New best in 1/4 at Sparta on Saturday
 
Went out Saturday to test and tune at Sparta and ran back to back 12.8's at 106. Best I could get at Sparta last year were 13.2's. I had broke into the 12's last year but not at Sparta.

here are the numbers. Killer 60fts for an unprepped track, I can't wait to get to another sticky track or on a Sunday at Sparta with the new set up and weight reduction. I am hoping for 1.6's from the Hoosier Drag Radials.

No 1/8th times as a sled took the markers out.

60ft:1.724
330ft:5.267
1/4 ET:12.827
1/4 MPH:106.06

60ft:1.718
330ft:5.262
1/4 ET:12.834
1/4 MPH:106.12

Shift light is on its way form Summit as I think the differances are where I am shifting first and possibly third. Hopefully the light will at least keep me at the same rpm. Just got to figure out which that is. lol I did order the MSD light that has 4 shift points that I can select.

It was really good to get back out on the 1/4 mile and giverrrr. I had fun for sure.

Damn, nice job. I think I know what I'm doing next time. :tup

That's all with no engine modifications (not counting CAI), pretty impressive.

What rims are you using for the hoosiers?

What size for the skinnies? Thinking about brake clearance issue with the larger calipers.

I used a 1 inch eibach spacer for the fronts.
Fronts are 15 x 4
I am close to swapping a guy for his gt brake and my Mach brakes. That way I would not have to run a spacer. That is my plan. the mach comes with 13 1/2 Brembo brakes from the factory so he would be getting better deal but the dela suits me as his brakes will work fine and unless I was doing cirlce track I really do not think I could tell the differance. Win win for the two fo us. Still deciding though.

You couldn't pay me to put GT brakes on my Cobra. On my V6 I went from the V6 brakes to the Cobra ones and it made a world of difference. Not sure how close the GT ones are to the V6 but I wouldn't do it, especially since it's my daily driver.


Did you have to get longer studs when running the spacer or were the stock ones fine?

Like I mentioned it was a thought and I am not completely sure. The eibach spacer comes with studs in it. :tup Steeda sells them on their site.
