soo close to 12's

[cm-jp1]

Went to E-town tonight after cracking the bottom of my BOV flange by hammering the c-clip down. Its leaking a little bit but ill post pics of that later.

Anyway the first run of the night was a shitty 13.7 with a 2.0 60' I forgot to tape the e-brake down (its loose and goes into FWD during first gear)

After i got some electrical tape my frist run was

R/T .345
60' 1.869
330 5.443
1/8 8.396
MPH 81.09
1000 10.942
1/4 13.089
MPH 104.98

So i got kinda excited because i thought i was going to hit 12s this run

third run

R/T .406
60' 1.851
330 5.408
1/8 8.342
MPH 83.40
1000 10.895
1/4 13.052
MPH 101.83

So now im like ok this time it HAS to happen

So i go to launch and its my best one so far then bang miss 4th gear..
Notice everything until the 8th mile was so much better..this was Def my 12 second run ,, but i suck and miseed 4th

R/T .231
60' 1.795
330 5.320
1/8 8.262
MPH 79.51
1000 10.923
1/4 13.123
MPH 103.1


I was soo close but i thought that these were some good times.
Mods are in my sig 55 degrees outside//absoulte barometer was 30.01

I have datalogs of the 13.08 and 13.05 runs along with videos that i will post up later.

Yup i think so..
Im confident that i can get a 12.9xx pass add a downpipe maybe 12.7xx well see what happens

[JCPROV]

Very nice runs with minimal mods.

[Dickey P]

Good stuff. Looking forward to this season....I'm jealous your track is open already.

[mhdelano]

is your transmission or diff beefed up at all?

[long101]

did you go before you got the AP?
Riding out 4th or shifting to 5th?

[JCPROV]

Were you shifting at different points? I noticed the 1/8th mile and 1/4 mile traps aren't at all close to each other, I know you missed a gear in one, but they're all 2-3mph different.

The only mounts i have are a SU rear mount and a TT front engine mount which i feel is the best for getting your launch down.

My previous times consists of a 14.1 13.9 13.7 13.4 and 13.3 at those times my mods were custom SR aem intake ,HKS ssqv BOV, 100 octane, race pipe, muffler delete and was about 4x degrees outside.

All my runs were finished in 4th gear. I tried to shift at about 6500 each gear, i also WOT shift 3rd and 4th gear. I did the coil pack mod thing and now i dont have a studder while shifting into 3rd which helped alot.

AP shed about 4 tenths off my 1/4 mile time and if i dont miss 4th probably a half second.
