9.143@ 79.937
motor was still green, and im shifting it a bit early based on the experimentation i did with shift points on the way home
we'll see what it does tommorow at commerce :) hopefully it wont be as squirrley on the 1-2 shift as it was at greer....

does this mean a fresh rebuild, and ur running it on the strip with no breakin time? nice time btw, i'll be glad when i can get mine over there, but that wont happen til at least May when i get some vacation time.
awesome. with my timing around 0 degrees and 32 psi in my tires i ran an 8.43 last night at greer. i launched and had to let off around the 60-ft because i didnt just want to light the tires up on the 1-2 shift.
preludedude 03-05-2004, 10:28 AM sweet...just put the bottle on it...it always seems to help..;)...my best is a 10.45@69...:)....thats hella fast

Cosby 03-05-2004, 10:51 AM I say we all have another race but this time we put money in. Owner of the car gets 1/3, winner gets 2/3.

well, i had about 500 miles on it... so not like fresh outta the box no miles, but its definatley not "loosened" up yet

im running an extremly similar combo (minus the intake manifold) to a friend of mine that is going mid 7s at 88ish all motor :)
yeah i had just got the engine back together by 7pm and didnt have time to throw the hood and everything in. didnt even check my timing just threw it in pretty retarded to make sure there was no spark knock. im pretty confident it will go easy 7s with no traction this sunday.
Stegall 03-05-2004, 02:13 PM Cody you break your car more then u drive it man
Cosby 03-05-2004, 05:15 PM I got REALLY sideways at SS one time. For some reason it spins terribly there.
Unsupa 03-05-2004, 05:29 PM yea, i get no traction there either... then again my tires aren't really designed for it..
shady side is well known for its poor traction. i heard farmington is one of the best hooking tracks around but im not even sure where that is.
preludedude 03-06-2004, 12:18 AM i have no problem hooking at SS...;)...hell, i have problems spinning...d-a-m-n auto 4cylinders...right lane sucks at SS...but they did re-concrete it, so it may be better..ima go one day..

HTM Impreza WRX 03-06-2004, 01:04 AM i have no problems w/ traction :wavey:
Cosby 03-06-2004, 01:31 AM Im gonna need slicks when I go back....
Texas89LX 03-06-2004, 03:29 AM latest times from commerce
here was my best run:
.612 light
2.169 60'
5.932 330'
9.019 @ 80.67
11.638 1000'
13.863 @ 101.65
traction was better there than at Greer, i could shift as hard as i could and not have to pedal like i was with granny shifts at greer
preludedude 03-06-2004, 11:31 AM Im gonna need slicks when I go back....
