Went to the track for the first time since I got the motor running in November. First time to the track for me in 18 years. What a blast!! It's fun when everything works. I had no idea what the car would run. I was hoping for some solid 11's but wasn't really too confident. I'm feeling good now. Here's the numbers. Now of course, I want to go faster.
1st run
1.638 60ft
7.402 1/8th
91.86 mph
11.71 1/4
113.13 mph
2nd run
1.619
7.376
92.01
11.669
113.83
3rd run
1.633
Then I went 1st to neutral. Still not used to the reverse valve body. Oops! Thank goodness for rev limiters.
4th run
1.627
7.426
91.71
11.721
113.59
The last run I tried raising my shift points and I think it hurt me a little. That's okay I'm glad to shift low and go just as fast.
I didn't do any tuning. I was just trying to learn how to drive the car and get used to going down the track. The car handled great. Smooth as glass all the way down and felt like it was pulling all the way through. I pulled a plug once just to check it out and it looked pretty good. If anything, it may have been a little lean but not much.
So next time out I'd like to start playing with the tune a little to see if I can get a little more out of it but I'm not sure where to start. Any suggestions on a good plan of action?
Just wanted to post my results because I feel like I was fairly successful for my first time out thanks to all the reading and advice I've gotten off this board. Thanks for all the invaluable info along the way.
