Well, last week I made a couple passes and got a new best. My night started with a couple pulls at my house and I had the car tuned at 34psi on c16. I then drove to Carolina Dragway, about 2 1/2 hour drive. I made the mistake of leave my 8es plugs in because my first pass car was loaded up and bogged half way down the track. Then my ONLY worm clamp coupler blew off on the next pass. So, I turned the boost down to 30-31 trying to get a clean run in.

Next pass I went 11.5@129 and the car was pulling good again. Come back around for another run with high hopes for that 10.99 pass. I drive around and they told me the staging lanes were closed! After a short conversation with the track guy about how far from home I was, he let me get one more pass in.

So I got a hot lap pass in with the best time of the night...

I pulled a red light, and lost to built fox body bottle car, but it was a new best. The stang ran 10.85@ 127. I was pulling him hard up top, but ran out of track.

I wish I made a full pass at 34psi, but maybe next time! I want 10's bad..

Thanks man! Well, after installing my ETS 4inch thick FMIC, i'm able to run 25psi on 93. I honestly think it would run 125's on pump, maybe next time I'll make a pass to see where it's at. :talon:
 
Thanks, I still have alot of work to do, and Kaizenspeed did a great job with the car. Hopefully ill be able to get the 9's soon. Good luck with the 10's. Im at work now so I cant watch the video, but I cant wait to get home and take a look at it.
 
You must have been there on Sat night. Charleston is my home but I am station in Augusta. I am there every Thursday and in Charleston on the weekends. Good pass I am sure someone will mention you tommorow night when I get there.
 
Sorry man, missed your post. Yeah, still running 225 fuzion street tires.
Also thanks for the comments, I have a lot of respect for your car and your driving getting the job done. :thumb:

Nice times and nice to see another die hard street tire guy!:thumb:
 
Very clean DSM! Nice passes. If you want to stay with street tires I'd atleast swap from the Fuzion's. I personally think they are garbage. I had them on my old Talon, and traction was laughable. The Falken RT-615s, and BFG G-Force( I think thats the name of the BFGs) are nice a sticky street tires, pretty soft so don't expect more the 8k miles out of them haha.
