New personal best at the track today!

[MikesMerc]

Well, I think I've gone as far as the 2004 season will take me this year. Wrapping up the season at Milan was a blast today. Temps were nice and cool, but traction sucked big time. The extra power from the cool weather translated into plenty of wheel spin along with slick racing surface.

Not to detered by traction problems, I managed to eek out my new personal best of 12.153 @ 114.23!! That was with a crappy 1.876 60 foot too.

Can't complain. That's a sweet time for the mods I have...Trilogy with the 3.2 pulley, Pro-M, exhaust work, and 4.10 gears. Everything else is stock performance wise.

Well, she'll be going under the blankets tomorrow for a long winters nap. I've got my eye on the 11 second zone next year with just a few more tweaks....nothing major. The car is primarily done now.

WOW - Mike very nice time. Congrats :up:

[MikesMerc]

Thanks guys:)

Billy, the cold weather does indeed add a big punch if you can work out the traction issues associated with a cold track.

Barry, I've got the kooks. Its the throttle body and maybe a pulley change I'm eyeing for the spring.

Maybe Santa will be nice this year! :burnout:

A really nice time Mike. Wished I could have made it out there but I went to work so maybe I can have my blower for next season.

My car is setup almost identical to your except the larger MAF. Same pulley, exhaust, etc. and the drag slicks.

I'm eyeing the same mods, throttle body, pulley change and a larger MAF next spring. Also be running slicks or drag radials too.

Good to know my car should be capable of almost the same times.

Very nice times! :up:
