I see you live in NY state. What was your D/A during your runs? Best I ever got was 2200. Definitely less than ideal. |
No worries. Previous owner footed the bill on the ARH headers - that's crazy money if you ask me. I doubt they are any better in the power department than any of the other 1.875" long tubes. Otherwise, we're pretty close on the mods, cutouts are just noise, ported TB is more about response than any power gains.
That car usually goes about 113, give or take a little. Best DA and mph I've seen in 2 years was the 12.59@113.46, at around 1330', against a 5mph breeze. Usually its around 2000' or more in the summer. The breeze probably knocks a mph off.
The gears are definitely not helping trap speed - I'm crossing at like 5600rpm, which is sub-optimal. I couldn't make it in third even before the gear swap, my tires run a little too short. Running third through the traps, if you have enough tire height, is probably part of the equation to great bolt on trap speed. The gears do help on the short end, much easier to get the car going, and probably helping overall ET. Once I go to an 18" drag radial they will be an even bigger asset on the launch.
What's your 60' time like? 660' ET and speed? I would think if the car will give up 115 it might be good for another tenth or two on street tires.
