I'm rooting for Boss's at tracks all across the country! Heck, I hope you guys both go 11.30's at whatever the heck MPH too! Lol!

Unrealford- videos? From me? Are you serious!? Lol! I can't even scan my time slips, I don't have a clue how to do that crap!

I wished someone video'd me with the ZL1 though, even though he had a bad pass, that was my 11.52 so it would have been cool.

I have to check drag times to see what the DA was. When we got to the track at 7:45 AM, it was 33 degrees out and one of my friends (Jake who has record for fastest Eaton Cobra) said DA was -2,000'!!! That my friends, is mineshaft air!

burnin, what do you think your car really traps?

 

[svt1111]

Just checked DA.

9:55 AM it was -1516'.

4:55 PM it was -825'.

As the track warmed up (ambient temp hit 52 degrees) and DA stayed below sea level, it spelled a recipe for decent times. Starting line was like fly paper and that is rare at New England Dragway.

 

[KYSVT]

Very impressive times, Congrats :beer:

 

[Unrealford]

I hear ya on videos, Im just lucky somebody I know is there, or I drag the wife.

burnin, what do you think your car really traps?

I honestly don't know what to think, it trapped 117.99 stock (12.35), then trapped 123mph (11.7) with longtubes, catback, cold air + JMS e-tune + wheels/tires. 2 weeks later I went 11.58 at 119mph at a different dragstrip in worse DA, no changes to my car.

I then changed my hi-flow xpipe to an offroad xpipe, aluminum driveshaft, and custom dyno tune from Amazon. My car is definitively stronger and smoother after the tune. It went 11.7 at 115mph, with 1.8's. Traction/prep was horrible, couldn't get out of the hole.

When I reviewed 22 timeslips from my 3 previous trips to the dragstrip, my et's are all within .1 of each other through the 8th and the qtr. However, my mph varies 4-8mph, and only in the qtr. oddly enough, my mph through the 8th (22pass's) are all almost identical. The difference in mph is only happening between the 8th and the qtr. :shrug:

Good info.

I will be interested to see if this "phenomenon" is on Unrealfords car and Arabian Oaks car too. My 1/8 mile times have always been consistent as well.

Were you running straight pump gas every time? I thought my car might pull timing from knock so I splashed a good ratio of 100 octane in it for my passes here. That's the only reasonable explaination I can conclude, or the timing gear that the tracks isn't measuring MPH properly or consistently. Who knows....

All I care about is that we are getting mid 11's from a puny NA 302, and ZL1's are struggling to go 11's still ( although I will admit to saying the ZL1 I met at the track was a very nice car IMO).

 

[burnin4]

I was on 93 pump. Rick from Amazon tried to tune my car on 100 octane and it wouldn't make any more hp. I also data logged a few of my pass's and there was no detection of knock, so I don't think it was pulling timing. I also flashed my old JMS tune that trapped 123 and it trapped the same/115mph as my custom tune from Amazon.

When I studied the et's from my 3 previous trips/22 pass, I averaged 4.1sec between the 8th and qtr regardless of mph. This is what leads me to believe that something is wrong with the drag strip's equipment. If I was trapping 8mph less then my et's wouldnt be almost identical from previous trips with the same setup. I dunno, but I'm going back soon with a diff set of tires.

 

[ArabianOak]

what your car dyno burnin?

 

[burnin4]

what your car dyno burnin?

About 50whp/34tq over stock. It put down 356/303 the day before it trapped 117mph bone stock.

 

[Mikegee1028]

I had the privilege to help a friend data log a boss 302 for an AED tune these things scream man.

 

[kbroush]

Awesome times man! All of you actually. I can't wait to see 11's with minr. The DA at our track is always horrible.

I know what you mean. Our track is 966 to start and averages 2600 to 3000 ft.

Congrats on the E.T. Time for to finally plan aday and get my car up there with you (they are open until the end of the month).

Anyway, from my experience with New England Dragway it looks like they are off about 2 MPH compared to other tracks. I think they take their readings somewhere between the 1000' and 1320' and do some weird calculation. I guess years ago they we're pretty comparable with other tracks but a car destroyed their sensors and after they were replaced its been off.

FYI, Atco will put that car in the low 11's and if you go with us to MIR for the import vs domestic race (they usually are -2200 ft at that time) you'll be smiling like it's christmas morning.

I was curious about this too. Normally I'd expect 120 mph traps with the eighth mile speeds being over 97 MPH. I honestly suspect that the trap speed readings at the track were off. By how much, I don't know. As I mentioned, at Lebanon Valley my buddy's auto GT ran 12.1 at 114 and his tune was preventing the car from exceeding 7,000 rpm. His tune change he ran at New England Dragway resulted in the same lay over at 7,000 rpm. Since his car has a 26" drag radial with 4.10's, it is at 7,000 before the finish line! For him to run 11.84 at New England Dragway but trap 1 MPH less than he did at Lebanon Dragway with the car still shutting down at the 1,000' mark, that tells me that the trap speeds are suspect. The DA was incredible though, and as such I expected around 118-119 traps at least on mine.

Maybe Shaun could chime in? I ran 4 gallons of 100 octane unleaded over about 3 gallons of 93 octane, so I highly doubt it pulled any timing but I did not log any passes.

The car felt strong all the way though. I saw 120-122 MPH as I passed the scoring boards, which are only maybe 50' past the finish line. RPM was around 7,600.

Hey Steve!

Thanks for chiming in! Now that you mention that about the trap speed sensors, I remember hearing about that a couple of years ago or so. Too bad.

I'd love to go with you guys. Email me the details when you get a chance. I've been doing a lot of car crap lately though so I'll have to see how it balances out with my other family responsibilities first though.

Honestly I wish I had extra personal time. Id love to go on a road trip and meet you guys. 8 hrs trip.
Or you guys can meet me half way at New York International Raceway ( Empire Dragway) now.
We have our Invite race this Sunday.
Its near Rochester.
Well have 4 Bosses there already.

Who knows some tracks may actually give the actual MPH at the end of the 1/4 mile versus the trap speed which is the average MPH in the last 66' (iirc) of the 1/4 mile....

 

[ViciousJay]

wonder why you only picking up 19 or 20 mph on the back half? are running out of gear in 4th? wonder what you would run on street tires without skinnies?

gears... he needs to swap over to a 28'' tall tire and his times should possibly get even better. Memory serves Boss's come with 3.73's correct? :shrug:

 

[idhitit]

What shifter are you using? Do you have any mods to the clutch setup?

Thanks
