I ran a 15.16 at the track last saturday. i had a 2 second 60 foot. i was only shifting at 5000 because i had a very very bad looking belt on the car, it was replced on sunday. these times were on street tires and with a 3.00 gear. im going to take it up again and shift at a higher RPM and try to get into the 14s. after that i have a 3.89 stump ready to go in and M/T drag slicks.
Thats cool! I will be up there in August. How did the show go? Low 15's on street tires is not bad at all..... what was your mph?
Thats cool..... sticky tires will get you in the low 14's for sure(13's maybe). Just remember, I am not sure how strict that track is on the rules, but if your running slicks, you are supposed to have a driveshaft loop. Keep us posted.
shifting at 5,000 might not be a bad idea that could be right in your power band depending on the engine, i know my engine builds peak horse power at 4500rpm. so for me shifting lower would be better. Also it builds torque at 2500rpm, so the powerband is fairly narrow.
