Calling all 10.xx Et Cars

[jspeed]

What kind of 60' times are you running?
Do you foot brake the car or leave on a transbrake?
What is your ET and mile per hour?

[brothern2o]

10.80's at 130, 1.68 sixty, powerglide with brake, 3800 stall, supposed to be nitrous car

[jspeed]

Thanks for the reply.
I just ran my car for the first time this season and wanted to compare my 60' times with other racers in the 10's.

My car ran a 10.58 @ 129.9 mph with a 1.57 60'- on motor.

Still working on the combination. I can't wait to get to the track this weekend!

7 years ago:

10.28@129.80

NOS bullet with only 125# of cranking compression-times were ran on N/A

[Gray86hatch]

10.38 @ 128.60 1.40 60' foot on radials

Thanks for the replies guys. It looks like my mile per hour is there and I should shoot for high 1.40 sixty foot times.

I run a foot brake car with a Dynamic C4. On my best pass (ET & 60') I launched around 1900 RPM. If I can get to the track this weekend (looks like rain is rolling in) I'll try stepping my launch rpm up to 2200.

Wow thats moving out!
Is this a nitrous car or naturally aspirated?

[MaineStreetKing]

It's a 408 with a YS Vortech on it. It was tuned for 18psi with a cog setup, but that run was a 12-ish psi 8 rib.

Depending on the weight of the car, converter, tires, etc. 129MPH should be low 10's high 9's around mid 1.3's 60' times.

Thanks for your input.
I'll keep working on the combination.
I haven't played with ignition timing, jetting, or cam timing yet.

My car weight 2975 lbs with me in it and runs 26x10.5" ET Drag Slicks.
Converter is a bit tight- The motor was built to be sprayed.

Looking forward to the next race!

Being stuck behind this desk today sucks!
I wanna work on my car man!

[jspeed]

Looks like rain this weekend in the northeast, so no testing till
next week.

I'm looking forward to competing in the Open Comp Class at Maple Grove.

See you guys there.

12 minutes to the track?

You lucky jerk, I'm 2- 2 1/2 hours away (depending on the tow vehicle:cool: ).

I brought my car to the track 4 times last year and it rained each time.

So far I have been lucky in "06" the car actually made it down the track!

[Pony408]

1.373 60ft.
10.577 1/4 mile time
125.35 speed

Obviously I have some work to do, a 1.37 60 ft, should give me a much better overall et. The last 1/8 mile, the car was not pulling as hard as the first 1/8 mile.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner- my computer crapped out.
I've been up to New England Dragway with some of my friends cars but not with mine yet.

Do you live in NH or the Northeast?

[jspeed]

Anyone else going to Lebanon Valley this Saturday for the Mustang Race?

This will be my 2nd time out with the car- I'd like to see the car go 10.40's with a high 1.4X 60' time on motor.

I'll let you guys know how I make out on Monday.

[darkhorse254]

Very nice short time.....off the trailer.... BIG torque. What kind of weight? I say you have alot left there on the et to be had......But nice job.;) Was it running out of fuel on the top end?

[feetfirst]

87 hatch, 383windsor pump gas, c4 - 4500 stall, 3250lbs,
4.10s with 28s, just getting it dialed in the last 2 weekends.
Best 60 ft so far is 1.42, megabite lowers, anti rollbar.
Best et is 10.28, best mph is 132.1

[jspeed]

Well we made it up to Lebanon on Sat. but got rained out, for the second Sat. in a row.

I knew we should of headed down to Maple Grove- Live & Learn.

Well, I have to work the next three weekends in a row.
With any luck, I'll get out to a test & tune on a Wed or Friday night.

But, money is tight! Spending $120 round trip in Diesel fuel not to race sucks!
