I have been trying to get the suspension dialed in to be able to launch on the bottle. The last 2 times at the track I have been cutting 1.59-1.60 60's on motor and 1.6-1.7 on the jug.

This wwekend we packed up and went to San Antonio Raceway for the F-body vs Mustang Shootout. The only change to the car was increasing the LCA angle.

First pass was NA

1.6008 60' dead hooked...no spin, shudder, just left
4.6565 330'
7.2423 1/8 ET
94.28 1/8 MPH
9.4879 1000'
11.3859 1/4 ET
119.08 1/4 MPH

For qualifying it was time to open the bottle. Set the progressive to zero delay and full activation on launch. But only had 900-950psi in the bottle

the car responded with
1.4991 60'
4.3251 330'
6.6982 1/8 ET
103.78 1/8 MPH
8.7445 1000'
10.4812 1/4 ET
129.91 1/4 MPH

The car picked up .904 seconds and added 10.83 MPH on a 150 shot

For the next pass I got the bottle up to the proper 1050 PSI

1.5719 60"
4.3850 330'
6.7430 1/8 ET
104.38 1/8 MPH
8.7767 1000'
10.5057 1/4 ET
130.74 1/4 MPH

All in all had a good trip to the track as I set new PB for NA 1/4 MPH, and all NX times.

 

Very nice.

Hard running car. I love nitrous!

 

I was the #2 qualifier and then in the first round of elim's..... completed my burn out, purged the kit and the bottle was empty...only had 3 passes on a 10# bottle ...needless to say I lost.

The #3 mustang was running 9.9's...#1 ran a 8.50 in qualiying

should have some pics and video later in the week

 

finnally got some pics

 

Nice times. Awesome pics, too.

 

Maybe if you had new back tires instead of those old wrinkled ones you could go even faster.

 

Thanks for the new background.

Nice car and nice times. props to ya on the work.

 

Looks like she riding out. Looks at the rears wrinkle up!.
