Traction was a bish but I did manage a 1.71 and 1.72 60' spinning a little through first gear.

The best E.T was 7.67 @ 92mph which should equate to 11's at 115ish in the 1/4

the g-tech pro was dead on with the e.t. but showed 1-2mph too fast and it showed the 60' just a hair slow.

the g-tech pro showed 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds.

I shot in car video and Mike shot from outside so when I get back home Sunday I'll start editing it. Once we get the videos done I'll move this to the video section of the forum.


we're going to the Gleason Tn track tonight which is also 1/8th mile, hopefully the traction will be better but then again, my tires are bald so that's probably the real problem. :3gears:

This isn't the exact best comparo...I was hitting the rev limiter before the 1280' timer and I think the converter could have been slipping a little bit...but this is the best the car did with the cam and TH350 tranny before it's recent revisions! Congrats on getting it down even more at Gleason! Once again it looks like a car you have built and my car are neck and neck, I'm coming for you, lmao!



Here's the old time slip with the 6 speed and the car on nitrous back in the day!

[Mellon]

ahah I think you'll have me covered... for now

Its a shame Gleason hooks better than Jackson. That track (Jackson) used to be and could again be on eof the best racing venues around.

[Mellon]

Jackson was dead because the weather looked like rain and it was cold. There was maybe 4 cars and 4 bikes running total and none of them fast enough to heat up the track or lay down rubber.

I made 6 passes total and could have made 150 there was plenty of time.

we're going to the local 1/4 mile track Thursday night Test N Tune Thursday night 11/1 group meet

[fullthrtle]

nice runs... you going to jackson tommorrow night...


and yes the track here sucks, main reason im not running my supra on it right now.... until i get some drag radials.... my old supra ran 9.2 with 2.5 exhaust and 9lbs of boost spinning pretty reasonable 2.3 60ft... my current supra has 3" downpipe with full 3" exhaust ,manual boost controller (currently set at 10-11psi) and is considerably faster than my old supra... but when i had my mustang all i did was spin and i dont want to do that now. so will wait till i get something to hook..

[Mellon]

nah that was a 1.5 hour drive for me and the only reason I went there because my brother and dad were going to be there.

we have a nice 1/4 mile track here in memphis
