got some times with the 227 cam and yank 3200

Weather= 73* with 87% humidity

Elevation= 1250'

Best Run= 1.834 60' 8.21@84.59 in the 1/8 and 12.87@105.68 in the 1/4

All this on STREET tires at 32 psi...

i thought i would run a little better but i am happy with the 60's...
i tried launching at 2k once and i spun at least 30' so i then started launching from idl and 60's just kept getting better...

Put a tire on it so that you can launch it hard and watch the ets fall.

21 mph gain in the last half doesn't seem right. Check the trans fluid? How is it shifting?

no
the 21 mph gain was between the 1/8 mile and 1/4mile speeds

with a 60 hp shot # 30 jet dead off idol in front of maf
1.887 in 60
8.256@85.75 in 1/8
12.802@108.36in 1/4
that's 22.61 mph diffrence between the 1/8 and the 1/4 mile speeds


take the time to let some air out of your tires and pump up the fronts to max, it will help
