Finally made it back to the track. Almost in the 9s!!

So between covid and moving our house and building the new shop this spring and summer has been busy to say the least. This Friday we had a private track rental with about 30 of us and a well known racer and track prep guy on hand to lay down the sticky on the track.

I haven`t been since last September when I ran 10.54@129 blowing through the FTI 4400 stall. Over the winter I switched from a TH350 trans and FTI 4400 to a TH400 and a Yank Pro Eliminator 3400. And boy did it pay off.

So after this pass it was obvious that 4.11 rear gear was just too much. A set of 3.70s or 3.90s is in order most likely. But for the hell of it my tuner added 1.5 deg of timing and bumped the limiter to 7100rpm from 6800rpm. I made another pass and like a dope forgot to put in a fresh bottle and went 10.10 @ 131. Also I forgot to raise my RPM window switch for the nitrous as it normally would shut off at 6600. Some cooler air and it will go a 9.90. But all in all at 3800lb race weight with me in it I`m very happy with it.

So check out the New England No Time Facebook page. I`m a class a sponsor for the big tire class. Our home track is New England Dragway in Epping NH.

I thought I heard it tap the limiter just before the trap. Is that why you raised it?

Justin, remind me, are you running any nitrous?

The YouTube caption says 200whp. That is one light car!

Yeah that`s the amount of nitrous I`m running. About 200whp worth. Car weighs 3800lbs with me in it

Congrats! You definitely left me in the dust haha.

I will be shooting for high 12`s, just cracked my block, sleeving, boring +2mm and bumping the comp ratio up from 8 to 9 to 1. Also porting the turbo to +10mm over on both the hot and cold side.

Yeah the 4.11s are at there limit.

Great times Justin! And you`re at 3800#! Wow! New convertor seems to be working well...and the car is liking it! Definitely in to see what a lower (numerically) gear will do for you!
