so I go to the track yesturday after work. Drove the car to the track, two hours to get there, I get there swap the rear tires for my E.T streets and get in line. I am in the quest for a 10.99 with a 2.8 pulley only and stock eaton blower, My previous best was a 11.44 with a 1.8 60 foot time and my mph was 122 with 10 pounds of boost with a boost leak (i adjusted the boost bypass playing around with it)

well yesturday (sat) it was 53 degrees nice and cool and not a single cloud, it was the perfect day for a 10sec pass. This is the first pass,
r/t ... .707
60'... 1.68
330... 4.777
1/8 ... 7.341
MPH ... 99.95
1000 ... 9.539
1/4 ... 11.446
MPH ... 112.07
:cuss:

So i get in the lanes and my buddy comes over with a shorter belt, I go and try to change the belt,....... and I come to find out the belt tensinor is frozen in one postion, DAMN that could of been my 10 sec pass, the way the car felt it pulled real hard but by 6,000 rpm it would fall on its face and not pull anymore The belt was slipping real bad since the tensinor was frozen in one position and not doing its job. I got 3 total runs

2nd pass
r/t .444
60' 1.882
330 5.023
1/8 7.595
mph 98.73
1000 9.811
1-4 11.801
mph 106.49

3rd and last pass hit the rev limiter in second gear and missed 3rd
r/t . 291
60' 1.874
330 5.060
1/8 7.695
mph 95.41
1000 9.990
1/4 12.184
mph 97.23

The las two runs they stop putting down the sticky stuff (VHT) as the track was nearing closing times. But oh well I am gonna have to fix the tensiner try to make my 10 sec pass and once I do that step up to a 75-100 dry shot
:rolling: oh and this car is my daily driver ask 00svt dubs:coolman: eddie
