Well, after taking off the sway bra I have finally broke the elusive 9 sec zone in the 1/8th mile!!! I know it's not fast, per say, but I'm making progress.
Previous best was a 9.05 w/one wheel only pushing. For some reason my traction-loc decided to cooperate and heated the tires relatively decent. Launch was approximately 14/1500. Tire pressure 17psi. Anything above 2000rpm and the track wouldnt hold the tires. This should = sub 14sec 1/4 mile times. Not bad w/basically stock motor.
Sunshine Speedway. Pinellas Park, FL. Temp: mid to high 80's. Humidity: THICK!!
R/T .794 (on a sportsman tree.)
60' 1.982 (first sub 2.0 sec 60'
)
1/8th 8.94 @77.04 miles per hour
This was on a relatively hot motor. Had run 3 runs back to back prior. After cool down of hour or so backed it up w/a 8.97.
