Ran a 10.74 tonight....

Man, I need to learn how to drive......

60 foot 1.553
330 4.477
1/8 6.892
1/8 mph 104.8
1000 8.989
1/4 10.747
mph 129

I only got in one pass before getting kicked out. I bounced off the rev limiter between 2-3-4 gear. Then, when boost finally came on in 4th, the car shot off to the right into the sand and ****........ I then let off the gas, straightned myself out and then hit the gas again.......

It should have been a better pass........

I can't explain how pissed I am at our tech people. I had everything to run 10 flat but.......apparently my seats belts are 3 years old. That's apparently too old. I need to send them back to have them re-cert'd.

Next time, yeah right!

He originally gave me a 11.50 limit because of the seatbelt situation. I went ahead and made a half *** full pass anyway. He chased me down on his scooter and tried to make me look like a jackass. He kicked me out and told me to be ready for him to go over my car with a fine toothed comb next time I show up.

With 104 in the 1/8th it'll be over 130, you should pick up at least 30 mph in the 2nd half so mid 130s probably.

Is gaining 30mph or so after the 1/8th a set rule? I've always heard that.

DAYEM, you went thru some sand and still made a 10s pass. Congrats, I know you wanted better, but that has got to be your best pass, no?

nice run lupe. based on the 1/8 mile ET, you should have ran a 10.57. translation mph based on 1/8mile is around 135mph. not bad for only 455rwhp eh and at 23psi of boost. Wait until we can turn the boost up to 28-29psi. you'll definately notice a big difference. If you want, next time I come around, we can remap everything so that you can shift at 9krpm instead 8krpm.
