Piss on the ET...this is about bringing home the hardware. I'd add some boost...and pull some low gear timing. Walk around 'em at the 1/8th mark. :rock:

That is awesome! :rock:   How much boost and timing?

Post by: larrym on August 09 2015, 06:17:18 PM
26 psi 21-19  had to dial in an 11:50 so I put the DRs on and left soft ran an 11:39 with a 1.69 60 guess I should have backed the boost off a little.

Congrats on the personal best. Did you let your foot out of it before the traps? At 11.3 I would have expected around 122 MPH.

Congrats on the new best!  Why the low dial in? Not enough test time?

What boost are you leaving at? Sig says not a chip from eric, do you tune same way with the SM? If so what O2'S were you running? Thanks

I left at 8 psi on the slicks I tune with the Gen 2 translator it can control fuel and timing at specific rpm had the wide band correction set at 10.7 but gauge read 10.4 in 3rd

3psi launch on the drag radials.

Awesome pic!  I love that feeling when you either see a pic or a video of you doing something you always thought was cool!

I like turning the corner at the top of the track....power ing down the window...and then telling the guy with the new Mustang that if I were him I'd take it back to the dealer and ask for my money back. :)

Watch the vid...it's a good laugh. I showed up with a pair of 16" DR's to try out. The timing lites were down so they asked us if we wanted to do some Armdrop racing. Oh hell ya! Watch the guy in the Mustang...he didn't wanna go. The starter has to walk over and force him in. Two things to note. Watch me turn my head shortly after launch and call him a candy ass...chicken shit etc I've mentioned Erics 5.7 chip is rich on the default low gear setting. You'll see black smoke pour out the exhaust when I 'pedal' it.

Nice vid!  Had to watch it twice to catch the head turn and then again for the black smoke.
