    Talking just got back from the track

    well tonight i took the car to cecil tonight just to get used to it. unfortunately it was SO packed that i only did one run. although the ET is nothing spectacular i feel the MPH is pretty insane! i went on my street tires so i aired them down to about 19-20, and turned the air suspension off. i did a small burnout just enough to get the water dried off OD off, TC off. the lights go down, i left the hole at about 1/4 throttle eased it up to about 1/2 by the 60ft. it went to second, eased on it some more, then at about the 1/8th or maybe a little B4 i went WOT and ened up with this.

    60ft 2.47
    330 6.28
    1/8 9.14
    mph 86.95
    1000 11.575
    1/4 13.59
    mph 113.54

    i didnt go WOT till almost half track and trapped at 113??!

    what did I tell you about street tires , but good MPH man, when you hook the MPH will likely go down so don't be shocked. Low 12s easy though with a little bit of tire


    11.90 @ 117.5mph on 93 octane
    324 shortblock, Novi 2000, Now with optional axle removing tires

    The way you had to drive it, made the power later on makes the mph go up, spinning seems to as well. If you can hook well and make power from the get go your ET will be strong, and it may not run quite as much MPH. I can't say I know the physics of it all but having to half throttle and running a 12.4 on street tires gave me a higher mph a couple time than the mph on the 11.90 run
