Hit Bowling Green tonight!
Hit Bowling Green tonight!
I met up with David (don't know his username on here), his wife Jessica, and Steve (32Krazy!) for little racing. David was racing his 300 and running 11's and Steve was sliding around all over the track like he was wearing ice skates. He can fill you in on that.
Anyway, I'm still trying to get a feel for what's good and what isn't, so I'm thinking this isn't too good. I did three runs and all were on stock sized street tires.
All runs had 1.8 sixty footers and all ET's were 12.3-12.4. The best run was a 12.30 @ 111.04 MPH. By the way, my launch consisted of rolling into the throttle from idle. If we were able to run more frequently I would have pushed the limits and launched more aggressively, but that wasn't the case.
I won't go into the A/F drama, but it feels like there's a little bit more meat on the bone.

Thanks. Sorry I left early, but I had a hot wife waiting for me. Hopefully I'll get the A/f thing figured out (on the cheap) and stay within sight of you when you run those DR's next time.

I'm not logging A/F yet, so based on observations its ranging from11.8-12.5 with intermittent 14.6 at full boost. The last part is what's scaring me. I'm changing the fuel filter today, and if the problem persist I'll swap the pump. I don't believe its tune related.

Its not the filter or the pump and you are correct about it not being tune related. Also, you will be able to get into the 11's on street tires. Please don't ask how I know these things..
Good showing, keep it up!

I installed my wide band and it's giving me an education.

I agree that 11's should be possible on street tires, as 1.8's was with me just rolling into it from idle. Next time out I'll try a little more aggressive launch and see if I can get it down to the 1.7's. I don't believe I'll do any better than 1.7's on street tires, but I'm too new at launching this thing to really tell. Clearly a huge variable in this is track prep.

Re: Hit Bowling Green tonight!
I just found some photos of the nights runs. Unfortunately there aren't any of Steve's races.
