Went to the track.....

Finally, after 2 years I made it back to the drag strip Tuesday. Weather was hot and sticky, but oh well, can't always pick the best days to play. Car ran fairly well. Made 6 passes. 3 of them were 13.18 @ 104.3. 1 at

13.17, also at 104. 2nd pass I seemed to forget where both 2nd and 3rd gear were located for a blazing 14.5 @ 100, (oops lol). Last pass I short shifted the 1-2 shift, and that hurt me to a tune of 13.28 @ 103. Traction was awful with most 60 foot times in the 1.96x range every pass. That was even with M&H racemasters. (granted, they are getting a bit old).

Wish I could have backed up my best ever pass of 12.97 from a couple years ago, but I guess it was not in the cards. Still had a ton of fun tho. Always fun to be able to get out and bang thru 4 gears legally. :) If work permits I might even try to go back this coming Tuesday again.

Guess that would kinda help. I have an '87 hatchback, stock bottom end, out of the box TFS heads, B303 cam, Edlebrock Performer RPM intake, 24lb injectors, 70mm MAF, stock throttle body (yup, about time to fix that). BBK full length headers, 2.5 inch off road h-pipe, and Flowmaster delta flow mufflers. 3.55 gears out back. Other little goodies here and there like an MSD 6AL, underdrive pullies, Koni shocks, Eibach drag springs, etc.

I'm thinking about running out and getting a new set of Mickey Thompsons for the next outing. Gotta get it to bite better. :)

Drag slicks would definitely improve all of your times... but that sounds like a real nice car.. bet it sounds great too. Pretty nice times as well... but some slicks should definitely make 'em better.
