First time being at the track with the new eaton swap. Mods are in the sig.
Car just has eagle F1s in the front with nitto 555s on the rear. 275 wide. Wheels are oem 2003 cobra. Car was hopping like mad! There is pretty much nothing stock with my rear suspension. Only thing now is to change tires I guess.
This was my first run of the night. I messed up going to third and still pulled off a 12.7. I knew this car had 12.5s easy after I saw this. My second run I completely missed third and got a 12.8. It was super busy at bradenton drag strip here in florida, and only had one more run.
My best run of the night was the third. I really pushed it off the line. Might of rode the clutch a bit, but I was racing my buddy in the 2011 5.0 with catback and intake(not that it really helps him a lot).
Car didn't hop a lot coming off the line, but as soon as I hit second it started hopping a bit. just kept in it and rode it out.
I decided on this run to try and max out 3rd gear before going to fourth. I tried to shift at 7k rpms and completely missed fourth. I was really mad that it happened. I honesty think it cost me an easy 1/10th. Next time I'm just going to shift at 6500 as normal.
What I don't understand is why I ran a 114mph trap in 12.7, but ran 12.55 at 106! How does this happen? Did I get off the line that much faster?
Pisses me off that it didn't record my 60ft' time or my eight.
What do you guys think? I bet the car has 12.4s in it as it sits. I'm sure with some good tires and a better driver it has 12.2s in it. The car is setup more for autocross though. I feel pretty good on how it did. Soon you'll catch me at sebring for the SVTOA event coming up!
