best way to low 12's...

[99bolt]

Last time at the 1/8 I made an 8.6 on f1's & no t-bars at 60*. I'm going for low 12's (1/4).
How can I drop (at least) 6/10th's off my 1/8 times. I can't afford a built block right now. But a S/C (MP) might be within reach.

I'm running a ported eaton w/4# and other small stuff. What would the cheapest way to go? :??: I already have VB on order. Thanks

P.S. I also want to avoid blowing up the motor till I can afford another one.

Traction Bars, slicks, tune, ported blower, 4 or 6 lb lower, cold air, vb, i dont know maybe somebody else can help

he said he has a ported blower with a 4#...you could always spray...

About the T-bars... Would lakewoods be ok? Or would I do better with 58" T-bars.

That would probably put me at higher risk of blowing it up... :nono:
..wouldn't it?

depending on how much u spray, dont go crazy but a 100shot should be find. you can aslo get a kb..but then you would want a built motor before you can really get what the KB can do.

With traction bars, lakewoods are ok IMO. I have a set on my truck and they are working out. I would much rather have 58" bars though. From what everything that uses the 58" bars say, its a big difference over the lakewoods.

I have dipped into the 11's with Lakewoods and Slicks.

yea but dont you have cams andhead work??? hey Pimp have you heard about Metco's pulley kit at chickenears, and if so does it have any REAL gains or is it worthless?

I haven't given it any thought actually. I don't know :shrug:

OK, I have a silly question but how would T-bars give you better 1/4 times?? :dw:

help keep rear planted, traction is everything you can all the power in the world but if you cant plant it, it aint going NO WHERE

 

[99bolt]

I want to leave the juice as a last resort. Like to do a high 11 pass.
If I install my lakewoods and get some 28" slicks I think it would take maybe 2 tenths off. How can I get that last 4/10th's off.
Would a C&L plenum/SBTB and/or E-Fan help me any? What about a 2500 RPM Stall? I know somene who can make me one. I also plan to do a retune and add a 104/103 octane tune to it.

Yeah, thats what i thought. thanks man. :coolman:

juice it 50 shot and 4lb lower with good tune will put you right where u want to be.

Nitrous... seems like a lot to pay for a track use only mod. I don't go to the track all that much. Maybe once every couple of weeks. Maybe even less once I get to where I want to be. I need something more street friendly, (daily use) mods.

 

[Jesse@MBRP]

a four pounder with the right conditions can get you into the 12's. Thats plently fast for a street driven vehicle. Adding N2O to the mix for the track only helps give you that extra 'edge' when you need it for the track and the street. I am in favor of using it. I had a 75 shot on my truck at one time but never hit the button, after the built block comes you better believe that I will have a 75 shot on there again.

Get a KB and your there. Nothing else. Keep it pullied for no more than 15 #'s. With the KB@15#,ftvb, Nitto's, Slappers, PSP cold air, Efan. I ran 12.02 @ 115mph. No other mods on 93 octane. I bought a TB after that and ran 11.86 @ 115.8. If you look at the cost of all the parts you need to get a ported Eaton or a MP to run Hi 11's or Low 12's It all even's out. Just the fact of have a completely stock exhaust Makes the KB the same price as a MP. And MP don't make any power til they are over 20# of boost.

 

[99bolt]

If I did get a 50 shot. How much should I expect to pay for a full kit?
The more I think about it, the better it sounds.

And how safe is it on a stock block? Can it be used back-to-back at the track? Does it harm the engine each time it's used, with a tune? And would I need to put it on a dyno?

Nice numbers, I am close though with a stock bottom end and I am Eaton Powered baby....
