The DA was actually Around 1550ft with 95% Air density for the 11.8@117.78
60' was 1.806

Air was bad but not as bad as I thought for my final run (previous runs were 2500+) The 12.3 I ran last winter was -550ft so you get an idea there's a little more left in it.

I did that one 11second pass and packed up with the intention of saving the car for cooler weather 🙂

Hopefully I'll see an 11.5x on the current setup with a 1.6x 60' before I build the motor up and shoot for a 10.9x n/a 🙂

Cheers guys, post your runs up ! I love the feel of the older forums, makes me feel young and overexcited again haha.

Oh, and I'll definitely keep everyone update on YouTube too.

Regards,

Blake.





getting cold down here now mate road trip

I have the All Ford Day onnthe 18th July, then a test n tune on the 24th which should see some good air. Hopefully the track prep is forgiving, I'd love to crack that 11.6x@118mph before I pull the motor.
