Going to the track tonight

[Soul]

Its test and tune tonight, hopefully nothing breaks and I bust out a good time. Finally got miles on it and carb stuff straightened out.

Btw running 1/8 mile hoping for low 8's.

BTW -- Hope you're home by now with some numbers. Everything stay together? Inquiring minds need to know!

I had the same thoughts guys, but I figured if he didn't run home and put them up he must have been dissappointed.

Sorry for the delay got home late that night and had to do some roofing sat and sun.

Best run of the night was a 9.33 with a 1.58 reaction (this is my first time at the track and hadn't figured out the tree)
Ran a bunch of 9.66's with all kinds of reaction times, had an issue where my tach would fly up to 4500 and stick so was granny shifting it for fear of over reving it. Going into second the tires would break loose and spin for a bit, walking sideways, and then chirp going into 3rd. Had a bunch of people come look under my hood saying, "That thing is making some power to break the tires loose, if you can figure out the tree you should be in the 8's" Was a bunch of 6 second cars down there that night. Over all I'm happy but need to learn to drive lol. I think what is killing me the most is the 2400 stall converter, I tried taking off the line with it reved a bit, anything above 2000 = sit and smoke tires.

Want to go faster but everything is on hold, this job is running out of time and looks like I'm gonna be moving for another job :S been parting stuff out to pay off bills so I have clean start.

[MalcolmV8]

How do those times convert from 1/8th to 1/4 mile times?

[Soul]

Pretty poorly actually, looks like an 8 second is a 12 and a 9 is a 14 second. Would like to think I was faster than that but blah.

[MalcolmV8]

Gotta remember 1/4 mile or 1/8th mile racing is a lot more than just power. There's tires and suspension etc. for launching blah blah etc. I bet your truck runs great.
