1st outing with KB 2.6 20PSI

[03cobramanIII]

60 ft ........1.532> borrowed my buddies front and rear rims of his 04 cobra
330ft........4.390
1/8 mile ....6.694/107.99
1000ft......8.682
1/4 mile....10.36/134.91, MD#S 641/557 tune 104 gas tune.hats off to rick!

i guess im happy, i didnt heat the tires up enough ? ,lauched at 5000 rpms only made 1 pass, power shifting like mad, 1/2 tank , got there soon has track opened car cooled 2 hours, and they had lots of sticky rubber at the line. i need some bogarts or welds now.

how my times look?
time to install my spec 3 plus and 26 sp. input shaft now ,500 miles will come after about a year. but stock clutch seem to be holding.

this isnt the fastest 03 vert is it? i wouldnt think so.

they told me i need at least a 6 pt bar or a 8 pt next time and 5 point harrness, said once i break 10.00s will need 10pt cage. and lots more firesuit gloves, window nets, and 9 second lic. im going to keep it under 10.00

post slip later.tired i might get it up tonight ,if i now how to use my scanner after 2 yrs. wifes out of town on got my dig cam.would be alot easier that way.

Very nice! :beer:

there ink low i guess , can barley read it. i think its 134 or 131 ?them rim must have knocked 100 lbs or better off, no jack/or spare .but left the rear seat in, for the sound level. plus vert rear seat dont weigh has much as coupes.i will have to fuguire out my race weigh. i got to get calulator. and guess on the rim differance.> [edit]>added i guessing race was around 3640 lbs with me in it.

ok i findly got the scanner down, it was saying it was to big, had to crop it dowm to bare min, i hope it works ?
i not good to computers, or spelling.

thanks everyone , a do now how to launch i car on slicks. they had lots of wear so i didnt heat them that good ,and should have left i little higher 5500 rpms it did lift the front end up on take off. i went by myself. drove out with slicks and skinnies on it . i forgot to take the pass head light out i never popped my hood even for tech guy, he didnt ask , told him it ws my first time here.

if i couldnt have borrowed the rim tire combo i wouldnt have went. but every one was getting pissed at me.

No, a 135 trap speed is excellent and your 2.6 setup is definately making good power.

RoushBoyd on this Forum has a Comp O Vert that has run a 9.943 at 141 with a Kb and nitrous. Grea thing about this one is that it's a 6 speed/IRS/full weight car.

BFoley has hit a 9.22 at 145 with his Procharged vert. His 03' is set up VERY WELL for the track.

 

[mineralrob]

Thats moving for sure. Nice times!!

 

[03cobramanIII]

thanks everyone, going to run full weight next time, with my stock wheels and borow my bro inlaws 18x9 cobra r rims with 265/18s mt dr's to see if i will still be in the 10s. cause i really dont want drag tires in it .

What weight reduction did you do or do you know what the car weighed in at? I can't believe your stock clutch held for that run. What rpm's did you shift at? Nice time to say the least!



Edit: I went back and found where you weighed your car without you in it and it was 3,700lbs without driver. So I assume your race weight was at least 3,850lbs with you in it.

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Great job man and very nice times. Especially for a vert.

 

[Atra_Diabolus]

What rear end setup do you have? I want to be somewhere around that time when I hit up the track. Maybe I missed it, but did you say you had slicks and skinnies for that run or just radials?

 

[rtusnake]

NVM I read your signature.

it weighed 3660 with 1/4 tank or 3700 with 1/2 tank i weigh appx 165 now. it with stock wheels spare etc.

i took off the ft sway bar - 15 lbs
not sure what spare and jack weighs
or the differance in weight of the other drag wheels should have weighted it all. i gace the i but the guys rims back on his car and he got it this morning.
if someone can fill me in on that i will now twhat car weighs the way i ran it .

stock clutch had to have not have been slipping with that mph.? you think?
