i was doing a 13.81@100 with 8lbs street trim.. my idea was to run 12lbs, different tires(happened to be worse than the other time), no rear bumper, no front/rear seats, straigh dp... think about this guys.. i'm running hx rims with stock firestone tires.. i pull up to the line.. first run.. i take off first and im spinning the tires.. cant get traction so i'm kinda pumping the gas to maybe get traction.. same thing thrgouh second.. kinda through 3rd and i finally catch.. i finish the track and i pull up to get my slip... this is what came out..
reaction-.584
60ft-2.244
1/8th-8.784
mph-87.42
1/4-13.359
mph-106.38

second run comes up.. the car has blowby already by the way.. no biggey.. i have an extra motor in the garage.. died once.. idled funny.. i didn't care.. so anyways.. pulled up to the line... great lauch.. great 1/8th.. a tad bit after the 1/8th, the car bogs to hell and blah... heres what the slip reads...

reaction-.4something
60ft-2.181
1/8th-8.712
mph-85.73
1/4-13.54
mph-92.33

so as you can see.. that run was a 12 second run.. i passed the 1/8th about 75 ft or so already going 100mph.. then coasted cuz the car wouldn't pick up anymore.. 92 mph.. oh wells.. turbo is still fine.. swapping things over today.. hehe... over to a vx swap.. my back-up.. i'm going to put my z6 im, gsr tb, z6 tranny, act clutch, and turbo kit over into the vx motor and run like 7lbs or something.. thanks for reading this long stupid post .. i will have a video of both runs soon.. thanks..

i dont see that 2.1 60 ft = 12s in the other end. the difference in the 60fts is minimal at best. 1/2 a 2/10th would have been 1/10th at the other end. could have been low low 13s but not 12s. MPH is good, should invest in DRs or slicks then its 12s easy.

 

nah.. i think i woulda hit a 12.. as i said, like right when i hit the 1/8th mark my car was dying out already.. it woulda been a 12 second run.. 13.5@95.. im pretty confident i woulda hit a 12 with that setup.. but hey.. oh wells right... it's a thing in the past.. right now my setup is the same cept for the swap.. it's a mini-me right now.. pulls agihts.. its extremly torquless .. haha.. anyways.. bump

 

if you didnt hit a 12 w/ your first pass 1/8 mile MPH of 87, you wouldnt hit the 12 w/ your second pass 1/8 mile MPH of 85.

i can say i would hit a 12 all day but my #'s dont add up just like yours.

also its hard to understand but i think you were trying to say you were going 100mph seventy five feet past the 1/8 mile marker on your 2nd run? haha...how are you going to pick up 15mph 75ft past the marker w/ your setup? ****, at that pace you would have been hitting about 140+ by the 1/4.....hahahhaahaaa

 

haha.. you got me there.. but like i was saying.. it all happened so fast.. it's like right when i past the 1/8th it was dying out on me.. i got it to like 98 mph or so and when i said like 75 ft i was exagerating about how far past i was the 1/8th.. but i mean.. 13.5@95...?? its okay though.. just thought i'd share my times...

 

hmm why wasnt your last car that fast with 10 psi? in a hatch

im totoally impressed w/ those times, dont get me wrong. i was just going by the #'s, and good ones at that. congrats!

 

We'll never know if this was a 12's run but normally, to expect running high 12's you have to run around 8.3 on the 1/8 mile.

 

Eli, congratulations on those passes. If you could possibly improve those 60' s to at least 2.0, that would be money in the bank for you. Good Luck.

 

good runs eli. thumbs up to my homie. good race with your new motor. should come back and try it again. hahahhaha...

 

haha.. thanks guys.. my new motor isn't as tight as the other, but hey.. it was fun right.. lemme bump it to 12lbs again so i can race your *** and i'll show you what my car can do and what will happen when you lose with your nawzz....

 

you sure I'm gonna lose? remember, I'm only using a weak 50 shot. and I don't even have all the bolt-ons. running on a crap tranny. Plus all this in my heavy tank(3000lbs+).

 

muhahahahahahahaha..

 

I'm ready for you as always. hahahahahahhahahaha...
