my goal was to beat my brothers Nova.....SUCCESS!!! :bootysha:

1st run of the night was paired with my brother and I got an 11.02 @ 122.12, he got 11.91 @ 110.67.


2nd run was 11.08 @ 122.02 (car was swaying like back end was loose throughout the track on this one) tire pressure maybe??

the 60ft was 1.65

oh so much fun!!! way more fun than my turbo civic!

developed a fuel leak so only got 2 runs in, oh well...fix fuel leak and go for 10's!

i only did this for the very first run, as these tires have not seen the track in about 1.5 years.

they are Goodyears, but I dont remember the exact size (they are big)
this run I had 9psi (went with what my brother runs, but he has smaller tires too), the next run I went to 8.5psi...this is when the car seems loose all the way down the track (with 8.5psi)...unless it was just more windy on the 2nd run...I really didnt notice the wind before or after either run.

this is all new to me, this is the fastest car I have ever driven/owned.
 
git'n after it! have you thought about taking some gear out of the rear? either way that run looked good.

Ok cool you'll get it figured out with seat time.
 
Start at 14 psi, then lower each time. And if not 4 radials, it will always seem to float in the traps. Scarey, lol.

really, 14 psi? I thought that would be a little high, but I'll try it. worse can happen is no traction off line right?

this first run was pretty straight, I'll upload the 2nd run, you can really see the difference. (plus I short shifted the 2nd run, both shifts :toothy9:)

thanks again everyone!!!
