Default Re: Impossible to achieve high 1.20s sixties

Don't have any of the old tickets Joespanova, but my nova we talked about was similiar I remember incrementals.

Usaully around 1.27 60' best remember is 1.26
best 330' remember is 3.94
best 660' remember 6.12 @ 109
Had 3.25 1st. 5.57 rear left @ 8800 shifted @ 8200 just past 60' timer had Mc leod soft loc w base all the way down 300 lbs (i believe) and no counterweight added.
I don't know what rpm you crank but,I think you said 3.25/5.86,I'm guessing it would take around 9000-9500 shift point to clear 60' in low gear

You'll probaly find @ least .05 quicker or more by being shallow staged,not to mention there's no way to race w/ car moving RT/ET will be all over the place,if you run full tree just stage @ idle and set line loc,no reason to bring engine up while staging on full .500 tree,get staged locked it down then you can zing it.
if running pro tree get brake pressure gauge and find the right pressure for you,so you can stage w/rpm up

You have to get car to sit still in beams,have positive stop for clutch,and same RPM everytime to make car consistent @ET,RT
You need positive stop on clutch,so air gap is same everytime(start@ .050'' if shifting w/clutch) so car will hit the tires the same,RT's will be consistent,I use micro switch on stop to operate line loc,so I don't have to release it,if use 2 step hook there also
