Here's the times I posted last night at Dragway 42 in West Salem Ohio. The temperature when we started was around 85 degrees.

.158 12.621 @111.11 1.89 (this was my last run)
.520 12.625 @110.86 1.87
.533 12.641 @111.06 1.90
.584 12.667 @110.86 1.92
.437 12.697 @110.62 1.97
.167 12.717 @110.57 1.93
.634 12.984 @109.51 1.99 (this was my first run)

Also this is only the third time I've raced and as you can see my times were getting better even with the hotter engine. The 12.621, 111.11 and 1.87 are all personal bests. I raced once stock, then again after the h/c install this spring, now once since the vig 3200 was installed. Definitely need a bit more practice to lower these times but this is a pretty good start I think.

Good job! Keep dropping those 60' times and I think that you will see more improvement. I certainly would like to be running those times. I could not tell from your signature, are you running drag radials?

I have Nitto DRs, stock size. They started to grab more on the final few runs. They were basically new except for the runs I made this spring and I've read that they do better once they get broken in.

What were you brake torquing to on your launch with your 3200 stall TC and DR's?

Practice makes perfect, Nice runs.

Now that you say this, I do see the reference to the drag radials in your signature. I guess I am going blind...no comments. ;)
