Well, I decided I was going to drive my car today. I dialed in this morning at 12.78. Stupid me, now I just had to buy back for Breaking Out! LOL
I couldn't be more happy with the performance of this engine, even at 10.6:1 A/F ratios it can still put down the power.
Here are the conditions. Everyone was at the booth, so no-one was filming this run. Of course we didn't expect it to perform the way it did on these street tires.
Engine temp around 160-170 degrees by the time I was done with my 10 seconds burnout.
Here is the weather conditions today:
Versus yesterdays weather conditions:
How to Drag Race these cars: I burned out by auto shifting into 1st gear and revving up to about 4-5K RPM's for about 10 seconds, then chirped the tires (dry hopped it) to clean them off and staged, revved up to 1500-1700 RPM's, lit the second yellow by inching forward (a little drag racing best practice for our cars), then just dropped the hammer.
I was up against a Magnum SXT and he was gone off the line for a good 5-6 seconds before they dropped the lights down the pole for me to go. I knew I was going to break out a little, just because of how it felt going down the track, but I didn't expect this on these tires...
