Well, after putting in the solid axle and 4.10's I knew I would improve my time of 12.2, which was at a half decent track on a BFG DR.
My 28x12.5 Hoosier QTP's have not arrived so I borrowed a set of 17" ET Streets on 03 Cobra wheels, and had a Moroso DS-2 Skinny on the front end.
Friday night was my first time on this combo, and believe it or not my first time on a "slick"...the air was cool but the car was still warm after a 20min cool down (drove 1hr to the track, which is our GOOD track).
Friday night, first pass I launched at 4000, cut a 1.69 60ft and ran a 11.3 @ 120mph. By the time I got around for another pass the track was closed. Although I did not get in as many runs as I wanted to, I was happy with the results but KNEW it had more in it.
I decided to go back Saturday night after work to see what I could squeeze out of her. I let the car cool down for about an hour, with the IC pump running with ice in the res. to keep it cool.
First pass I launched at 4800, cut a 1.735 60ft and ran a 11.760 @ 126.95. I decided to hot lap and see what she could do. I did a nice long burnout, lined the car up perfectly launching at 5000 cutting a 1.59 60ft giving me a 11.162 @ 121.50mph . I ran 7.189 @ 93.24 in the 1/8th.
All in all I am happy as this was my second day on slicks (3rd pass ever) and a new combo for me with the rear suspension. I know the car has more in it and hope for at least a 10.99 on the bigger tires.
