I wonder if 8.2s are possible with M/T radials and a stall.

 

Hey just wanted to give a bit of an update. I went to the quarter mile track this past weekend up here in Oklahoma. I was rather pleased with how my car ran. I am at about 1300 feet of elevation, but the weather was pretty good that night. Temperature was in the mid 60s with a dew point of mid 40s.

Anyways, I had a bit of trouble hooking up at the track. Seems every half hour somone's car would puke thier guts out all over the groove so that made for a difficult time hooking up. My car is also a PIG now with the 17x11s. I weighed in at 3735 pounds with my 220 pound *** in it (and my spare and jack removed!!). Quickest ET that night was a 13.71@100.90 with a 2.10 60'. Not too bad I don't think as the car seems to be making good power, just weighs too much. I have an adjustable TA in the mail that should be here this Thursday and I'm going to the track again this Friday. I bet if I get my 60' in the 1.90 range, I'll be in the 13.50s maybe? I'll let ya know how it goes.

 

Not a bad time, I'm curious to see what your car can do with the torque arm installed. I just installed my adjustable torque arm a couple of weeks ago and it made a noticable difference. I am wondering what that would equate to on the track.

 

Did you get the adjustable T/A and get it installed? Was looking forward to seeing you at the track Friday, but the rain messed up everything. It is still raining and I think the bracket race for today is probably cancelled. I'm currently tied for 2nd place in the points and was hoping to improve this weekend.

I'm looking forward to seeing you run again and the 13.71 was great! Also, I want to show you my Z28.

I sure did get it and it looks great! It is the tranny mounted one as I really am not making enough power to need the chassis mounted TA. Due to the rain, I have not had a chance to mount it up, but tomorrow is looking like a good day to do it!

About the track day, looks like since we didn't do it this weekend, I won't be able to do it at all because I more than likely will be going back to Houston the 16th.
