Congratulations on some great times.  That Saturday run of 8.134 seconds officially moves you in the second place on the list of ‘all time’ quickest Y runs.  The late Randy Gummelt previously held that second place record at 8.157 seconds and that particular ET has been in place since 2005.  In 2005 it was the quickest ¼ mile time ever posted for a Y vehicle but has since been eclipsed by Bob Lindsay.
 
Good job by all on getting those times quicker.  Keep whittling away at those ¼ mile elapsed times like this and the top spot (7.966) is not that far away.
 
Be sure to update your time on the ‘Best Times’ thread and move yourself up a notch.

Thanks.

Engine starts to be in twiligh zone. Injectors are running full duty at max pressure and fuel/air mixture is not so rich what we are hoping but ignition starts bugging also if going richer.
Crane HI-6 ignition box, spark plugs and stock distributor had come to an edge.

Still, if tomorrow's pass is clean from start to the finish line, there might come some good numbers.
Those Top Fuel's can really make lane sticky.

So effectively, you ran 8.134 while running out of fuel and with something in the ignition system operating insufficiently.  I think you'll get into the 7s without a problem once you resolve those.  Awesome.

Maybe little bit more fuel pressure if its possible and I have thinking about wasted spark coils from '96 Mustang to next race.
It's 1/8 mile race so it's not so have to thing yet.

Wheelie bars do help to control excessive wheelies.

Long burn outs lay down more rubber...



Picture taken in previous race.

As is this too...

Now we are burning some rubber...

Good ole transporter.

Next step in progress...

EDIS coils, wasted spark, no need for distributor... Simo can tell you more. I just install...

Direct coil control by Megasquirt3X via four ignition channels, modular Mustang coil packs, hybrid edis-stock style plug wires to get longer but weaker spark.

High tech (in '90ies) stuff for beated up low tech firetruck engine costing only wires and stuff from garage.

I dont think that average Y-Blocker want to know more.
