Made 3 runs on the new engine. Blew the tires off of it all 3 runs. first pass 1.90 60ft., 8.14 ET, 93.94 Mph went downhill from there. I've got to work on the traction.
i believe that mph should be in the low to mid 7's. when you get some traction you should drop the et by quite a bit.
I agree...with that MPH you should be well into the 7's. Probably deep into the 7's. Looks very promising!!
Thanks for the encouragement Gentlemen. It's been a year since I've been to the track with it, so the driver needs to get rid of some cobwebs too.
Agreed...may be pushin the high 6 second mark hard...whats going on with the traction...what's the setup? Imagine it hookin HARD!
thats big MPH Sounds like you have a quick ride in the making You can bring it to Elizabethtown in July......
We have MT ET Streets w/ 20lbs psi on the first pass. 2nd pass 15 lbs psi, went 8:34. 3rd pass 25 lbs psi, went 8:25. Also have homemade Cal-Trac type bars. Did some adjusting on passenger side for last run. 3:55 posi diff. Everyone said I was smoking the tires to 1/2 track all passes.
are you running tubes? Also, do you know how much your car weighs? that sounds like a lot of air pressure......but I have never ran with ET Streets so I probably do not know what I am talking about.
My Although the mph is very encouraging, I'm not as optimisitic about the e.t. as others. My guess would be 7.5-7.7ish (based on my experience doing 101mph @ 7.2" in a Fox Mustang). Also, if you're smoking the tires "halfway down the track" at 15psi, you definetly have a weight transfer issues. What shocks do you have (front and rear)? I've had to go as low as 12.5 in a heavier car - but I was leaving on a 150shot of Nitrous in a similar setup! Sounds like you've got the makings of a very quick car nonetheless!
I agree with Rick, et and mph do not go hand in hand, but with the first motor I in PINKY she went 7.70's @ 84-86 mph.....so you definitely have some power with the mph you are running, now the tough part of going fast (quick) getting everything to work together .
NIce numbers you will deffinetly get it going low 7's. Mine generally goes 7.20's with that kind of mph.
yep your 60ft says it all... no traction your cars 5 mph faster then mine and i run in the 7.70 - 7.60s all day long.. ok well not all day... but the 4 times they let me go down the track that is
i ran the M/T et streets before i changed to the M/T et street drag radials. i always ran about 12 pounds of pressure. what rpm are you leaving at? i left at about 2200 rpm after doing about a 5 second burnout. never had any problem with spinning but if i went higher i had a problem holding it on the line.
My car with the 302 was right at 94mph and the ET was consistently in the mid - high 7.30's with a 1.55 60' time.
