My New best 1/4 mile time - Lateral-g Forums

Datsbad · #1 03-22-2009, 03:58 PM

Well yesterday was a good day at the drag races. Last August I ended up melting down a few valves and spark plugs on a 1/4 mile pass. Although at that point I did go my new best then with a 9.37 @144.5 , This was the first time spraying a 300 shot on my 6.0 truck block

Now jump ahead about 7 months with new high heat vales and the heads freshed up , Also added NANO NITROUS to the car with the same 300 shot.
I managed to get a decent pass in with a 1.31 60 ft , wheels way up run.
On this run the car didnt excactly go straight and I should have left off the gas but I didnt, still with the longest way down a straight line I went a 9.17 @ 147 , another good thing is I want to try to compete in some local races in 1/8 mile and I need to run in the 5.50-5.90 area , finally I went 5.80's in the 1/8 also .

My set up is fairly simple....370 shortblock, LS6 heads, FAST 92mm and a whole bunch of Nitrous, powerglide trans.
These LS engine are the way to go !

I know its not PT just thought I would share the info. I will try to get video and pics up sometime. THANKS for listening.

8-9 years ago I went 9.27 in my Mustang and said I would never catch the drag racing bug again ......LOL , that worked out well !!!!!!!!!

Here is a old video running highs 9's last year

Thats awesome man. I have had "drag race fever" BAD lately also. All these builds have made me park my street racer for a couple years. It has been socked away, I have not seen it since RTTHs 2006. Time to do a few things. That 9.17 is a 1/10th better and 2MPH faster then I have been so I guess I need to step it up a bit.

Sheehs The last time I drove a car down the quarter mile, if you pushed the wrong station on the radio you would hear a new Disco song. Wow I'm getting old!
Excelent times Jason.

The weather is looking better here and the track just opened a few weeks ago , so yeah drag racing is on my mind bigtime.
We got a low 9 second mustang, turbo LS engine to build also .

Knowing you, I am sure your gonna step it up !!!!
Get that suspension done and lets see how it does.

Watch out though , I am planning on getting to a total of a 550shot.
I have to delay the second stage when I do that . Right now I leave on 300 and it hooks awesome, the chassis has way more in it.
I need a 1.27 60 ft and I might get that 8.99 time I am looking for.
