Help Me Figure out these time slips


  

Rock36 -> Help Me Figure out these time slips (5/10/2008 3:05:20 AM)

Okay here are two runs I'll give the basics then ask the questions

1st Run

60'  2.05 seconds  (launched at 1250rpm and bogged slightly)
330'  5.80
1/8th  8.80 @ 83.7mph
1000' 11.32
1/4  13.45 @ 106.8 mph

2nd Run

60'  2.00 seconds  (2000rpm clutch slip lots of spin in first)
330'  5.68
1/8th  8.65 @ 84.5mph
1000' 11.13
1/4  13.24 @ 108.1 mph


I seem to be cutting a decent 60' time considering my mods, 4.10s and running on street tires.  I granny shift into 2nd, and power shift 3rd and 4th.  All that said, my 1/8th mile ET seems to be really slow compared to my 1/4 ET.  I'm making up a bunch of time on the back half of the track.  I am pretty happy with my trap speeds on the 1/8 and 1/4.

If not on the 60' time, where am I losing ET on the first 1/8th mile?  Or am I just imagining things?  I am trying to break into the 12s on street tires as a personal goal.

Actually, I think your times are in line. I run 1.78 60ft times and have 8.35 1/8 mile times. You have a few more mods than do but I have drag radials. Some of your mods are top end mods as well, LT's, CMCV deletes.

Powershifting will give you a tenth or two and the DRs will give you .4-.5.  The only two suspension mods I could see you adding is an upper control arm and relocate brackets for your LCAs.

Your 1/8 and 1/4 times seem to be right in line, mutiply your 1/8 by 1.52-1.53 and that sounds about right for the 1/4.
