Nice job bud! Keep up the good work.
Post the slip and I'll update it later today.
You have enough mph to run 12's there if you could actually get the car to grip really hard...but then the transaxle would probably be in pieces. :icon_redface:
^^ Thanks guys. The car is 5 speed, full interior. i didnt launch on any of the runs, just a smooth takeoff. Also i didnt burnout or heat the tires before. Maybe i can mess with a few things and go back up next week, possibly launch the car. Also looking at the quarter mile TGP page, It seems I have 2 of the fastest runs since 2006!
Page is updated. Looks like you've got the highest trap speed for a TGP so far(unless Jeff trapped higher on one of his old runs).
EDIT: Jeff still has you beat by a bit in trap @ 109.66mph
Thanks!
I just realized ho depressing it is that I have been knockedout of third place. I guess in need to step it up I have been lazy a little too long.
I'm not fimiliar with drag racing, so I may be totally wrong here, but doesn't a negative reaction time mean you jumped? Which would make your time invalid? I'm not trying to rain on anyones parade just curious. Still an awesome run regardless, gotta love that trap speed.

You're correct that the negative reaction time means he "jumped"(redlight), but it makes no difference in the ET itself unless you're actually competing in an event.
^^ yup, if you look at the bottom of the slip it says Autostart Enabled . Unfortunatley im not going to be able to make it this Wednesday night because of work... maybe Sat, really looking forward to blockin the rear up and tryin to get traction in 3rd!
OK, by no means was I trying to bash your time/run, I was just curious. So with the Autostart the clock starts ticking once you've "reacted" then?
exactly
Thats Cool! I learned something new.
Ike,
Send me a datalog and your extra chip. I see low 13's or even high 12's with your set up.
You the man!! ;)
Nice! I recently got my project at the strip (#242) ... kinda changed a few things like for example, the 3.1 to a 3500 and the 3t40 to a 4 speed and then upped my boost a couple psi... But as you might noticed, something went totally wrong the the second run (which is the slip on top) and created a rotating mess through the pan.

But I THINK I will be able to reretry at it this week since I managed to swap in another motor.... Only suck part is I will lose my port matched heads/intake for the event (no time to swap that intake and heads are trashed) .
That was making good power before it let go. This is in a J-body, right?
Nah it's a "L"ame body.
Went back to the track. Couldn't get a clean run even if it meant saving my own life. So I ran a 106 mph chugging along to a 14.1. I was really bummed, but nothing broke and I was on 4 less pounds of boost this time than when I ran my 115.84mph time, and I was on a oil spilled track due to some ricer that was bracket racing with a 19 second honda DX. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to strangle that kid with some 1/2" dia heater hose.
