OK, one last end of the season drag strip post on this thread and I believe it can then drift off into forgotten thread land! Last trip to the strip ended on a great note. Finally made it to a 1/4 mile strip. "The Rock" (Rockingham Dragway in North Carolina) Temps about 52ish with a definate headwind. All these past months I've been tweaking, fine tuning, and discovered that with every single tweak on any one particular circuit would require readjustment of another circuit or two. Most tweaking was with the step-up springs, and the accelerator pump settings. Saw incremental improvements each time. Also did a plug change along the way, swapping NGK's for some Autolite Racing plugs and did the David Vizard mod to the ground straps. (even more cutback than they come) A little this, a little that, all in the quest to get as close to an 11.99 et. The first run at The Rock saw my best to date 1/8 mile et and mph, and the second run was another best on every mark except the 60' Ran [email protected] for the 1/4 and [email protected] for the 1/8. Traction at the line was not the best with the temps being what they were, but the cool really helped on how it ran down the track. Did suffer fuel starvation on the top end (you can hear it at the end of the video) not seen in the previous 1/8 mile runs. Will now need to up grade to 3/8" line (already running Carter srip mechanical and Carter electric) Over the winter project and stuff a 4.10 in it.....we'll see what that does:eek: I can almost taste 11.99! Pretty happy regardless
