I finally got run the gen2 tonite at atco raceway in new jersey. If the guy in the white 3g that was there is on this board I passed you leaving as I was coming in. I got there a bit late, about 9:30 it ran form 5-11, so I only managed to get 2 runs. The first one was a bust. I ran a 17.38 @ 79.66. Got a 2.48 60ft with a terrible launch, and I ground the hell out of second gear (2 trys to get it in, I really need to do something about that tranny). I was kinda disappointed with that run, but the car put on a pretty nice burnout. The second run was a bit more respectable 16.71 @ 80.34. The 60ft still wasn't that great, 2.35, but the launch felt a hell of a lot better and there is only so much traction that can be had out of some old generic 175 70R13 tires. I also am haveing a problem with it getting starved for fuel once it gets going. I don't really notice it on the street cause I don't lay into it for that long. It was fine through 1st but second got so lean it started to miss at a little after 6000 (I was planning on shifting at 7200), and the same with 3rd causeing me to have to go to 4th before I crossed the line second time (probably why I turned the same mph even though I droped 6/10ths the second run). I hope with a better pump and some better tires I can go low 16's with it, maybe high 15s once I get the webers on there. Both times I got matched up against a ford f150, 2 diferent ones, and they both made me look silly by running high 13s.
The scanner is broke so I'll just type in the time slips.
r/t : 1.527 : 1.382 I wasn't even trying for a good rt just a good launch
60' : 2.484 : 2.357
330 : 7.175 : 6.806
1/8 : 11.133 : 10.615
mph : 61.45 : 63.89
990 : 14.447 : 13.821
1/4 : 17.383 : 16.716
mph : 79.66 : 80.34
