Used to run 5.4x @ 127-128, @ 3220 I just don't see 114 getting you 5.9s.. and that was with low 1.3 60' times, but then again i was a nitrous car vs. this being a turbo car...

when I get home I'll check my old slips.

good luck with it.

Scott, if you hadn't hit the rev limiter, you would have had more MPH.

Thanks Aaron, it's getting there and the cooler weather is almost here so going to the track will be more frequent.

Correct, maybe 1 -2 more mph at the most and also a 5.9x.

I should set my car to about 10lbs of boost and go 6.5o racing.

Congrats on the MPH... Sucks that the 60' was so off man! Looks like the 60's that I was cutting on the IRS Cobra! YUCK!

Dial her in man, and bust up some deep 9's brother! Good luck!

Scott, I think the reason of your 60fts not getting better is due to the track prep. Ever since they re-paved it I can't get the 60fts I used to. I had 3YR OLD slicks that would go 1.56-1.58 and now with the same setup and brand new slicks I struggle to get a 1.61-1.67. Actually I even went to a softer front spring and got more weight transfer but still no improvement. I used to launch at 6800-7100rpms and now anything over 6500 and it spins. For me, I'm going to try and put some ballast in the rear of the car and see if that works. Talk to Wade and ask him if they changed anything. -Mark
