVIN!!!!

Someday hope to make it to a race so we can line'm up

I'm always ready for a good race as long as I DONT RED LITE!!!

What all have you changed on your combo?? I thought you had your combo listed at 1 time and now its been taken down.

 

[pacecarta]

the motor trans combo hasnt changed , just the 8.5 rear was upgraded for durability and the suspension changed around a few times .
his last track outing was mid high 90s and track just wasnt there so he had to take it easy but still manage some 9 second runs to get his NHRa license

its still 109 234 (o20) , 2 center mains , 71hpq , 3 bolt , th400, xfi , Gn1 8 bolt

 

[Sydwyndr]

Weight?

 

[pacecarta]

Weight?

see post #13 ..

 

[murphster]

I think every single piece of the suspension was changed/upgraded (thanks Paul!). As far as the engine combo, I did upgrade the valvespring setup last winter (thanks Bison!). And the rear is definitely beefier and with Strange discs (thanks James!). And I got a new alky pump just recently. I got some new fancy stuff waiting to be put on too lol.
