Do you like the vr1 oil over Lucas high zinc? I plan on running that Lucas.
Better? I wouldn't say that. Lots of good quality oils that will protect just fine. In fact, in my '74 Duster I run normal oil with ZDDP additive.

Between rt and 60 ft your down a half a second. You need more stop light pratice.
Reaction time has nothing to do with time on the ET slip....
leave late and lose, with equally matched cars. but some aren't so equal. lol willrun, you have this race. lol
Now why wouldn't a faster reaction time help the 60 ft.
Clock starts when the car breaks the beam. You can sit there for 5 seconds and run the same ET
Then your 60 ft would actually be rt + 60 = really slow
your 60 ft time will be the same if you red light or if you sleep a full second on a green light
If you red light you will get to the 60 ft faster than if you sleep for a second at the light. Does not matter if it is the same 60 time.
anything over 1.8 60' sucks. imo
2.2 for you. lol
Talking about two different things. Yes, two cars with the exact dial in time of 12.50, and one sleeps at the light a full second and the other cuts a perfect light, the one with a perfect light will not only get to the 60 ft faster but to the finish faster by a full second. But both cars can still go 12.50 ET with a 1.7 60 ft time. Reaction time is critical to winning races but has NO barring on what the car will run in the 60 ft, 1/8 mile or 1/4 mile.
Any thing over 1.65 sucks. imo
I'm just allowing a little for spin. I prefer 1.5 or lower 1.3 seems about right. lol
I just raced a pro charged mustang that cut a 1.9 60 ft and ran a 10.60. 60 ft is important, but there is 1260 more feet that count for something
Yes barring on the 60 ft. RT + 60 ft is the actual time it takes to go 60 ft.
Well, I believe Jaws was going for a E.T., not reaction time. Reaction time only counts in class racing, be it heads up or bracket. When I am testing and tuning, I couldn't give a rip what my reaction time is, I'm trying to get the lowest ET I can and reaction time doesn't change that at all

Hey we're talking Rt & 60 ft not quarter mile. Stick to the subject or j par will have to do the math.

What did you race this mostang with?
318 Duster 2 Saturdays ago, when I got the trophy
I bet he couldn't catch a 14.5 car at the end. lolI just raced a pro charged mustang that cut a 1.9 60 ft and ran a 10.60. 60 ft is important, but there is 1260 more feet that count for something
LOL.... it was a "she". Although it was a time trial run, so she blew by me.. LOL
