Default Hit the strip last night

Didn't do all that well... only hit a 13 flat.
Can't wait to do up the new block so I can run more boost safely. These Total Seal rings are leaking and killing my power. :angry:

But, this was a fun race :naughty:



Wanna guess who won? h:

Cool! How much difference did your new wheels/tires make?

A lot. My 60' times didn't improve only because I wasn't used to the tires yet. It's funny because on my street tires, I have to feather the clutch out so that I won't just sit there and spin. Well, when I did that with the new tires it bogged the crap out of the car. :chuckles:

I only made about 5 or 6 passes with them so it's just going to take a bit of learning to get them figured out.

Can't wait to see the numbers when you figure out the new tires.

~110.

My fastest trap has been 115 and I ran a 12.7 on street tires. Best time is in sig.

Bad rings. I'm using Total Seal rings and they were either installed wrong or they're just not liking boost cause they're allowing me to burn off oil.

I only ran a 13.0 this time around with bad 60' times. Just wait till the new block goes int. h:

Get a 2 step and launch those suckers off the rev limiter....i was launching my 20" e.t. drags at the 1/8 mile tonight off the rev limiter producing consistent 1.8-1.9's running 9.1 in the 1/8 on intake header. No one believed how fast my SER was when i came within a .10th of a 00 WS6 that trapped 81 mph.
