New best tonight

**Martin0660** · 05-21-2009, 12:41 AM

I have been sneaking up on the tune with this new combo. Put a little more boost in it tonight (21 psi), and was on a new set of slicks. Every incriment was new bests for the car on this pass (except 1/4 MPH). Still struggling with down track boost but sneaking up on that too.

60' - 1.62
330' - 4.91
1/8th - 7.71
1/8th - 78.60 MPH
1000' - 10.21
1/4 - 12.30
1/4 - 108.62 MPH.

There still inst much timing in the thing, and I'm boost limited until I get another set of injectors (72#'s). I think the timing will help me with the boost down track.

car looked good bob. i didnt have much luck with mine though. i hate t5's

**97LaserRed** · 05-21-2009, 11:31 AM

Awesome! Love the 60' anybody have videos?

**Martin0660** · 05-21-2009, 01:56 PM

Thanks everyone. It's far from tuned, but finally starting to run as expected for where it's at. At least the MAF conversion is right on and the car is leaving now.

Chuck -Saw one of your passes, car looked good. Heads up.... I got to do something about that :D

Rick - I didn't see you run much, what was the issue? Got to tolerate the T5's, not much choice for me.

Brian - Nobody I know was taping. I would love to see my second pass on tape as it went left hard on the launch, then again when I pulled second. 2 more #'s in the RR bag fixed it, but it was a fun ride

Track was amazing last night for a TnT night, lots of hook on the line.

Nice Bob! Is the 1/8 mph correct it seems low

Sort of typical for me. I have a 3-4 shift that happens between the 1/8th MPH beam and the 1/8th ET clock. It messes with that combo at times. If I spin, I shift quicker and it lines up better. To race 1/8th mile I have to go across the stripe in third against the limiter. If I actually run 1/8th mile then the package matches up better.

It's funny if I play with the Wallace Calcultors. If I enter that 1/8th package it nails the 1/4 MPH, but predicts a better 1/4 ET. I'm still just speed shifting this now so that likely explains the ET.

Your 1/4 Mile ET is 12.11 seconds computed from your vehicle 1/8th ET of 7.71 seconds.
Your 1/4 Mile MPH is 108.62 MPH computed from your vehicle 1/8th MPH of 87.60 MPH.

Car was looking good lastnight Bob. I'd say it will push 11's once sorted out. Also first time I can ever remember the traction around starting line being that good on a TnT. I know I managed a 1.59

Thats not what Chuck wanted to hear...lol. I thought it was pretty good to, however my car will 60' good on any track.

**CobraII** · 05-22-2009, 05:49 PM

No, it is not.

See the 60's above. My best ever before full slicks was a 1.67, with 1.68-1.69 typical. There is still a ton left in mine now. Slicks rule ;)

Well if Chuck would stop roasting the crap out of the mickeys and let a few more pounds of air out(try 15). I had to keep adding air to my slicks and sixties dropped each time I added air.

**Martin0660** · 05-22-2009, 06:04 PM

I was real happy with the track for a tnT. I actually would have liked for it to be a little more greasy and really saw what the new tires where worth.

Chuck - Have you had anyone tape your launches? Get rid of them radials and get some race tires :D I'm a convert for sure.
