Haha. Yeah, I hear you there. It's easy to go to rangeracceleration.com and read how he runs those insane times and get your gameplan together. Then, just as you said, get to the line and drop the hammer, try to run out wheel hop, hit the rev limiter, etc etc. Next thing you know, you have a timeslip in your hand with an extra 0.5-1.0 second on there, you talk about what you did wrong and what you'll do next time, then go out and do it again
.
By the way, I graphed my acceleration from EFI Live data. Unfortunately these were my two worst runs. I didn't log the other three, of course.
Run #1 (12.56 @ 118):
Run #2 (12.50 @ 120):
Run #1 also had about 3-4.5 degrees of timing pulled over about 80 mph. We had messed with my tune some Saturday and added about that much timing. It didn't knock that night but I guess being slightly warmer Sunday, it did knock. We put the old tune back in for run #2 and no knock at all.
