For those of you with FI - Who's in the 10's

LafitteZ · 12-07-2011, 11:52 AM

Exactly like I said before the car will do it its just whos gonna fork up the dough to beat the hell out of there expensive *** tt 370 that they prolly havent even had for barely a year. Iv seen good enough trap speeds its all in the grip. I trapped 121 in low boost with like a 2.5 6ft cuz of wheel hop and spin. So I know if I had a Drag radial and high boost in I have a real shot at 10s. Im scared to death to run a grippy tire considering I still owe 20 grand on the car and iv already boiled the oil in the rear end from trying to hot lap. My best run was a 2.0 60ft 122 trap and 12.01 on street tires. This trip was my first time at a real drag strip in this car.

I'm frustrated at your neophyte insistence that simple slicks and high(er?) boost will propel you into the tens. Ummmm....

I am always dissatisfied with anyone who claims they have a 11.xx / 10.xx / 9.xx car when they didn't produce the time card. SHOW ME THE MONEY. BIG difference between perceived capability and actual achievement. And the difference is in trial and error.

I don't see any haters in this thread. Just some knowledgeable car guys.

I'm really tempted to go back to Atco this Sunday to try to get that 11.6. Or bust. But, I'll nip away at it or not. That's how it's done. Consistent trials and small gains. I'm a realist.

It ain't tens but it's more satisfying than keyboard speculation.

Carry on.
