Went to MusclePalooza at Lebanon Valley, NY yesterday.
Last time I drag raced, I ran my 28-11.50-16 ET Street Bias Plys, I felt it was too much tire ( too tall). So I theorized a switch to a 26-11.50-16 would drop 2 tenths off my previous best of 12.12 at 115.
First pass:
1.77
5.073
7.75 @ 92.08
10.06
11.998 @ 116.04
Second pass:
1.74
5.028
7.70 @ 94.44
10.01
11.97 @ 115.36
DA was 1874, corrects to a 11.73 at 118.53
So all in all, the car loved the 26" tall tire.
On my first pass I ran against a new Camaro with a nasty sounding cam. I thought he might smoke me, car sounded so nasty. He went 12.7 at 112. Second pass I raced a new Camaro convertible with all sorts of Pep Boys Bowties all over it. He went 14.5 at 101, lol. It was an SS.
I am very happy with how the car performed. Have to confess that I was a little nervous on my first run being at a new track and all. I couldn't tell where the finish line was so I assumed I was done with my pass and took the first return road exit off of the track and that made me have to brake heavily, and as I was doing so, the cammed SS blew past me so I thought I didn't make a full pass, lol!
Backing up the 11.998 with the 11.973 encouraged me and I think in good, fall air, it should go well into the 11's. No shift lockout WHATSOEVER since my AED tune. Clean, 8rpm shifts all day long. I honestly think this tune is the cure for the shift lockout, in conjunction with other hardware mods like the clutch line, and return spring removal being the only two. I've not missed a shift since getting the tune.
