If you're running 116 mph, you're a high 11 second car easy.

ya 10.5:1 then as the injector start to max 11.3 right near 6000 then they peg :bigcry: So I'm gonna get some 60# injectors, Drag Radials, 10% overdrive crank pulley and fix up my tune some more to run 11.5:1 all the way through and shift higher.

Congrats on an extremely nice run,
when you get past the injectors maxing out, that thing is gonna be scary :burnout:fast,.... like it isn't already. :beer:

What size did you run btw? I need some tire, looking into options, don't really want the 305 nitto DRs

Mickey Thompson ET Streets
26x11.5x16

Get the 28" instead of 26" tall ET streets tho. They look better on the car and have more traction.;)

Why am I stuck in 12.8? :mad2:

I was pegging my 39#'s and my 90mm MAF too. I wish I swapped them out before I got rid of the car to see what a difference it made. Nice run though, once you get DR's, you'll definately be in the 11's.

Rear End needs rebuilt by a GOOD Tech.

Tune needs adjusted by a GOOD Tuner.

Problems SOLVED!

Sorry to stray off subject but....
Steve where would i find a calculator for the effective gear ratio? Just wondering what mine is equivilant too.

Hmm..... it looks like the calc I found was backwards :(

1Measure the old tire size, in inches, with a tape measure. Also measure the new tire size, in inches, and write both numbers down.
Step2
Divide the new tire size by the old tire size, and write that number down.
Step3
Multiply that number by your current gear ratio. To calculate your current gear ratio, jack the rear of the vehicle up and spin the driveshaft exactly one revolution. Count how many times the wheel turned completely around per one turn of the driveshaft. If you come up with 3.5, then your current ratio is going to be about 3.5:1.
Step4
This final number is your optimum gear ratio. Chances are that the exact number will not be available, so round to the nearest offered ratio. For instance, 4.56 is the nearest available gear ratio to 4.54, and will get you as close to stock as possible.

That doesn't seem so bad for that low MPH you ran it in :confused:

[TAKEDOWN]

Awesome... I like your style!
