drag racing ?.....(Time slip questions)

[mfewtrail]

Just wondering what you guys that have ran your cars are/were doing in the 1/8th mile, if you ran the 1/4, please post all incremental et's/mph, etc.. from your timeslip. Just wondering how they stack up at every point.
And, have any of you guys been to the track lately? It's almost too warm to be going to the track here in the South....has been around 80*+ at the night races, I usually go to spectate, I'm fixing to invest in a video camera so I can start recording races at the strip and then make some long vids :wink:

R/T .584

60 Foot: 2.201

1/8 mile : 9.344

1/4 Mile:  14.8 at 86.86 MPH

My charge pipe blew off at about 86-87 mph and i had to coast the rest of the way, i think i could have ran like a 14.5 if it stayed on but thats my best time for now.

here's mine  8)



That was with a Jeff M. x-over, TopGun160, K&N, and crappy Pepboys Futura GTX tires.  I have a manual fan switch to keep temps in check in the staging lines.  Otherwise, everything else is stock and that was with about 118,000 miles on the clock.  


mclaren18psi, how is that CO2 cooler working out for ya?  I'm getting rid of my A/C on one of my TGPs and I was thinking that a CO2 setup would fit nice between the front fan and the intercooler.

thanks, but I already seen that slip post whore(j/k!!)...I recommend building your own setup out of copper tubing w/ lots of small holes drilled in it(use a small pipe bending/flaring kit...I have one here and was building a sprayer for one of my cars but decided upon parting the motor/tranny/interior out...gonna throw another motor in the gutted car and drive it during the summer/fall and drag race it..has no heat and no ac...might wire up a cig lighter, get an adapter and get a small heater to put in there so I could drive it in the colder months if I wanted to :shock:

EDIT: a homeade IC sprayer will do the job fine and be a hell of a lot cheaper than the kit NOS or Zex makes(whichever I've seen them made for)...I was going to use a manual turn valve that was lined into the car past where the bottle would have been mounted, just turn the valve and it sprays..could easily wire up a electric switch and solenoid for one though...some guy on the net makes the kits for $150, I'll find you a link later, although you can still beat that price by building your own.

Yeah, I figured I'd make my own out of some copper tubing and a couple of nitrous solenoids.  I work at a machine shop so fabrication is no big deal.  I would actually rather do things myself as I love to know how things work.  I have a lot of plans for that car, and the CO2 sprayer is just the tip of the iceberg.  I want a frontmount, but I want a stealthy car...so I figure I'd keep the stock IC and go with a CO2 sprayer  :twisted:
