Hit Low 12's last friday

[2003 Cobra Kid]

Well ran 12.5's all night untill I ran a 12.29 @115. It was my first time at the track with the pulley and tune done.
R/T .638
60" 1.961
330 5.273
1/8 8.000
mph 90.56
1000 10.328
1/4 12.293
mph 115.23
I think if it wasnt 83 degrees at the time of run and very humid at New England dragway and i had M/T and not 555r's I would have had a shot at
11's. O and I also had almost a half a tank and full weight including spare.
Thanks guys,
Joe

Very nice Joe! Good job for full weight on a hot night with Nittos.

I have run at New England Dragway with a full tank of gas and
my spare in the car and I think it makes for better launches.
I think the car squats better with the weight over the IRS.

True, having weight over the rear tires can definately help a bit with launch characteristics. But, removing weight from the front end, stiffening the chassis with subframe connectors, and running the proper adjustments on aftermarket struts and shocks, will result in even greater launches.
