Most days I run 7.7's and 7.8's for my 1/8 mile splits. This is at 87-89mph. At 94 you should be in the very low 7 second range for ET in the 1/8.
Your 383 stroker motor only runs 87-89mph in the 1/8? With just mods in the sig on stock heads, my car runs 88mph! And thats on motor, no spray.

It is very possible the timing system is out, but whos to know for sure.

they were supposed to apply traction compound this year but becuase it rained the day before they never got to. Its to bad they didnt cuase with hot ET streets I was spinning well into second.

in the 1/4, on a 100 shot-almost empty bottle(no pressure) I got a 12.900 @ 109.7 and this is at REAL track so this is probably more valid

Running a 12.9 @ 109.7, you would be trapping 85-86 in the 1/8. Their equipment was messed up.

If you were running 94 mph in the 1/8 it would be around 118 mph in the 1/4 or close to it.

so it can be pretty much assumed the equipment was messed up, lol. Oh well, it was fun. I beat this 73 Z28 that apparantly runs 8.00s in the 8th....and he ran a 9.30 to my 8.97...so that goes to show that maybe something was ****ed up.

This weekend I will get some true results the 1/4 mile track here...
