Thread: 12.9 @ 105

i went back to the track again yesterday, and since it was a domestic/ bracket day the track was actually decently prepped and i finally got to break into the 12s. but unfortunately i broke an axle again after only a couple passes! so i wasnt able to get a really good run in. maybe ill go again later in the season after a good tune with a spare set of axle and go for 12.7...
1.9 60ft
12.9
105.7mph

Sweet

You say you broke an axle AGAIN? What was the condition of the axles prior to breaking them?

ah well i broke the axle that i just prelaced 3 days prior. nothing wrong with the axles, i think its just too much rpm to ask out of them. i think preloading the car a little more would help, but by ebrake isnt doing the best job right now, so once i get that taken care of it will help.

I wonder about your axles as well man. Something wrong is happening. I've never broke one, and have pulled 1.8 60's NA and 1.7's spraying.

impressive numbers, nice car too

rpm. ive ran lots of 1.9s with my turbo set up too, and that was 300whp but i wasnt launching at +8k. i really think that the rpm is the problem, and like i said if i could pre load the car harder, i would be ok with such a high rpm launch.

Ah! Yeah, sick ass launches at that high of an RPM would be shocking to our little axles.

sick runs man, i cant wait to get back to the track, dang you beat my time all motor, rediculous. haha keep it up man, its that 60ft though with a 1.9 my time would be around a 12.5@110. but dang you keep getting faster and faster. With a 1.8 or better you will be down there right at 12.6-7

Damn dude, sick run. SO close to taking out that stang. Now is your car daily driven or only track?

good time. what size tires you running?
