Thread for when you hit a new PB

Hey All.

Saw we had a bunch of different threads for PBs, wondered if it might make sense to have one where we could all just chime in/add on when we hit a PB.

I'll take a shot at kicking it off -

Recently upgraded to a standalone 8-rib belt system for the Whipple with a 3.125 pulley, a 102mm TB, a return for the fuel system and catless mids. Updated setup dyno-ed at 812 horses/763 torques.

Hit the track yesterday and after a few dial in passes, hit a PB of 10.414/137.78 MPH. Ran a little slower on the next pass, but managed to land a PB 60' and 1/8 - 1.568/6.768, respectively.

All in all, a fun and satisfying day out.

Psyched to hear other folks' fast times and what got them there.

So, this last summer was lame for me with racing as we just purchased a new house and have been nothing but busy with renovations since.
Any way , summer of 17’ with the 16’ charger scatpack I managed a PB of 11.88 @ 117 w/ 1.64 60’. The car had long tubes , 88mm tb, and lmi along 18” wheels and 555r.
The end of last year I decided to start from the bottom and build up so I went ahead and ordered a 392 based 426 from bbp and had installed and tuned by true street performance and Aj. Also pnp arrington phase4 heads and custom grind camshaft. Along with same mods as previous 392. Come springtime I hoping for some new pb’s for the car and to get some baseline numbers for progression.
This is a great idea for a thread , I’ll be glad to report back:)

Great night out at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, CA.

Recently added Lakewood drag shocks - 50/50 rears and 70/30 fronts - and turned my boost up approximately 1 PSI - my gauge tonight read a peak of 20 PSI even - and the results were big gains in 60', 1/8 and 1/4 (by more than .3 sec).

New PBs are -

60' - 1.514
1/8 - 6.511
ET - 10.101

Dying to figure out a way into the 9s.

Ran in a pretty cool event at Irwindale Dragstrip tonight - a best two out of three match race against an opponent with a very similar ET. Was matched up against a 68 Nova with a 427. We both run approx a 6.5 1/8th, but in very different ways, which made for some cool races.

This was both of our first time on pro trees and neither of us distinguished ourselves.

Race one, he treed me and beat me all down the slip besides MPH.

Second race was a hero pass for me, setting a bunch of new 1/8th PBs-

60' - 1.482
330 - 4.232
1/8 - 6.484
MPH - 109.31

Funny enough, even though I bested his reaction tome by .007, be beat me in 60' and 330 and I needed a big back end to earn me the 6.484 to his 6.506 and light the light.

Third race was exciting because I needed a hole shot to beat him - he ran a 6.478 to my 6.489, but my .239 RT vs his .316 was enough to win the race and the match.

Like this format, would definitely want to do it again sometime.

New PB for me

There's more in it I know. That was my first pass with the new set up and the first time on front runners (that's interesting to say the least)

I have smoke billowing from under the hood before the tires even break loose in the burnout so it was a VERY quick burnout. I'm gonna have to have someone watching and do one with the hood open to see the source. No smell, just smoke. Idk if it's the belt or the crankcase vent. I'll figure it out though lol

Car ran great though.

Ran a 6.263 in the 1/8 at 109.87.

Can't wait to turn that into a 9.X 1/4 soon.
