Here are a couple of runs that, even though not completely error free are a reasonable representation of how my car will run with the calculated DA of 1124'.
60' 1.636
330' 4.930
660' 7.718
MPH 88.03
1000' 10.121
1320' 12.148
MPH 111.31
The car tapped the rev limiter ever so slightly on the 1-2 shift. We were trying too hard.
60' 1.593
330' 4.887
660' 7.667
MPH 88.55
1000' 10.058
1320' 12.075
MPH 111.82
Once again tapped the rev limiter on the 1-2.
My last outing at my local 1/8th mile track the calculated DA was -1542' so that pretty much explains why my car was so much slower up to the 660' tonight as compared to the last track visit. My car has gone to the 330' in 4.70 and to the 660' in 7.48 in good air and that was on a bad tranny. My overweight (3700+ with my 300 pound hired gun driving) SS needs to go on a diet and try again if we get some decent air again.
So, I found out a few things tonight. 1. DA makes a helluva difference in how my car runs. 2. Even slightly touching the rev limiter during a pass makes a noticeable difference on the timeslip. 3. My Stock Internal car needs good air (a lot better than we had at Dinwiddie last night) to run 11's without making a perfect pass.
