Also on the one run which I launched around 4000 RPM and got some wheel hop I heard some kind of clunking noise in the rear, which freaked me out. But after letting the car sit I never heard it again, even after more passes and the 45 minute drive home.
Thanks again Frog!!!
That is a great idea, I will see about going to a dyno shop to see what the horse power is.
I could not agree more about the seat time. This was only my second time at the track with this car, how ever I had a ton of runs last night (around 20) it was so empty that I had...
Thank you Frog!!!
I was able to read your info in a prior post and it did help me a lot with launching(great info for drag racing a viper) last night, that was the main reason I was kind of confused about my traps.
My ET was not changing more then 1 MPH difference no matter what the rest of...
I decided to post on one of my old threads because I ran into the same issue at the drag strip.
Well being that I have owned the car now for a few years and feel much more at ease with the it, I decided to take her back to the track with some friends last night. I ended up launching much harder...

Just make sure to drain the filter while under the car to prevent spilling it on the way up.
Another update. I drove the car a good bit today after replacing the relays to see if the fans (now working correctly) had fixed my issue. Well it seems there is still a problem with my car running hot, what is different now with the fans working is the temp gauge will still get close to the 220...
I was going back over some things today and remembered that when I was testing the fans that I never shut off the AC. So when doing so the fans did not kick on unless the AC or defrosters was on. I went to the auto parts store and picked up 3 new relays (even though the ones that were in the car...
I agree with doing the flush, it was on my to do list this year. But I did not want to spend the money on that if there is something else wrong or broke.
