I took my 03 Cobra to the 1/8th last night for the first time and was a little disappointed to be honest. Help point me in the right direction. I ran 7.31 @ 100.09 1.78 60ft 1st pass. followed by a 7.25 @ 99.25 1.74 60ft. Runs were 20 minutes apart. I was expecting to trap a little higher and at least be in the high 6's. This was my first time out on ET drags/ skinnies (28x10.50x15 stiff walls). 17 psi first pass spinning through 1st, 15 psi on 2nd pass leaving off MSD 2 step at 3500 rpm. The car is supposed to make 660's on E-85, it's a Whipple 2.3 making 18# of boost. SRA swap car w/ 3:73 and steeda lowering springs...not the best drag suspension.
What gives....I think my my 60ft times suck, my mph sucks, and et's suck. What do I need to do. I honestly thought I could leave at a much higher rpm and hook. I was thinking about drag shocks/ springs, k-member to help it transfer and leave harder. Overall I'm just not pleased with how it ran. As the night went on I made about 5 more passes but it was getting heat soaked and running 7.4's @96-97 mph. I just called it a night at that point.
