We've gone faster, again. This car just keeps running better and better.
Last Wednesday we had the car on the dyno for some fine tuning & testing before heading up to the NMRA Bowling Green, KY race. We got there on Thursday night so we could run TnT on Friday.
Friday the car went a 10.86 and then a 10.69.
On Saturday she ran in True Street and went an 11.0 first pass with a spinning 1.76 60ft, on the two subsequent passes she went 10.76 twice in a row, some of the numbers on the time slips lined up exactly, the 60s were in the low low 1.6 range. It was nice to see the car perform very well on 3 hot hood down back to back passes. Saturday night a cold front came in, so we stayed for Sunday since the temp was about 10* cooler.
On Sunday morning she clocked two 10.61s in a row with 1.61-1.62 60fts (not her best, track was slippery). First pass ran 130.6 and on the 2nd pass the car was a little warmer and there was a head wind, it went 129.8
The car is very consistent as long as you have a good burnout on the 265/40/18 MTs. We are still doing some suspension tuning, on a stock height car there is a very fine line when it comes to LCA angle.
We still have the Roush supplied enclosed air box (carb legal), its nice to say we did this with an as supplied kit from Roush, just custom tuning. However there is a bunch of power hiding out in the CAI so we'll be swapping that soon.
There is just a ton left in this car in terms of intake, gears, drag wheels, so I'm very excited about pushing it farther in the coming months.
