SLIP #1

60 foot 1.777
1/8 mile E.T 8.333
1/8 mile MPH 82.01
1/4 mile E.T. 13.157
1/4 mile MPH 98.61


SLIP #2

60 foot 1.793
1/8 mile E.T. 8.357
1/8 mile MPH 81.98
1/4 mile E.T. 13.137
1/4 mile MPH 103.37

Now the first one was during bracket racing and I had dialed in a 13.06 and the other guy dialed in a 12.23. I was so far ahead of him it was pitiful, and I had to let off at the 1000 foot mark and coast to the line. He ended up running a 12.627.

Now my question is would have ran a better E.T. if I had not let up on the gas and gained my other 5 MPH? Or would it not have made a difference?


By the way here is a time slip from before all the mods I did:
This was my second best run:

60 foot 1.769
1/8 mile E.T. 8.232
1/8 mile MPH 82.31
1/4 mile E.T. 12.989
1/4 mile MPH 103.81

So why am I about .15 off? Probably just the weather? it was about 15 degrees warmer. It was around 50-60 last night.

Check out my 60 foot times on the last one. 1.769 on stock suspension and Nitto 555r's with 18" wheels up front. Then I went and spent $1600 on suspension and Drag wheels only to run worse and run a 1.777 60 foot time. Kinda sucks huh!

 

Youlost in the 1/8th which is where your problem is. You can let off a 100' befroe the end and you will still et good if your 60' and 1/8th mi. are good. It could be weather but you cahnged alot of things at once so it's hard to say. Just going from dragradials to et streets could have hurt your 1/8th mile times. You need to look for knock retard by scanning under WOT, exhaust leak or some reason why you may have lost a little down low. The I would go back and try it with drag radials too. I have heard of cars with around 290rwhp slow down with et's over drag radials. Keep us posted and try knocking down those 1/8th mi. times and you will be running faster and BTW I think people spend more time and money to make bolton cars fast than if they would just do heads, cam tuning and nitrous IMO.

I agree Clint, but the mods I do I will need when I lay down some serious HP.

Just need to make some more RWHP I beleive.
