Default Could I have hit 10's??

Last night I went to the local track to try out the car since I just had it tuned on wed. and to try out the new slicks that I got from John at M&H I only ran 3 times, the first run was on low boost and not a good 60', second was the best but missed 4th gear and on the third the clutch slipped like bitch and I barely made it home, its time for a twin disk I guess. This was ran with 25 psi of boost on my full street car. Well here is the times from the timeslip.
r/t ... .160
60' ... 1.763
330 ... 4.887
1/8 ... 7.299
mph ... 104.68
1000 ... 9.503
1/4 ... 11.367
mph ... 122.74

judging from your 60ft and trap times, i think you can go just a little deeper into 11's . Change your clutch and see what happens. was this on 24's ?

you need to shed some weight it sounds like
lighter cars with less HP are running the same times
a little weight taken off goes a long way .. But it looks like you are doing good 1.7 60' is nothing to complain about

I actually beg to differ. However i do agree that you could probably shed some weight, even tho i dont know how much the car weighs yet . Comming from experience, if you can get your 60's down to 1.70-1.72's, and your 330's down to 4.70-4.75's, you should have just enough power to get 10.90's@128-129 or so, depending on your weight. Again, i say this from experience, now get everything fixed up and get back to the track!

Look at your time/speed at the 1/8th:

7.299
104.68

Then look at your time/speed at the 1/4:

11.3
122.74

You flatened out, and only gained 18 mph. If you trap speed was about 130 I would say you would have been real close. Though it is difficult to say for sure with a faulty clutch man. Get the new one in and running, then see how that holds up. But even if it was going on you, the low end of things look promising. Need to get that top end up to match.

To give you and example, one time I had a shitty as launch and everything up to the 1/8 th. My times at the 1/8th were:

8.309@86.96

My times at the 1/4 mile were:

12.197@134.85. Was able to get that turbo spooling and making that power back for me that I pissed away at the start.

The main reason I didnt gain much more speed was cause of me missing 4th gear. I was just curious to see if I could have it a 10 that night. Thanx guys.
