get the 60ft down , those are some slow times , you should be in the high 14s unless you have a really high elevation .

I think you should race it next time, and I'm sure that
you will get better times then you boyfriend LOL

Thanks for sharing, and I do hope that `if you go again that
you do the driving/racing of your AweSome Dale Jr S.S.
I'm sure you will drop a second, and also increase your speed.

Thanks/EnJoyed reading....Look forward to seeing your pic's,
and a new vid the next time you go to the track

Gratz on going out to the track and like Space said...get in and race it at the track. To me that is one of the greatest (and decendly cheap) thrills.

60' ... 2.319
1/4 ... 15.907 <<WIN
MPH ... 87.51

That's what I was thinking too- what elevation is your track at, and how hot was it when you were racing?

Even at that, you're probably not going to be able to take a lot more off that 60' on street tires, and the mph is low too- maybe the ebay intake is giving you a lot of KR?

Oddly enough, I've seen it happen more than once- even by women/girls who don't normally race.

If I can run 15.992 in 85* heat and high humidity, you should be able to run faster. Its true that heat and humidity effect boosted engines more though right?

It was probably around 90* with high humidity the night we ran. and I still have stock spark plugs from the factory, they have never been changed and I have almost 92,000 miles on them. Boost is comin in late and not as hard and i was makin 8lbs, its now makin 6lbs of boost. do you think plugs and wires or just plugs would make any difference?

Its definitely about time for plugs and wires (your wires probably will crumble when you pull them off, so you may as well get new)- as well as all your other 100k maintenance.

What makes me wonder more is why you're not instantly getting into boost, and why you lost 2 psi?

What all has to be done and/or checked during the 100k maintenance? I need to start savin so I can get some of this stuff done, just moved into my own place in April and just a LIL tight on money.
