Base Track E/T

[Tyler]

Wanted to get some base track E/T's before I start slappin mods on it so I can see how much everything improves anything. Today I did two runs, well I didn't drive it cause I was busy so I had my friend drive for me. Here are the times, both are NONE BOOSTED.

Run 1:
60FT----2.8977
330FT---7.9609
1/8E/T--12.0717
1/8MPH--59.85
1/4ET----18.6689
1/4MPH--73.51

Run 2:
60FT----2.7390
330FT---7.6768
1/8ET----11.7509
1/8MPH--60.14
1/4ET----18.2818
1/4MPH---74.76

Seems once the motor gets warm it runs much better.

y not boosted? and well the second run looks good... he dropped the 60' a bit so that makes a big difference in the 1/4

could be a stick shift

diesels run better when warm then cold

Its an Auto Dallas, he's never boosted a auto before, I have 165K on my factory tranny and idk how long its gonna last so I wanted him to take it easy.

I wanted him to get a second run b/c it would be completely warm, but each time he had to wait an hour in the staging lanes, and he was antsy to drink beer.

the pistons get fried when the engine (egt's) gets too hot

X2

Tenth off in the 60 ft equals 2 tenths at the big end.

Quoting for truth.

He never did a boosted launch in an auto, so I didn't know if he would be consistant, so I know it would be consistant on starts if he just floored it from a dead idle. Guess I was still wrong
