so i ran the car again at atco saturday. new gears and all. ran the SAME times on motor, 12.0's @ 112mph, low 1.7 60's and one 1.69... so much for gears adding anything. they are needed when i put a cam in the car though so it wasn't a complete waste.
the car ran a little bit better on the juice then it did before. it did consistent "11.50's"
i had the nitrous shutting off at 6200rpms and it was cutting out right before the end of the track, not sure really how much it hurt the times if any- but i just ordered 28" drag radials which should get me across the traps at around 6000 to 6100rpms on the juice.
hoping it runs "low 11.50's".
also- got the driveshaft balanced at Petes's Driveshaft and Welding in trenton. did an awesome job, most of the vibration is gone, the only vibration i get is from the polyurethane mounts now.
future mods= saving for a cam and valvetrain- IF nothing breaks in the meantime.
