Tyres rear--- Toyo T1R (?psi)
Other--------

Did two other 12.9's and all of the six runs I did the terminals were over 110 mph

[dbv8]

18 psi in the rear is good, 38 in the front is probably overkill but I like it. Anything to chip away at those hundredths.

For those with adjustables its hard on the rear and soft front for that weight transfer on launch.

Good thread to see the full times and specs.

[hiltonig]

I knew I should have driven a Cerb before modifying mine they are quick, however I just beat the 4.5 Cerb that was next to me, now if I could get of the line without spinning !

You had the chance but never took me up on the offer of my redundant tyres! You would have knocked at least 1/2 second off your ET.

[hiltonig]

I know by the end of the day it was getting addictive !, hope you back home ok and keep us posted on the engine , look forward to the next one ! The motec has launch control could this work ?

Just need to get my fueling sorted for next time

[Boosted Cerb]

Here's my best.

Reaction---- +1.3674 (Fell asleep)

BHP---------- 500 odd
Torque------- 500 something
Tyres front-- Toyo R1R's (26psi)
Tyres rear--- Toyo R1R's (26psi)

Excuses:
-Forgetting where 3rd gear is
-Hitting limiter in fourth just before the line on each run
-Not adjusting tyre pressures
-Head wind (Brummmie told me that one)

Was interesting to see, that Camaro drag car crossed the line with same terminal as me but at 10.7sec, I suppose 60ft was much quicker (shave a bit off and all that) and he knew where his gears were????

Rich.

[ajp70]

I think the 60ft times are the leveller for who did get a good time. It seems that's what makes or breaks a good run, barring gear change cock ups. There were some good 13's times and the purplely/green Sag driver should post their results. Also, did the very sexy looking t350(430) do a run or any of the S series cars. I'd be interested to hear what an S3 can do.

....and Derek, Paul (The Lodge), what's the advice?

[dbv8]

Paul had his suspension set hard all round.
I suggested to wind the front off to soft for weight transfer on launch.
Seems to have done the trick taking i think a couple of tenths off the 60 foot and a full 1/2 second off the ET

[spartridge]

Think the camaro was an auto?

I got it all on video Paul. I kept filming waiting for the time to show on the gantry but it never did. Maybe it only goes up to a minute max

Maybe i will put it on youtube
