So whats my car gonna run tonight...

Best time to date is 14.0@102 w/ 2.2 60' on my aftermarket 17's w/ crappy street tires..

Tonight im running stock 16's all around with BFG Drag Radials on the rears.

Car has simple bolt-on's and gears...everything listed in sig..N20 will not be used tonight

Car puts down 267/300 on the dyno..

13.60's possible?? i think so

I think you can get 13.6.

I trapped 104 @ 13.6 in mine (street tires cold track) and the lack of traction was a factor.

A sticky track and good tires can have a good effect on e.ts

your def lacking on the top end.. My fuel pump went out at 134k. How much fuel pressure are you getting at the schrader valve.

i gotta throw the test guage back on there again...over a month ago it was reading fine...the pump is the only thing i can blame at this point, cause this car has always trapped over 100..time to call racetronix!

Re: So whats my car gonna run tonight...

I'd check the air filter and fuel filter before going for the fuel pump. The mph dropped off big time. Any idea of the weather conditions? 4 mph is a lot. One burnt plug wire can cause that type of power loss as can a fouled plug. Do the simple things before spending money.

Re: So whats my car gonna run tonight...

OPTI is like new, I check for any burnt wires..nothing, they are fairly new aswell..I cleaned my SLP airfilters two days before I went to the track..fuel filter has like 15k on it, i might change that too, but I am still putting the problem on the Fuel Pump

it was like 60 degrees outside with some light wind..the 102mph run was in like 40degree weather at the same track

www.racewaypark.com is where i raced at
