What does it take to run a 10? 500whp@DB, practice, or both? Neither?

Grove creek is awesome, that's where I have done all my passes. You can literally do 50 runs a night if you want to, unlimited runs and there's usually not a whole shit load of cars there. It's also only $35 and they're lax on tech specs (cages, etc).

In one year, with the same mods and such I went from running consistent 8.3's to consisten 7.6-7.7's. I figure via the time slips I've seen, I'll need to run at least a 7.2 with the black to get the 10. I'm going to hit that 1/8th mile goal before I go to the 1/4.

Interesting...maybe I will see you at the grove then :)

I really want to hit it on the 28th so (if all goes well) I can hit up a 1/4 track in September. (specifically the 11th). We'll see what happens.

Not sure if you talked to DB, but your block is back now, just got back like wednesday or thursday, so that's a start, lol.

I ran consistent 7.22s in the 1/8th and 100-99mph. 11.1 on the 1/4 on those runs but I wasn't shifting to fifth, I opted to bounce off rev limiter at 8500 in 4th before the end of the track. Shifting to 5th the best was 11.3. I suck or am too much of a pussy and need to increase the rev limit to 8800. :D

Yea you need more revs man :)

I am going for a 9k rev limit normal, maybe 9.3-9.5 for track if i need it :)

Hell yeah, so my estimate of <7.2 should be about correct. Asumming I might have a tiny bit more high end, I might be able to get away with a 7.2X. (and the whole 5 speed thing, haha)

A black will mph better yeah but you should be able to cut 1.7x 60' which is nothing special, should put you in the 6.9s I would think pretty easily. A black isn't really laggy so the 1-2 shift should be easy to make without bogging.

Do you have a tranny that shifts?

Yeah at grove creek I think my best was a 1.7, usually around 1.8. (on all season tires) If I run a 6.9 I'll poop. Everywhere.

The tranny.. thats my one iffy thing. We're putting in a 6-puck since I'm sick of having lock out. So hopefully my tranny will fair better than before, the only one that might be terrible is my shift to 4th (synchro is likely on its way out).
