96 Cobra w/1.5 KB time

[Bullseye96]

traction lok took a shit so 1 wheel burnouts and the wheels were switching left to right all the way through 1st. I had to launch at 2300 rpms to reduce slip.

3700 lbs on the dot with me in it w/ full tank
12.89@ 109
1.90 60ft
8.33 8th

Sounds like you have a few things to work out. What was the 8th mph?

 

[Bullseye96]

I'll check, the slips in my toolbox. Yes I have to get the T-lok rebuilt and am hoping for mid to low 12s. my burnouts were worthless after the 1st 2 runs because just one was spinning. I'm also not really trying to beat my car up so I'm shifting at 6200 and babying the launch even with a functional t-lok.

1/8 mph was 85.89

What's the altitude there?

 

[Bullseye96]

to be honest with you I don't know exactly but I do know that everyone I know that goes to Houston to race (Baytown) always shave 2+ tenths off their time because that track is at sea level. It is very humid here during the summer and it was about 85* that night.

Get the rear end fixed, get a decent tire and try upping you shift points to 6500. My 97 ran 12.60 at almost 112 naturally aspirated on stock suspension. It was at only 3300lbs though. More seat time will definately improve your ets. Elevation plays a big role in power too.

yeah, my car was definately spinning off the line but I will say this. nobody in Texas that I've seen has run an NA 4v (no spray, full weight) w/ bolt ons under 13. I think that good air, and losing some weight will def help. 400 lbs is .4 approx so your #s reflect that. was that 3300 with you in it or curb weight? I also need to add this, I ran a 12.99 immediately backing out of 4th and braking because of detonation so I think that run could have been much faster than my 12.89. that 12.99 @ 109 with 1.96 60ft, 8.41 8th @ 85.08 mph.

should easily have another half second and another 3-4mph once u get the buggs worked out
