60' Times

Just curious what kind of 60' times people are looking at... AWD, FWD, regardless. The strip season is coming up, and I'm getting a bit of cabin fever. Rather than talk about 1/4 times, I'd rather discuss and build concensus on how to lower the (my opinion) most important part of the time slip. Please chime in with your set-up, best times, etc. I gotta figure out what I need to beat this year!

Slo-Pny Day Predictions

Well, I started the thread last year, might as well follow suit.

Who is going to run what? Nate, Kazz, Kris, Xian, Trav, etc...?

Spy ran 13.3, and then broke, so I'll give him some slack 'til he's running again.

I think I've got a good shot at getting into the 12s, after beating Dan by a good margin and knowing his times. 8 more psi, colder intake air and better timing will be in effect, so I'm looking forward to seeing what she'll do.

My call... On the record, and trying to be realistic, not optimistic, 12.6 @ 116. Seems like a rough time by the looks of it, but I know how tough tuning at the track can be. I'll also say that I'd LIKE to see 12.2-12.3s, in the 120 range. I think it's possible, if we can get all dialed in properly. I still love my fwd, but it's times like this that I get a bit envious of the AWD guys. What'cha got?

Interesting sounds...

Here is one that is new to me, not on DSMs, but overall.

I start the car, and I think I hear lifter tick. Well, I do, just worse than usual and of a slightly different pitch.

To be honest, it sounds exactly like a bad plug wire, only there is no arcing on the wires and the plugs are fine. There seems to be a misfire accompanying the sound, which furthers my opinion that it is something in the ignition.

The arcing noise is coming from near the injectors, but they are not the culprit.

Ideas? So far I think it could be the coil pack shorting, but I can't trace it to one cylinder, the problem is intermittent. I have no light at the moment, so I can't check the plug wire connection at the coil.

It's rare for me not to have heard a particular noise, especially on a DSM, and I have heard this before, but not in this location. Head-scratcher for sure.
