new personal best

[opie99]

i know its not that great but hey i was proud. it was my second time at the track and the first time was earlier in the summer and i ran a 14.077 which is horrible, so this time i waited till the humidity was gone and the temp was around 60-65, not 80 at 10 at night (gotta love that midwest summer humidity and late night heat) like last time. the only mods i have done are cold air intake, sbtb, ftvb, boost by pass, and magna flow mufflers. i was just wondering what you guys thought about my run. i know i need to work on the 60' times, but what can you expect when ya got the f1 out back:burnout:


r/t... .010
60'... 2.077
330... 5.804
1/8... 8.838
mph... 80.96
1000... 11.474
1/4... 13.704
mph... 101.41

your 60ft could be a whole lot better...you should be able to run a very low 13

You're complaining about 80˚ heat in the summer? Try coming down here in the summer when it's 95˚ at 10 at night

You could probably hit mid 13's with a better 60' though. Congrats on the new best, though!

Great job!!! I checked the DA and it's about 1400ft. So you could have pulled a 13.6 under corrected conditions Oh and yeah, get that 60' down because I can almost pull that with my near stock explorer.

Nice times but I agree with a better 60' you could go mid 13's

what car do you have and what HP/TQ?

Since this is the Lightning forum, I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's a stock Lightning.oke:

That's pretty good considering the tires on the truck. Figure for every tenth you shave off your 60 foot you will shave 2 tenths off the ET. So potentially if you get a 1.9 sixty foot you will net a 13.5. Which is realistic on a good day with good track prep.

Throw some Drag Radials on there and watch those sixty foots drop...aswell as your ET's! I went 13.1 @ 102 on Drag radials with a AEM Cold Air and SCT. God made Drag Radials with Lightnings in mind :rockon:

thanks for the input, yeah i was really disappointed when i seen the 60' times, its really a dog out of the hole. i dont think the track was prepped to good, everybody was gettin loose out of the hole. i think the truck could really use a tune up also, 83,000 miles and i think it still has the original plugs in it, it really feels like its falling on its face when it hits second gear. i really wasnt complaining about the heat at night, what i was gettin at was the humidity.
