Well I decided to brave the weather and still head down to WSID last night.. was fairly quiet due to the ugly sky.. got 5 runs in before 7.30 when we got rained out..

All in all.. a BIG learning curve.. had a few inside tips from Rhino, but unfortunatley didnt get the results I wanted.. averaged around the 13.5 mark all night with a best of:

13.45 @102mph

60ft = 2.078

Air temp = 29 degrees

Humidity = 95%

not a very big burnout (traction wasnt an issue) 2100 Stall, manual shift at approx 5500 and kept it straight..

Now correct me if im wrong, but compared to alot of other stock FGs on here my 60ft = not bad... Mph = very ordinary... Combined that with the fact its the first time ive raced her and its probably your typical rookie run..

Based on these things, any tips for a rookie for next time????

I think you've done well mate, nothing to umm and arr about. 13.4 is either what or very close to what Ford advertises so its all good. I think my best 60 foot was about the 1.8 mark with best MPH of 109, best ET was 12.881 or .883 can't remember. 29 is warm. When I ran at Compak Attak we chucked some Toluene in to combat the heat on the day and keep timing from retarding too much. As for tips, its time to spend some moolah and get some more lol you know you want to! Depends on your budget but its cheap to make power in these things. Justin wrung 290kw out of a stockie from memory with just a tune. You gonna come again next week? Who is?

Ill be going down, Racing the mates WRX (JETREX) though, hoping to hit 9's if the track temp is ok and the new NOS kit dont blow up mid track .... I dont think I will run My beast .... My inlet temps are running too high from this sh*tty hot weather, I do not want to do damage before its debut.

Im getting some Billet axles from CV for $800 also so I might wait till then. either way ill be down there to be a track rat as always.
