I went out to the Texas Motorplex again today to watch the street car shootout, but of course that turned into....."Hey, let's make some time trial passes!" :snicker:
Last time my best was a 13.58@104mph on my 1st outing with the car.
New best time today:
13.22@107mph :david:
2.00 60ft
8.56@83mph 1/8
Mod list hasn't changed other than the springs.
JLT Cold Air w/SCT tuner on 93 octane
Pypes axle-backs
255/50-17 Kumhos all around
Ford Racing K Springs
I'm very pleased with the car, and it even backed that run up with a 13.22@106mph later in the day. Had lots of time to try different techniques and launches since the track was a ghost town due to Pinks being in San Antonio. :marc:

she was moving pretty good I think...now if I could just convince my right foot to stay on the gas when shifting into 3rd it might pick up a bit more. I have some kind of "don't break it" mental block with that one :lol:

yea, nice times there Eric.....I was thinking about going back to the track next week. I was installing some new mods this weekend cai w/ sct tuner w/93 octane tune. Was thinking about a new blower, but this is all I could afford for now.

your times look like mine. you mph is awesome but your e.t. is still in the 13s. Hopefully with these 4.10s and MT ET streets mine e.t. will go way down.

I could use some more practice, I'm not as smooth going through the gears as I need to be. I would love to get it down a bit more as it sits, but I don't know if that's possible.
My car has 3.55s, so with 4.10s and the MT/ETs I would think you should be seeing some improvement :mick:

Looks like you should be really close to breaking into the 12s. Are you running street tires? Nice numbers man.
I do like the idea of 4.10s.....but I'm on mod time-out right now :snicker:
