Hit up Island Dragway this past Sunday. Turned out to be a wonderful day for racing, not too many cars and a nice cool day. I got about 10 runs in, the car ran like a gem, new bosch fuel pump that I got from Tony1 worked great all day.

Some video of a few runs... (two sources, same video)

I think the car still has a lot more in it... The stock clutch seems to be slowly wearing itself out and may be time for an upgrade. I also need more seat time, as you can tell from the videos, the limiter comes up pretty fast. Unfortunately, I just dropped about $1800 on tuition/books for my last semester at college, so that put a hole in my pocket.

Car ran a best of 11.92@114.1 with a 1.7 60ft. cars weighs about 1760 w/o me in it.



Besides the obvious new clutch and LSD, just curious to know if there is anything else I could do to improve my times. I was launching the car around 7k-7500 rpm with about 7.5-8psi in the slicks (23x8x13 M&H). It still needs to be fine-tuned, as I am currently running a map that my friend got from going to Evans Tuning. Thanks for any advice/tips that are supplied.

bout time this thing hit the track...nice times ...just get those 60fts down and get a full tune from Jeff Evans im sure your times will drop a lot...man that car is just as light as mine

 

when you did your tune, was it on a dyno? or just some seat tuning?

On second thought, no. LOL. The rear looks fine, it's just that I couldn't tell from the earlier pics, sorry about that and good luck!!

correct, i am using my friends map that he got from going to evan's tuning. (btw, his motor made 230/160 on a stock k20a2 with RBC manifold.) its obviously not fine tuned for my setup but it's working out fine for now.
