49984, RE: 1/4 mile time.. what to expect?? Posted by Strauss, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Well, Nitrous RS1997 hit it right on the head. I was running a built bottom end with stock injectors. Boost was spiking to about 12-13psi and settling to about 11psi. I was running BFG G-force drag radials on my 17" wheels at the time. The track I run at is only about 50ft. above sea level and being that I live in upstate NY, hot weather was not an issue. If I had slicks, I would have been in the 12's, no doubt.....I was spinning the shit out of my tires. The best 60' I could muster was a 2.15 and I ran 13.66@115.9mph on that run. That was my best trap speed, but I also ran a 13.528@106.7. The reason my trap was lower on that run was I powershifted into fourth gear and got compressor surge since my BOV didn't vent. My car studdered for a quick sec then pulled off. That day I had 2 other passes besides the 2 mentioned above: 14.09@113.5mph with a 2.379 60' and 14.20@114.13mph with a 2.456 60'. It's all in getting the car off the line, and shifting like lightning :)
