New 1/8 mile PB, 7.06 @ 98.95 on stock un-ported blower

[DMotorsports]

It seems like I'm always living in rodfarva's shadow, but I posted a new pb for me today as well. I know the RT sucked, but wasn't really focusing on the lights. All my power adding mods are listed in my sig. The car still has quite a bit left in it as is. I'm still on factory shocks and springs, so there is quite a bit to be gained in some tuneability there. In regards to my 60', all I have to say is that I love Hoosier slicks and 4.10 gears. :rockon: My WOT box seems to be functioning flawlessly, however I think I need to back the delay down on the WOT shifting. It's currently set at 200 miliseconds, and to quote rodfarva it sounded like I "was taking a nap" between shifts, lol. :lol: I'll back it down before my next run. Big thanks to my tuner Greg Mayton at Speedy Dyno in Owensboro, KY for good power and top of the line service.

On a separate note, after talking to rodfarva and seeing his 'glide run on the track, I must say that I am seriously thinking about jumping ship to a TH400 :idea:. Probably won't happen anytime in the immediate future, though.

Heck of a 60ft, nice job!

Damn some of you guys are getting really impressive 60's considering how heavy these things are.

 

[rodfarva]

That run looked great. I'd be very pleased with that time given your mods.

Congrats!!! Nice 60ft....there has to be a 10sec pass in that car the way you are hookin and driving that thing!!! Has to be one of the quickest 60fts. for an unported factory blower.

 

[DMotorsports]

Thanks guys. I can't wait to head to a big track to try and get that 10.XX second slip.

Very nice my friend. Being stock and unported, that run is awesome.

You'll get it easily and watch that DA.;-) Nice meeting you and you have a nice looking car.

Hoosier 29x10x15 slicks.

Nice meeting you as well, and thanks for all the help. Also thanks for arranging the great track day. It was a blast.

Your welcome and if you get that IC resevoir I'd love to go with you to the track and be your 1 man pit crew. I guarantee you'll pick up some et and mph. Getting the most out of any Eaton is almost like having a job while you run unfortunately lol.

We hope to do it again in the Fall.

What was your highest mph yesterday anyways because I can't remember?

Hmmm....do you and Rodfarva have a 6-pt roll bar installed? I think that would be required (to be 'legal') for the great ETs you guys are running.

It was that run. 98.95mph. I had several others that were 98.XX, but that one was the best.

I have a 6pt roll bar. Rodfarva has an 8 pt cage.

Cost?

 

[DMotorsports]

Both of ours were custom bars done by local fabricators. I paid about $1200 for mine.

I better be careful how I phrase this to avoid potentially getting into trouble..... The wife and I have dinner plans that evening for our 5 year wedding anniversary. So, I will not be able to attend.


However, if it were scheduled for another time, I would definitely be there.

Just one more question on this....were they bolt in or weld in?
