Its been a while since I posted here, so I thought I would throw up some videos from the 1/8th mile track last week. Against the lightning I ran a 8.40 @ 80.69mph and the pass against the silver mustang was another 8.40, but at 81.17mph. And the pass against the black mustang was a 8.09 @ 82.71mph with a 50 shot.

I did redlight, but it was a .4741...so I jumped the gun only .03 seconds early...DAMN!! As for the tire weight, They are about 24lbs each...I dont know where in the hell Jegs got 8.8lbs from???
damn and i was getting my hopes up for 32lb wheel/tire combo,lol well i know the wheels are 24lbs each and figured the tires where about 20-22 so looks like i'm only losing maybe 13-16lbs per wheel now
stock 18's with kdw's about 62-64lbs
new 17's with drag radials 48lbs..

Her, thats right HER, best of the night was a 8.90, and my worst was a 8.44
My friends uncle has a stock Lightning with a smaller pulley....says he runs mid 8's in the 1/8 mile.....normal for stock???
That sounds about right...That smaller pulley is probably giving him 1 or 2 more pounds of boost. Most stock lightnings I have seen run high 8's. It was funny because she had no time on here window and told me she runs 8.40's...haha
So I told her to let me know when she wants to run. She got in line real fast, and I saw her, so I gave the video camera to my buddy and chased her down...She didnt talk to me for the rest of the night

Good kills there Hemi, If I am ever up in your part of town I will run you in my Porsche.
And I will hit the 125 shot...hahahaha...j/k
I am using M&H Drag radials. The ones I used in those videos were 275/50/17's and I also have a set of 325/45/17's that I will use when I start to run a bigger shot.
