New times what do you think?

I was at the M7 event this past weekend and used my 28x10.5 ET Drags for the first time. This was my third time to the track this season, and I only had 4 runs total the first two times.

Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 Run 5 Run 6 Run 7
60' 1.906 1.849 1.814 1.885 1.839 1.795 1.795
330' 5.458 5.309 5.292 5.337 5.626 5.261 5.268
1/8 ET 8.273 8.096 8.082 8.12 8.632 8.084 8.061
1/8 MPH 87.63 88.52 88.33 88.48 83.66 87.14 88.26
1000 10.677 10.48 10.467 10.507 11.12 10.509 10.45
1/4 ET 12.708 12.498 12.484 12.526 13.206 12.554 12.537
1/4 MPH 110.32 111.2 111.56 111.09 108.29 109.05 104.51


Run 5 I messed up on the 2nd gear shift, run 6 I ran through the traps in 3rd gear instead of shifting into 4th, and run 7 I messed up the shift into 4th.

I believe I need a new fuel pump because my pressure was dropping by 8-10 psi when I went WOT. So I am looking at getting the Racetronix unit.

The launches were done by dumping the clutch at different RPM's 4600, 5000, 5400, 5800, & 6000.

Great runs Chad!!!!!
I think that you need to try Rods 26-11.50x16 ET streets. That would add power on the low end and get you into fourth gear way sooner. Rod has pulled 1.53 60's on them!!!
Check out my new best in a post here.
I haven't changed my sig yet.

Thanks Al. I will most likely find some 16" stock rims and get some of those tires or some Convo Pros in 15" with the ET streets for next year. I ordered my Racetronix pump last night and that should be here in a week or so.

Congrats on the new time. You are making it tough on me.

My race weight was 3700lbs with me (205) in the car.

That's quite an 1/8 MPH you have there Jeremy.
