Ran a 12.93 @ 106.3 tonight at Muncie Dragway :) I put the Nitto NT555R's on the factory rims yesterday with plans to run at Indiana Raceway Park, but rain put a damper on my plans!

Getting into the 12's with my first run tonight really put me back into the spirit though. I really need to get some more practice with my launch technique and warming the Nitto's up. Sixty Foot time on my first run was 1.912. Err.. umm.. we won't talk about my R/T though.. haha

Nate,

That's great to see you got the car out to the drags.
Awsome times for one of your first time out with the new set-up.
Post here or PM me... I'd like to know where the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts happened at WOT with the biger, stickier tire.
I found that optimal shifts on the Trilogy cars is about 6100 to 6300. Its splitting adams at this point once its over 5900 and not higher then 6400. But just curious, the bigger tires shouldnt have thrown the shift points off to much I'm assuming. On modern computer controlled transmissions in Ford's.... When the traction is damn near perfect, the shifts points are almost dead consistant at WOT. Big tire spin throws the WOT shifts off some times.

Maybe you'll make some FunFord or NMRA drag races in '04??


Thanks
