FINALLY a good run. timeslips

[therod785]

Finally had a chance to run. My first time at the track was a disaster. It was about 45deg and street tires.

Now I have the right tires and it was a good 71 degrees last night.

Engine:
2018 MANIFOLD W/ MMR LOCKOUTS
47LBS INJECTORS

Ran a 12.04 and a 12.03. Those were the best out of 4 runs.


First run was 12.5. Spun 3rd and had to let off.


Question is, Is my car running what it should?

I would say you are close. I would have guessed 118-120mph trap speeds. 60ft needs A lot of work but with practice that will come. Good job.

1.8 is best I could do that night.

How can I lower it on 3.15s and auto trans?

Surprised your spinning ET Street R at your power level. Poor track prep if I had to guess. What was your psi? I am usually around 18psi on mine.

Anyway to answer your question:
3.55 or 3:73 gear swap
Circle D converter

LoL. Thought you meant I could improve 60ft with current mod . I know I ca. Improve with more parts.

My track is known for bad prep and wrecks. My first run was bad. Spun off the line then 1-2 and 2- 3. PSI was 29. After that run I lowered to 20 PSI. Hooked well after that.

29psi WOW. Try 18psi. Give a good burnout and they should dead hook. What rpm are you launching at?

 

[therod785]

I lowered it to 20psi and gripped well.

Launching at 1500. I wanted to go higher but had to leave. Wake up early to take kid to schoo . =/

118 mph is good for mid 11's. Get that 60 ft down and your et should improve drastically.

Converter will put you in low to mid 11’s. Dude just ran 10’s n/a (basically your setup) with weight reduction. Check out his thread.

 

[therod785]

which one?

Congrats on your PB but I would of expected more. I went 11.86 on Ford's PP2 tune with a manual.

Forgot to mention, DA on best time was about 1500

 

[LETHAL]

Neg or close to zero DA, higher launch rpm and knock that 60 ft down a few tenths and you should have a 11.20-11.40 or slightly better.

11.2-11.4 on 118 MPH is possible, but car has to launch in the 1.5-1.6 60ft range to accomplish that along with the better DA.

As for OP, I think 11.8 is very achievable with the current setup, maybe playing with tire pressures and launch technique to get you into the 1.7x range on the 60ft
