Well what a joke Willowbank was, 3 runs in 6 hours all thank to the old school cars dumping oil on the track. It took 3 hours to get my 3rd run. There was some excitement there however. A HQ caught on fire in the staging lanes. It was 3 cars back and 2 lane across for my car. Geez, I was shyting my self hoping that the fire would not explode the Bottle. Flames reached 3-4 feat and I was surprised that the owner of the car did not have a fire extinguisher or did neither the other drag cars around it. Took the official near a minute to get to the fire....Anyway my night was terrible, the best I could real off was a 14.03 @ 102mph, 2.1 60FT, on street tyres, and a 13.7 @ 97mph on MT street with a 1.9 60FT which is now my PB. I could of done a 13.5 easy with the MT but I only had one run with them on and I did not have the revs high enough so my ute bogged down quiet badly..... To make thing worse my ute is running absolutely poor since I added the SS throttle body, High flow cats and middle muffler. I believe the Tune is out of wack with the changes made. It has also cause the fuel Economy to go to the pack. I am getting 13.7-14.3/100 hwy.. AGHHHHH..... I can not wait till Wednesday for the new cam's, Cam springs, pump gears and finally a tune that will be dialed in properly to my mods... However I would like to know exactly why my ute is running so rich before the mods are done, just for piece of mind.
I am also be getting some new thing that I cant really talk about yet..... Interestingly!!!!! Sledgehammer has different technique he uses when drag racing. He like to leave the hand brake on when going down the strip...LOL he recorded a time of 15.3 in his F6...... And Hoops, your suppose to wait for the light go green before you take off....LOL Cooltint did a flat 13 in an unmodified BF F6 auto (has K&N air filter) And Sutty reeled of a 11.4 We all had a good yarn with a fella who had a SRT Chrysler, What a beautiful car, and bloody quick. He posted in his very first run a 13.2, bog stock standard. Impressive! |
