Well, I made it out to the track today. I ran at Quaker City Raceway for the first time ever. Pretty decent track IMO. There was not much track prep at all, so I made a shakedown run to see how the track would hold. My 2 step was set at 6300, and that was WAY to high for the track. 14 PSI in the slicks. Spun bad to a 13.36.
Next pass I lowered slicks to 13 PSI, and lowered the 2 step to 5500. Car hooked much better but only went 1.62 60ft because of the lower RPM. Shifted normally on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift, powershifted 3-4. Went 12.35 @ 106.5
Last pass I kept the slicks at 13 PSI and raised my 2 step to 5800. Car still hooked well and went to a little better 1.60 60ft. Shifted normally 1-2, and powershifted 2-3 and 3-4. Went 12.21 @ 107!.
Im thrilled with the times, my previous best was 12.41. Im usually around a 1.58-1.59 60ft, but that's also launching higher as well. Also, Quaker City is known for their uphill track after the 1/8 mile which Im told is usually good for 2-3 tenths.
SO, my goal is to run at my other track that is flat and powershift every gear and get this pig into the 11s. I pulled my rear and passenger seats for the track, but I still have A/C, Mach stereo, etc. So Id love to go 11s N/A with minimal weight loss...
