Ok go easy on me, I only bought my 02 in March of 02 and started running it with a Chip that had ""1 degree of timing advance"" and a A/F of hi 10's to low 11's

My Track Runs

These runs were with 2lb upper, 4lb lower, + TR6 Plugs
ON F-1's


9/21/02 my 1st attempt EVER (Mid 80’s, NO COOL DOWN)
1.942 60ft 1/8= 8.551 @81.444 MPH 1/4= 13.356 @101.875.
1.983 60ft 1/8= 8.629 @81.311 MPH 1/4= 13.445 @101.790.

9/28/02 my 2nd attempt (Mid 80’s, NO COOL DOWN)
1.873 60ft 1/8= 8.510 @81.039 MPH 1/4= 13.368 @100.568
1.903 60ft 1/8= 8.507 @80.391 MPH 1/4= 13.369 @100.718

10/05/02 "NEW CHIP PROGRAM" (Low 80’s, NO COOL DOWN)
1.974 60ft 1/8=8.497 @83.577 MPH 1/4= 13.198 @104.577
2.018 60ft 1/8=8.565 @83.166 MPH 1/4= 13.285 @103.894

10/18/02 WE WON'T TALK ABOUT THIS, I MELTED 3 PLUGS AND NEVER STOPPED AT THE BOOTH FOR MY SLIP

Put Denso IT-22's in
AND TOOK OFF MY 2lb UPPER PULLEY
10/27/02 (Mid 60’s, 30 Minute Cool Down)
1.906 60ft 1/8=8.264 @85.457 MPH 1/4= 12.852 @106.470

Go figure, I take away Torque + Horse Power, put a Colder Plug in, and WAM, I knock off over 3/10ths of a second over my best time. “IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I LET IT COOL DOWN” ???
Dam I wish I had my Upper on to see what it would have ran now that I finally got rid of the TR-6's

New times coming April 12th @ Cecil
"MODS SINCE MY 12.8 RUN"
28” x 10 (16") C07 compound Hoosier's for Traction, PSP Truck Trak Bars for Launching, JJ’s Plasma Booster for a nice strong multi Spark ignition, LFP’s Accu-Fab for better flow, and the 2-3 Upper goes back on for more hp + torque, (on top of the 4lb lower of course)

AND MAYBE JUICE

Considering I knocked a full second off it's stock Spec's in 7 weekends "I think I did good for my 1st season"

Of course this season will start a 1/2 second quicker "I hope" ?
Then I'll build from there.

 

I went from a 13.4 to a 12.20!

 

First time was with a chip, filter and boost by pass. Went 13.1 w/ a 1.9X 60FT(300 miles, 80* temps and humid Oct 01). Best so far as been a 12.43@108.XX w/ a 1.80 60FT(17,000miles cool weather day Oct02). This season I plan on getting some slicks.....maybe even some skinnes for up front, upper pulley and a plasma booster. I think a motor and blower are in my future. Maybe some nitrous also or instead. Oh the plans the plans. HaHa. I want to wish everyone a safe and happy racing season. Goodluck. -Mat-

 

oct 01 13.7 to oct 02 11.9

 

First run was mid July, ran 13.65.
Oct. ran 12.38

Full lengths are going on as we speak, well not now because I am sitting here on the puter.

 

****ing V got to always come in and show us how his is
bigger and better


Am I the only idiot that would drive to the track in the heat of the day, tech it, run the A/C in the staging lanes, make two passes, and leave the track in less than 1/2 an hour ???

When I finally let it cool A LITTLE I got my first 12 sec run.
Thats why I put 4" ram air in it now, and I want juice,
cold air is wonderful and I have NO PATIENCE
I NEED NITROUS

 

Ronbo,

I am going to be looking at so many taillights this year (except RTKILLAS HEHEHE,) I am thinking about starting from the burnout box.

Doug, I would start on them 10 second club stickers.


VINNIE

 

13.8 July 01 to 11.9 in early 02!

 

All I can guarantee is, my last run of the season

Will be FASTER

than my first run of the season

 

about 1/2 second with most of the mods in my sig but no traction and no real dragracing experience.

next season: more traction + more experience + less weight (slimfast ) = mid-low 12s.

 

Went 13.53@103 bone stock
Mods chip pulley coldair went best to date of 12.94 @105.

Got some new mods and going to get some different programs hopefulley go 12.5 or faster and beable to pick up 3-4mph would be nice also.

 

In june 00,i took my truck to the track with 300 miles on the odometer with 373 gear that i had the dealer install.
The weather was nasty with temps in the low 90's and humidity in the high 80's.
She ran 13.90s and one 13.80's.
Nex't mods were hitch and spare delete, t/b,pro-m,lean chip and et streets and she was able to run a best of 12.79@108 and mostly 12.80's-90's in air up to low 80''s.
Thousands of dollars later,i have touched 11's and of course want 10's:...only time will tell
