Thanks guys, we may run it again this saturday at my home track at lower elevation, going to see if I can snag that 8 sec slip!:) That is if the weather isn't too damn hot.
 
Jake, where are you shifting and where (rpm-wise) are you crossing the traps in 4th on those 26" tires?
Do you think you can get the 60's even lower?

Is it possible for us to know what boost you were running too?

Also, N20 on shifts only or was it on throughout the pass?

Thanks and sorry for the 'too many' Q's. :sosad:

1st gear I was spining it up alittle over 10k
2nd gear was right at 9900rpm
3rd gear was at 9700rpm
4th gear I went through the traps at 8550rpm.

And yes it was with the nitrous throughout the run, just a 100shot. And it was around 43-44lbs of boost. I think with more suspension tuning and tire pressure tuning the 60ft's will get lower.
I think here at my home town I will break that 160mph mark. we are at lower elevation here at 2400ft. Utah was well over 4200ft. when I ran the 9.27 @157mph pass.

Thanks for the replies man! :thumb: Good luck next time out. :rocks:
 
What was up with the smoke from your car after you went through the traps? Or was that just how hard you were braking to slow down?

I heard something about a blown freeze plug on the local boards. However, that could just be rumor.

It was a combonation of 2 things
Yes you are correct about the freeze plug, but the 1st cloud of smoke you see is not smoke, it's rather that oil sweep crap that they had at the end of the track from someone breaking there car right before I ran, so as soon as I hit it, it just went everywhere like I went on a dirt road, the 2nd big poof of smoke was the freeze plug. we didn't know why it did that after I crossed the traps, after that pass we didn't even bother to look over the car since we were too busy celebrating our victory. When I got back home I looked over the car and noticed the alternator belt had spun off. In result the water pump was not spining and caused too much coolant pressure in the block that the radiator cap could not handle, so it pop the freeze plug.

It's all fixed now and cleaned up, it really sucked cause the combonation of that oil sweep powder and the coolant from my car made a really nice mess on my car, the oil sweep was pretty much glued to my back bumper. Not to mention my chute was catching all the water and oil sweep, so needless to say we had a nice mess to clean up on the car:notgood:
 
Are you still using a normal devotuning twin disk? I will be purchasing a clutch here soon and was wondering how it is holding the abuse of a 42R and N2O.

Yup, still using the same twin disc, I did however freshin up the clutch disc's, floater plate, and the pressure plate this season. I got about 55 hard passes last season + street driven on the other set of disc, they came out looking pretty good:thumb:
 
Good Job To You And Your Team .............maybe You Could Come Out When Supra Inviate Las Vegas Because They Go To The Track That Night And Give Them A Run For Their Money ,its Coming Up Next Couple Months
 
How did I miss this thread? Awesome times, I too was impressed when you first hit 9's. But damn, almost to the 8's now? That's psychotic! I love your car.

<--- Rootin' for ya!!!
