Track times from last night.

[atlblue98gt]

I was running consistent 8.5s all motor. (cant afford nitrous right now)
Made 4 passes and my belt tensioner BROKE in half. My belt was found on the track in one piece. I knew something was wrong when i had no power brakes or powersteering at the end of the track. Luckily I only live a mile from the local track and had an extra tensioner at the house with a bad pulley. But it was enough to get my car home without over heating.

My best time being a 8.520 @ 81.716 mph with a 1.806 60 ft. and a 5.481 half track. I ran two more 8.5 with the tire pressure at 14 and 15 psi. First pass was with 20 psi and i spun and ran a 8.6 with a 2.0 60 ft, lol. I love these new et streets. Hooks very close to the slicks I had. I think I ran 8.47 with all out slicks before the rearend broke. I cant wait to add nitrous.:rock: And I did add the roll cage since I ran on slicks. But i had the skinny's on. I was getting better and better when the tensioner broke. Prolly could have ran an 8.4 as the night went on. It sucks to break with only 4 passes. :yell:

i had a similar story but i shredded my belt up in irwindale thats about an hour and a half from san diego, luckly there was enough belt to make it home on, but anyways do you think you can launch harder for a better 60' ? That thing has more in just on motor alone if i would guesstimate i can see a 8.3 on motor with a hard launch....

yeh, i was launching around 5500. I would getting higher. Started out at 4500 and was getting higher. It felt like it was spinning when it when a 1.8. I know i can pull a 1.7 then get my time to a lower 8. Then add spray and hold on, and maybe get closer to a mid 7. That cage helps stiffen everything up. Ive got sub frames at the house to install, Then gotta get away from stock supension. I wannt get what orange just installed on his fox.

 

[atlblue98gt]

i just wanna ask. Do yall think 8.3 to 8.4 is good for a 4.6 with stock pi heads and stock suspension is good. Cams is the only big thing. Just bolt ons. I wanna get the trick flow heads and 7's all motor. (THERE I GO DREAMING AGAIN...LOL)

Brayn 8.50s are awesome on motor. what et streets where you running? 15" 16" ?


oh yea, i'm probably on my 5th tensioner assy so far. I cant keep mine from bending and breaking. even on the street.


Do they make and upgrade for our cars?

 

[yosemiddysam]

I am sure Reichart Racing has one.......

8.5 eh? i'll catch up with you soon boy!

 

[atlblue98gt]

8.5 eh? i'll catch up with you soon boy!

invest in some et streets. Almost as good as slicks. And will greatly inproove youre time. You will def be in the 8's with a set. :rock:

 

[KBDRK98]

Ive found those tensioners, but they only list for s197s only. sucks!


And i'm definitly going to put some ET streets on my 16" rims next time I run at the track. I want something better than a drag radial. lol

 

[Lordgufi]

thing is I'm scared to do any thing but street tires untill i have clip elims and 3.73's

 

[wickedstangs]

nice runs...

I am too. Ive went through two rearends, but bc ive ran slicks. Not gonna do that anymore. I've stronger axles. Im going to go c-clip with locker when I can afford it.

 

[orange395w]

Nice runs man. No video? 8.4-8.5 is real good for that motor. It has more in it with some suspension mods. Those uppers are definitely worth the $260. I wish I would have known about those years ago.

 

[atlblue98gt]

the et's I used

 

[blackstallion06]

Those are the same tires I run. I run 15's going to buy skinnys when I return

 

[Z0 What?]

nice job! you said you were launching at 5500, you got an auto or 5 spd?

 

[atlblue98gt]

5 spd
