Hi all,
I raced my car last night on an 1/8 mile track. Hadn't raced a car in years and years, and never on an 1/8 mile track. Didn't turn times liked I'd hoped. Car as described in my signature. I could barely get into third gear with my 3.31 rear. Had some wheel hop on launch, and fair hookup with Nitto drag radials. I feel my carb is too small, was planning on updating to 670 Street Avenger from the 570 I have. And I know I need better gearing, was thinking of 4.11, but hesitant to do that. It is certainly predominantly a street car, but I would like it to run at least in the 12's.
I ran only 9.07 at 82 MPH in the 1/8 mile. Any comments or suggestions appreciated. You guys are the best.
