Hello all,
Got some great news, scored a awesome deal on a set of 10th anniversary wheels 17x9 and some half used 28x10x17 Hoosier bias ply slicks (thanks Mark.) I went to the qualcomm track, where my most consistent time was an 8.0 @ 91.5 mph with a 2.0 sixty foot with nitto 555r drag radials. Bolted the slicks up and was able to get two clean 7.5xx @ 93-94 mph with a 1.77 60 foot. I was actually able to launch at around 5000 rpm vs 1500 with the nittos. If I was not for a c6 vette axle hoping to the death of its rear end and then proceeding to drive down the entire track like an asshole, I am confidant that there is another tenth or two in the 60 foot with a little less tire pressure (ran both times with 16psi) and 6000 rpm launches.
Its amazing what good traction does, Hopefully with a good track and possibly a few more mods it will see the elusive 7.0 and 6.9 1/8 mile. Car is still full interior, even still has the spare tire and jack. All runs are down with a full tank as well for extra weight transfer at the Qualcomm parking lot. Motor is a stock intake manifold to oil pan first generation 5.0 coyote crate motor. with LTs, JLT, AED 91 octane tune.
Curious if other tracks will net faster times. There was no spinning or bogging with the slicks out of the whole, which means to me I need to launch it harder. By the way drive train is solid, built t-56 by me) and built rearend. Also has full upr kmember with mm coilovers, mm sub-frame connectors and mm rear control arms. Koni yellow adjustable all the way around, which I know are less then optimum for drag racing, however if I can achieve 1.6 or 1.5 sixty foots i don't see the point of changing them, i.e. daily driver.
As always I am excited to be able to start working my ways to the 6s and any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I really have a question for the coyote stock guys and how they are able to achieve crazy sub 10s passes, I need to get my car weighed to see where I am in respect, but the coyote stock class is a 3200lb limit I believe. So I should not be to far off from that.
Thanks everyone and good luck on your builds for TX 2k18, see you there.
