Another trip to the track, best time to date :)
So my wifes official due date is tomorrow and I figured one last trip to the track before the car is pretty much put away for while 
I figured I would go all out and see what I could get, but when I got there I chickened out and just wanted to be able to drive it home, lol. First run was terrible, it was 12.6 @ 127 with a 2.2 60'. ATCO is having a huge event tomorrow so there was a lot of Big Horsepower cars and they seemed to take forever, they go one by one and takes them forever and a day to get staged. Anyway, I didnt want to wait hrs between each run so I figured I would go one more time and really heat up the tires, I knew right away it was my best run to date, fealt GREAT and car F----- Launched out of the hole ( not a Ford 8.8 launch, but still a good one)
I preloaded with the E-brake, brought it up to 6,000RPMS and hammered it and dropped the brake the same time. I did get a touch of wheel hop at the top of first, but just stayed in it and shifted to 2nd.
R/T............ .404
60'............ 1.718 (so close to a 1.6, would have been awesome on stock Diff)
330............ 5.065
1/8............ 7.616
MPH............ 97.65
1000........... 9.749
ET............. 11.525
MPH............ 129.87
I am looking foward to beefing up the tranny and diff come winter, I don't see any reason why high 10's arent in my future once I am able to luanch hard and slam the gears, and have slightly taller gears.
I didint really think 11.5 was too terribly fast, but it seemed like I was one of the fastest street cars of the night, kinda a good feeling when all the other cars are Mustangs and Camaros with huge slicks and roll cages, lol
