FWIW:

If you would really like to pull the best out of yourself and your car on the drag strip, start up a grudge match against someone https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I have analyzed the data from the 1/4 mile runs on my car, 20 in all - including the 3 with the old cam. My best data is from the Yenko Deuce Shootout between Frank and myself!

My best reaction time was in Round 1 of elim's against Frankie: .084 (Frankie had a .008 light in Round 3!).

My best 60' ever was in Round 2 against Frankie: 2.290 (Frankie had a 2.277 in Round 2!)

My best 330', 1/8, 1000' were also in Round 2 vs. Frankie.

My best 1/4 ET was in Round 2 vs. Frankie with a 14.537, (Frankies was also in round 2 with a 14.255), and MPH was in Round 1 vs. Frankie with a 97.05mph (Frankie had a 98.72 in round 2).

So, if you are willing to put some pressure on yourself, you might be surprised with your next timeslip - regardless as to who got the win light https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

Just curious... what kind of RPMs are you turning at 97mph with an E7014 and a 4:10 gear?

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

I don't recall the exact rpm, but it was around 5500 to 5800 - not as high as you might think! COPOPete says that the magical rpm for this combo is 6000, but I seem to have an itchy shifter-hand and always seem to hit it too early..... just more excuses from the loser https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

Mine feels like its turning that many RPMs at 40 mph... although the tach proves otherwise... To drive it on the highway it feels like it should have about 2 more gears...always looking for that 5th gear thats not there! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Have you ever gotten brain failure and actually made that 5th shift !!!!

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
 

No one was with me at the time, so i will say no, not me, never... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

I have to keep fixing her car , she breaks it everywhere we go, so most of my practice time is spent wrenching on her car. I let her drive the R/T and she broke the darn window crank off it...How do you do that? Anyway I'll sure give it my best effort!!!

Re: For those considering racing at SCR8: PLEASE READ
