Default Nitro Funny car runs 1.56@86 MPH

well after testing a brand new clutch system and some other small things, my car came from 2.30's ET range of 81 MPH to 1.79, 1.67, 1.61, 1.5639 and then with a backed up 1.5612 ET's. I still have more left in the power dept. as I din't have the head deck set on semi-kill or kill. I was using Byron's 55% with 9% oil instead of the 6% oil fuel and I left the engine just a tad rich based on reading my glow-plug with a 10X magnifying glass. Here's the tickets and car.

Thanks man. I recently ran a new best ET of 1.55 getting way outta shape in the process. That pass would have been a 1.53 pass had I been arrow straight going down the track like I did on the 1.56 passes.

I have some more power in the engine that I "KNOW" for a fact is there but want to get all I can get out of it like it is as is first and then add the newer power making pieces. Can I dare say 1.49 ET's then[X(]. I am going to the World's Finals in Atlanta, Ga. in October and plan to whip azz with this car.

how long was the strip?

ALWAYS 132' track length which is the 1:10th scale size of the real drag racing cars that run 1320'

Is that a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine?

Hello and thanks.

The two most used engines are Novarossi Kangaroo which is on my car now and the Novarossi 35plus21. In fact you have a great engine modifier over there named Brendan and he can get your engine modded to run very fast. Send an e-mail to

[email protected]

he is in Brisbane.

These engines are 2-strokes.
