you guys are going to laugh at me. it's been about 1.5yrs since i've been to the track & well, lets just say it shows on my 1st run. I swapped out my 17s for my 14's (a 14/60/195 tire) small little thing. Basically launched @ 4K rpms and it seemed as if i was sitting on the line warming up my tires. Tire smoke everywhere...lol. here is the result of my first run; i think i hold the record now for slowest run with a turbo:
R/T - -.148 60' - 3.040 (spinning tires all through 3rd gear...badly) 1/8 - 12.371 1/4 - 18.589!!!!! @ 81.02mph
Well, 2nd run I got the wheel spin a little under control, but i was still spinning through 2nd gear, so the result was not decent, but much better than my 1st..(what isn't):
R/T - 1.345 (Fell asleep on this one) 60' - 2.726 1/8 - 10.677 1/4 - 16.188 @ 88.96mph
my 3rd run was similar to the 2nd, so i'll leave it out. Finally on my last run, i was able to get the wheel spin under control, however this is because i launched @ about 2500 rpms, and i bogged the car, but still decent time:
R/T - .672 60' - 2.526 1/8 - 10.088 1/4 - 15.480 @ 89.21
I think I would have hit a high 14, if i hadn't bogged the car. I tried getting in another run, because 15.4 is my new best, and I was pumped to get another run, but the track closed before I got the chance. On that last run, I heard a BIG POP sound underneath my car as I crossed the finish line and I saw it on the track as I rolled away from it, but didnt know what it was since it was already dark, and I thought i broke something, but the car seemed just fine. When I pulled to the pits, I noticed my air filter popped right out. It stayed on the runway..lol. I will hit a 14 on my stage 1 next time!
