Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Dyno and Drag New best quarter mile time

Just got back from Rockingham dragway. Made three runs. It was about 55 degrees.

I let the car cool down and iced the intake for about 1 hr before making the first run. I didn't do a burnout, just did a dry hop to clean the tires. I launched at about 2000 and bogged the motor pretty bad, as the 60' time shows.
R/T .756
60' 2.525
330' 6.626
1/8 9.811@78.09
1000' 12.497
1/4 14.774@96.71

I iced down the intake for about another hour before I ran again. I did a pretty healthy burnout this time, and launched at about 3000. I let out the clutch pretty quick but did not just dump it. This produced a little bit of wheel spin. I got my best 60' ever as well!

I let the car ice down for another hour then ran again. I did another healthy burnout and tried to do the same launch as before. This time I got some moderate wheelhop, but it didn't seem to effect the 60' too much.

All in all I am very happy with the times. There is more in the car. It felt a little down on power when compared to the way it sometimes pulls on the street. I think there is a high 13 in it if it runs as good as it can. Maybe next time.
