Default new best time

i went last night to famoso raceway, it was really busy so i only ran 3 times in 6 hours. first run i ran a 13.6 at 102 with a 2.0 60 foot. second 13.7 at 102 with a 2.1 60 foot. and last one 14.0 at 101 because i missed third gear. wish i could get more runs and not spin as much as i did. with a 1.8 60 foot it should be 13.20s so on the 23rd im hoping to get better times.

Those are some great times! Mine runs 13.68@102 w/ 2.05 60', and I have full bolt ons. A stickier tire than a Nitto is going to bog the car off the line, unless you launch it off the limiter. I just had a built rear with 4.10's done, so on a M/T et street radial I plan to be around a 13.0 - 13.10. I'm not sure you'll get a 13.20 with stock gears, but good luck!

i have 4.10's. if i leave at 4000 rpm and slide it out it shouldnt spin or bog but first i need to find those drag radials. here's video of that night with lots of different cars mine come around 1:25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8DoFp2RINo

So with the amount of power your car is making, 4.10's, and nittos you should be quicker than those 13.6's. My cars at 266/300 SAE and 271/303 STD. On 3.27's and street tires I went 13.68. Race weight was 3525lbs. For some reason I though you had 3.27's. You should be able to get those 13.20's on some M/T ET street radials. I'm shooting for a 13.0 with the 4.10's and M/T radials.
