Best run to date.

[08cosmic3]

My local 1/4 mile strip opened today and I went. Temp was mid 50's and alot of people came out.

My first run was against a c-4 vette (auto), not sure what year. The guy on the PA said "It looks like the little "toyota" is out matched in this race but maybe his accelerator will stick and give him more power." I'm sure he was shocked when I spun my wheels and still ran a 13.7 @ 106 mph to the vettes 13.9 @ 104. I got a lot of attention after that with the announcer calling my car the "sleeper" on my next pass and corrected himself about calling it a toyota.

The second pass was almost perfect, I hit second smoothly and it grabbed, no hop just go. my best 60 ever, 2.154. I have Hankook V12's in stock size on the car. I ended up running 13.392 @ 107.15, my best ET and my fastest trap ever. I lost the race off the line with an awful .341. I'm on the right, car #58. I won't be going back anytime soon unless I have a set of drag radials which is not in my budget right now. I need a Fuel pump and down pipe before I buy DR's.

dude the fuel pump is so easy and so worth it. nice times. I can't wait till I get the next chance to go to the track.

Nice runs man. That is cool u had such a close race. What did u race that time? I just got the Hankooks and I think they helped at my first run of the season; I bested my time last night by 2/10ths and 2mph. I didn't spin or hop at all w/ the DSC on. My best launch ever after 20+ slips. Hankook V12s ftw?

That race was against and old ugly ass primered el-camino. It did haul ass though.

Nice runs! But be careful on those stock MM's... Last time I went I hopped off the line a little and next thing I know I'm fucked with my engine dropped. It sucked because it was a great night and I rarely been there with great conditions. My first run was 14.0@100 missing 3rd! It was my 2nd run that all hell broke lose...

Just make sure you don't hop too much because these mounts will / do break

[JNR5005]

Yea I broke my 1st stock mount flat foot shifting into second at the track. I need that rmm so I can launch w/ DSC off.

Nice runs 08Cosmic. The last time you had some video. Where's the vids? Sounds like you had some fun though.
As for the fuel pump and DP. That sounds like a good plan. I got the pump and now I working on the DP. Actually, I've been working on it since last Thursday. What a PITA, but hopefully, I can get it buttoned up tomorrow. Four days....not to bad for me.

Nice run! It's great running that MPH on street tires... I can't get anywhere near that if I don't have DRs. I already have the DP and CDFP upgrades but my car is a slow MS3 compared to yours.

[Stealth01]

Haha...I'll bet that irked the good ole boys rooting for the "American Muscle" over the rice-burner.

That's the main reason I have put off the DP, I've read it's a PITA. I have to have the FP internals 1st anyway.

I will one day be fully bolted with DR's and will be in search of the 12 second pass.

I almost beat a new Camaro SS in my last run, I ran 13.7 and he ran 13.4. He drove around me just before the line. I had a bad 60 in that run, wish my 13.3 would have been against him. Would have been plain badass beating one of those. He did run a 12.9 earlier in the day.

I plan on checking the tranny mount tomorrow. I need to clean the engine bay up anyway and with the battery box out it will make it easier and I can take a look at the mount.

I did notice on the way home that my clutch peddle seemed to need less pressure to push it down. I did burn the clutch some as I could smell it when i raised my hood after one of my runs. Not sure what that means, maybe someone here can tell me what might cause the peddle to have less resistance and it seems that it engages closer to the floor now. My guess is I'm just wearing it out.
