Went to the track Wed. got some new #'s
So I was able to clear sometime to go racing Wed. and I got in four runs (between 8.5-8.25),but Ill just post my best time and what my mods are and what changed from last time.
Its a 99' L with 137k on the od riding on Falken Azena 295/40/18" with factory 99' style chrome wheels.
Couple months back I was "stuck" in the 8.6-8.7 range but now.....
Was about mid 60's out with low humidity (for Florida)
R/T -0.029 (I knew I red lit,was more concerned with 60' and was anxious)
60' 1.891
330' 5.366
1/8 8.259
MPH 84.97
Main Mods: 4lbs lower,PaceSetter LT's w/o cats and Bassani exhaust,4:10's,K&N/C&L,NGK TR6IX gapped @.034",160* stat and e-fans,and a built tranny (by me) with FTVB and a stock converter refreshed by PTC.
Minor Mods:Boost bypass,royal purple/K&N w/ about 1700miles on it,PCV delete,fresh coolant w/ water wetter,distilled water and 2 bottles WW in I/C,cleaned the I/C and stripped the rotors on the Eaton about 6K ago,always clean air fileter,MAF sensor and TB. And one product I now use regularly;CRC Belt Dressing on the blower belt.
Added/Changed:made a set of traction bars (may post pics later) with slight preload,QA1 mustang rear shocks I had lying around fit good and was on setting 9 (single adj.) and tires @ 20psi after a massive burn-out rolling from 3rd @ 4500rpms
And don't laugh but I found I only had 13* of timing last time,this time was on 18*
Foot braked it to about 1k and launched hard,felt good with some spin going into 2nd,but otherwise good run.
Was my last run of the night otherwise I could have played around with the shocks/preload/and psi a little more and maybe got into an eight-teen.
Now with-out getting into the short-block or fuel system,whats my next mod that I could pick-up maybe a tenth or two with? I was figuering maybe porting my upper plenum and bower case,and I was also looking at idler pulleis.
