I ran a 11.91 today at Beech Bend, so I guess I'm the newest member of the 11 second club. The DA was around 400' on this run.

Here's the slip and video. That's Steve taping the run with the exciting commentary at the end.

Congrats! Great run.

 

Welcome to the club............your "members only" jacket is in the mail.

 

good job and 11 second club what an honor, con grads. jim

 

Thanks, guys. It's nice to be in the 11's, but now I really need to get it down around an 11.7 or 11.6. At least that's my goal.

 

Awesome!!

 

Awesome! You are close to my best of 7.55 in the 8th, and looks like you are on your way. Hopefully the weather holds up for you for awhile before Winter sets in. I ran an 11.88 2 weeks ago with the DA about the same as what you had. So you are just about right there with me. Hope you get some negative DA's to help drop your times even more. Did you get the LSD put in? Congrats and welcome to the club!

 

Thanks, Jimmy.


Thanks. I didn't order the Wavetrack. I'm running on stock and intend to until it blows. Hopefully when my dies Steve will sell me his for cheap.

I feel my 60' and A/F are holding me back. I looked at my slicks last night and the contact marks lead me to believe I'm running too much air pressure. I'm going to drop it down to 15 psi on my next outing. Hopefully this will net me some 1.7' or better with some addition time behind the wheel.

As for the A/F, I sent Eurocharged an email requesting a revision. Currently I'm seeing an A/F of 11.0 at 20 psi. I'd like to lean that out to 12.2 but no leaner, at least not up top. Lean is mean down low where there is less load on the engine IMO, but up top I like it a little rich.

It's going to be tough to catch you, but I promise to give it a good bit of effort.

 

Nice! You almost looked white! thumbs up!

 

Wow, if you are that rich on top, then you should definitely hit 11.7 at the track when it gets leaned out. My A/F is 12.6 around 6000 keeping it strong on top, which is the reason why I like to mix some race fuel in there to prevent any pre-detonation. No one wants timing pulled at the end of the 1/4 mile. I think I still have the "1/4 mile tune" from Eurocharged

 

How much Horsepower does your car have?

 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


I have no idea.

 

no dyno but it had enough power to make a v10 viper pickup look like a prius going down the track!!

 

I'm impressed by both cars ....... and both drivers. One day I'll figure out the drag strip secrets.

Les

 

you and me both les. athony makes it look like a walk in the park. im hoping to get him away from his home track for a rematch!

 

Hopefully it won't be so close next time.

 

i agree. i should have a 1/2 sec lead!

 

No, you're best was a 12.21, not a 12.41. I'm sure you'll be in the 11's as soon as you get it to hook. As soon we dial-in the air pressure and burn out, I think we'll both be doing much better.

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!

My goal is 11.6 - 11.7 also.... I have to wait till next spring now. The rain is back here....

 

Thanks, Mike, and good luck on your quest. I wish you the best of luck.

I just got my retune (revision) tonight from Adam (Eurocharged), so hopefully I'll see some leaner A/F's tomorrow. Now I just need to figure out the tire pressure and burnout. Then I can up the launch RPM and let her eat! Hopefully you, Steve, and I will accomplish our goals this season. The rest of the guys will have to wait.
