1/8th mile times 5-18-07....
 

Went to the track last friday for the first time on my new big & littles w/ BFG DR's. I need more practice with them. The first time up it was dead hook off the line but then she bogged and ended up 2.2 60ft.

Then I tried slipping the clutch more and it spun off the line but didnt bog and went 8.57 w/ 2.1 60ft @84mph. That was the best run of the night but not even close to what it should be running. There is definately at least a 7.60 in this car if I can get the 60ft's down. Just need practice I guess. Kept getting killed by some bolt on mach1 cause he was launching better and was even on street tires. One of my buddies ran a 8.06 with an 03 GT bone stock motor. He has k member, coilovers, strange adjustables, UCA's & LCA's, and cuts 1.60 60ft's. Making me look bad out there.

not bad at all for ur first time... for my first time i took my 6er to the 1/8th in the begining of '06 and ran... 60ft. = 2.416...10.461@69.55mph not that our times are comparable at all, but this is the first time i saw someone post times for an 1/8th..and it reminded me i had slips for that, lol. but yeaa haven't been back to the strip since :(

its all about practice,practice,practice....youll get it man!

heck yeaa. it does take some gettin' use to that's for sure...i just don't wanna rag out my DD at the strip...and i haven't gotten any mods besides a chip since then...but i'm gettin' gears soon so i'm sure that'll warrant another trip to the strip!

nice looking ride you have there. looks like the same wheel/tire combo I have. What 60ft times are you getting with them?

I guy I know has a 79' Malbu that runs low 5's thru the 1/8. Its cool!!!!!

damn, he could get there, and back before i could just get there, lol :worship2:

It the most awesome thing,wheel stands for 220 feet. 596 Big Block thats some where around 1100hp w/o the bottle.

:boink:

Your biggest problem is trying to launch on 3.27 gears. You need more gear so you can leave hard and not bog. I know i had the same problem when i first got my nitto drags on i was bogging like crazy. Its time ot save up and regear that car with atleast 3.73's but if you like drag racing 4.10's are much better.

heck yea! they'll be here tuesday as a matter of fact, lol. i ordered motive 3.73's, a motive bearing kit, and a couple qt.'s of royal purple gear lube. if AM carried the 7.5" t-lok i woulda ordered it that from them too...but they don't, and AMEmilie just said that alot of ppl have to request them for them to carry'em....so i'll prolly just order it from jegs.com....v6mustangstuff.com has them for 200, but i've nvr ordered from them, or know anyone that has, so i'll prolly just pay the 30 extra at jegs, and get "free" shipping. :breakdancesmilie:
