New best 1/4 mile - SC400!

[kc95sc400]

I'll go into more detail later and post the slips but went like this.

RT -.015 oops, trying to get the triple 0's.
60 ft - 1.788
330 ft - 5.056
1/8 - 7.754
1/8 mph - 90.12
1000 ft - 10.1
1/4 - 12.063
1/4 mph - 115.2

It has 11's in it. If I would have duplicated the 7.703 I ran a few months back at the 1/8 track it would have been an 11.8xx - 11.9xx.

That is VERY strong. Congrats!

Good driving as well.

You're the man!

Thanks guys.

JBrady, interesting note. Refresh. EKT headers, no cats 2.5 exhaust mandrel bent. I did have one tru-x muffler and two straight through Magnaflows in the back. I took out the two in the back so I now only have the tru-x muffler. Seems to have added about 2mph 1/8 mile and 3mph 1/4 since the last time I ran.

I have made a few other small changes wich might have also improved the traps a little.

So you are seeing 2-3mph gain with removing rear magnaflows? That is very odd. Did the weather change?

What is the low RPM feel with your current exhaust vs stock.

I found it kind of interesting (odd) myself. Was actually a tad warmer, about the same humidity I think, pressure - not sure, recent track a tad lower - maybe 50-100 feet.

There is always other factors, may have had nothing to do with the mufflers. I also was running a little hot last time due to my faulty fan wiring. Also went from a 170 to a 160 thermostat.

I don't really have low rpm anymore since I have a 3000rpm stall. Also, been so long since my car was stock I couldn't tell you anyway. LOL.

I wish the track in my area is open weekly, so I can have so many runs as you do. So whenever it's open, every car can only have a couple of runs and must wait for 3-4 hours...so frustrating.

Steve, sometimes you just need to take a drive.... I've gone as far as 3+ hours to get to a track. The only track really near me is Zmax (1/4) and Mooresville (1/8). Zmax is a newer track, completed last year, and they are hardly ever open. I have to drive 2 hours most of the time to run the 1/4.

On a side note, the weather is not looking good this weekend. I was hoping to run again, hoping to run anything with the first two numbers being 11.

You're very hardcore. No wonder your track time keeps improving. Breaking into 11s? You never know.
