The whole reason I wanted an in car camera was to see what I was doing wrong. I know I need to keep my hand on the shifter other than that what do yall think?

looks like you got it down to me lol looks like you had trouble holding on though :banana:

Seemed pretty good to me. Shifts could be a little bit faster but they weren't bad. What are your mods?

 

[BIGWHUP03]

Basic bolt ons Intake and exhaust. 2.76 upper. UNported eaton. SRA. 6 point bar. through the floor subframe connectors. twin disc clutch. eibach drag springs. tubular k member GT brakes all around. N2MB 2-step The kirkey seat put me a little further from the shifter than I'm used to so i had a little more trouble shifting.

 

[BIGWHUP03]

I just want to join that 10 second unported group. Especially with a 6 speed.

some lightning fast shifts and you'll scratch a 10.9x

That was a pretty solid pass, those shifts were solid. I'd say you need a miracle dead-hook pass or ice the intake more! I've seen those cars pick up stupid power from the full ice treatment, although I'm a fan of methanol.

This is me driving my 2011 shelby at a 1/8mile track and at a 1/4 mile track in car. I'm not the best driver but I do power shift. You look to be just as fast as me imo. I would def keep my hand on the shifter the whole pass. It can be distracting reaching for the shifter each shift. You shouldn't need your other hand to steer the car. Keep at it.

Mods are posted further up.

Also you can preload the shifter some before you shift I push and pull depending on the gear before I push in the clutch to shift this way you have no delay in the shift. Also what shifter do you have in your cobra?

haha not sure how i missed that. Your car is flying for the mods!!! Took me a upper lower ported setup to get mine in the 10s. Nice work.

Passes for the day:
Pass 1- Pass 2- Pass 3
60'- 1.5346- 1.5527- 1.5945
330- 4.5763- 4.5681- 4.6202
1/8 ET- 7.1573- 7.1068- 7.1822
1/8 MPH- 98.21- 99.14- 98.30
1/4 ET- 11.1693- 11.0961- 11.1873
1/4 MPH- 124.93- 125.21- 124.72

The two step is set to 4000. I don't think I had enough air in the tires. I could feel the wrinkles rolling over themselves.

 

[rw95gt]

What size slicks and what air pressure? Stock 3.55 gears? I have had good look with around 12psi with all my cars using a full slicks 28" and 26" any less and it would spin to much.

 

[BIGWHUP03]

26x11.50 hoosier quick time pro. 12 lbs. 3.73s

 

[rw95gt]

I think a 28" slick with 4.10s would improve your short times. Maybe drop a .10 in the 60. The larger slick will allow for a heavier launch and swapping to the 4.10s will keep your revs correct at the end of the track. What kind of icing strategies do you use at the track?

 

[BIGWHUP03]

Just circulate ice water through my intercooler. I go through at least one 7lb bag of ice per pass. Saturday wasn't too bad b/c it was only 50 degrees. But i do Ice the shit out of my car.

lol it looks like you almost crapped your self on that run. But everything looked good to me. Shifts were good, your 60' time we great. Just keep trying.

Haha the first run scared me more. I was expecting it to spin but it hooked hard! I was way more prepared for that pass haha.
