Well this past Friday night I took my Buschur Racing powered FP Black IX back out to the track to see if I could better the 9.93 ET I ran a couple of weeks ago. If you have been following my threads you would have read that the 9.93 was done on a 100% stock ignition. We knew that this would greatly hinder the performance but ran the car anyway as time is running out this year. I now am running a Buschur Racing coil on plug ignition and was pumped to get the car back out as I knew it should greatly help. And it did!!

I made a total of 5 passes ranging from 9.91 to 9.79. I am very pleased with how the car was running and was bang on all night with my shifts. We worked with the suspension and sixtys and ET's got better and better each pass. Me being in a rush forgot to order a new set of spark plugs. The last track outing more or less fouled them out from running the stock ignition. My last and best 60 ft pass was hindered by a slight missfire between shifts.

Pass 4 of the night ended up being my best ET and MPH ever:

60 ft- 1.4220
330 ft - 4.1374
1/8 ET - 6.3604
1/8 MPH - 108.69
1000 ft - 8.2020
1/4 ET - 9.7904
1/4 MPH - 145.26

Pass 5 I made a little suspension tweak and busted out the best 60 ft ever:

60 ft- 1.3727
330 ft - 4.0910
1/8 ET - 6.3386
1/8 MPH - 106.65
1000 ft - 8.2042
1/4 ET - 9.8047
1/4 MPH - 143.91

I know there is more left in this setup. I wish my last pass of the night could have been a clean run. I bet the car would have gone a low 9.7...maybe a 9.6.

Time is running out here in Ohio and winter is coming up fast. With my VERY busy work schedule it might be hard to make it back out again. I am going to do my best to do so!!! Maybe next time I'll bring a fresh set of spark plugs and not be in such a rush lol. I have a few parts on order that I know will help as well.

As always thank you very much to my sponsors as you all help make this happen. Buschur Racing, Forced Performance, and Bushwacker Transmissions...Thank you!!

 

Congrats man! Update you sig & my stock appearing turbo list!

Do you think you will make it out to Englishtown for the Showdown??

And throw some new plugs in there man! damn...haha...

 

I will not be coming to Englishtown for the Showdown. I will for sure get kicked out and it is not worth the expense of bringing the car out there. I also just started a 8 week out of town job for work....sucks.

Everything should be updated

I have a video and will try and get it uploaded in a few days.

 

WOOWZZZERS. great job man. could you maybe tell me what suspension tweaks u can do while at the track? also what tires are you using. do you know the weight of the car? this is pretty dang impressive. E-Town would kick you out before you even got there. haha. u might even get an email from them just for thinking about showing up. HAHA great job

 

Thats a KILLER 60' time! Congrats on your new best time!!

Have any Vids?

 

1.3 60ft? good lord, what's the setup?

- Bryan

 

26 x 7 x 17 Mickey Thompson Slicks on OEM 8 rims and Apexi N1's. Stock swaybars, rear end supports, driveshaft, and front rotors. N1's spring rates are exactly as they came out of the box. Spring pre-load and adjustments took time and quite a few launches to get perfect.

The car weighs about 3000 lbs with me in it. Aside from the slicks it is still a street car and I drive it around for fun on the weekends normally on my 18 x 8.5 Enkei RFP1's and Mickey Thompson 245/45/18 drag radials.

 

Very nice my man!!!

 

Wow man! Awesome 60'. You definitely have this car dialed in pretty well.

 

You really have it dialed in! Good Job, great to hear you getting to the track before the snow flies.

 

That is SICK!!!! Loving the times man... congratz on some nice runs.

 

Holy **** man that 60 foot is awsome! You have come a long way congrats to you and buschur racing.
