Well guys i did break but i did get 3 good runs in before it went. The timeslips are pretty dull so here they are typed out. Oh and btw this is my first real time running on slicks, haha, hows that for 60ft times, i spun the slicks every launch, i think if i would have done a 2nd gear burnout i could have maybe pulled a 1.6XX 60ft. My suspension felt really good. The urethane bushings and coilovers helped alot keeping the front wheels planted.
1st run: didnt do a burnout to heat the slicks, rev limiter launch, preloaded drivetrain.
60ft: 1.899
1/8: 8.078 @ 87.5mph
1/4: 12.573 @ 105.9mph
2nd run, heated up slicks slightly, rev limiter launch preloaded drivetrain.
60ft: 1.81
1/8: 7.98 @ 87.3mph
1/4: 12.44 @ 109.51 mph
Last run i got the best launch, heated up the slicks really good, Slicks set at 10psi btw: rev limiter launch, preloaded drivetrain.
60ft: 1.724
1/8: 7.87 @ 87.44
1/4: 12.47 @98mph
This is the run that let go. Here is the thing. Notice my 1/8 mile is already .1 faster. the topend was pulling like crazy. My speedo is pretty accurate btw. 2nd run right as i crossed the line my speedo was at 110mph. Here is what happened. about 300ft before the end of the 1/4 mile i was crossing 110mph on my speedo then it fell on its face and and i look back and a big cloud of blue smoke. Just totally lost power so i coasted to the finish and still ran that 12.47. That run would have been a 12.0-1 easily @113 is my guess. I let the car cool for 45 minutes before the 3rd run. The pipes on the other run were burning hot. The topend felt soo much better on the 3rd run and it was pulling hard till i lost the 3rd cylinder. The 3rd cylinder has 0 compression. Pretty sure i melted a hole in it being it got hot and i wasnt using my race gas yet because i still had almost a half tank and i didnt want to add the weight and it wouldnt have mixed good anyways. So i was gonna just burn up what was in there then put the race gas in and bump the timing up a couple deg to increase topend even more.
The car was running sooo good too. Even though it was 85 deg out on my 3rd run, my other two runs it was about 90 deg out. So yeah do the math, a 70 deg night, race gas, bumped timing i think an 11.9 would have been feasable. haha Oh well bigger and better things to come
I will post up vids here in a minute. Enjoy. Evo towed me 3 hours home once again, haha
