you quickly jumped up to the 8th quickest in the world (with room to improve) i believe your still running a completely stock exhaust as well? 11's arent easy, ask anyone who has done it. we have all fought with the low 12's before breaking in and i wouldnt expect it the first time out. the last mod needed for us to break in was the supercooler. add your timeslip to dragtimes.com as thats the most complete list we have going.
how many runs did you get in?
im soo impressed with the 60 ft times on stock tires, ill have to take some lessons from you guys as we blow the tires away whenever we tried it. i bet you had a ton of people commign up to you in the staging lanes to find out what the hell was up with the sleeper that left them at the starting line
did you guys use the distilled water in a spray bottle secret weapon between rounds? (i showed it to chris in MD last year) (tap water works almost as well but leaves water spots on the pretty parts)
Yeah I'll have to do that (re: dragtimes).
I got in 3 runs. The first was terrible, slid all the way through 1st and 2nd (got a 2.xx 60') and a 12.49 ET. The second was a great 60 1.77 but a 12.2.
Regarding my 60' and traction. I really don't have much trouble hooking up if I do a proper burn out with the stock tires. I heard some guy giving someone advice at the track to NOT do a burnout on street tires that it will only make them slippery not sticky. I don't find this to be the case- at least not with the stock Michelins.
Distilled water in spray bottle? Never heard anything about that????
Thanks again Rob for everything. All I have to do now is use some of that felt you gave me. My driver's side CAI tube is rubbing against the tube coming down off the back of the mani- it's already scuffed the paint off in a tiny spot. The passanger side CAI is rubbing the corner of one of he coil packs. I'll see if I can reposition it- I never had that fitment issue before the duals (possibly due to tilting the rubber-y up slightly to clear the AC line on the driver's side).
