12.teens in the heat

I must say that I'm impressed with the way the car ran this weekend. 12.16@110.6 in 92 degree heat. Unfortunately the performance started going downhill from there. I ended up with a 12.32 @ 109.8 on my final pass. The car was smoking pretty badly. It looks like the motor is taking in oil from somewhere. I pulled the #3 plug and found that it was saturated in oil. Coincidentally, that is the same cylinder that had a broken spring a couple months back so it is possible that I may have a bad valve guide or valve seal. I did pull a couple more plugs and so no evidence of oil, though it did look like I'm running very lean. I don't know why especially since the car was dynotuned.

Good times man, but I'm gonna be honest, I saw "12 teens in the heat" and didn't quite realize that this thread was about times. Such dissapointment but still neat, lol.

The 60' on the 12.16 pass was a 1.61. The best 60' after that was a 1.65, which is why I knew something wasn't right. I do have 3.73s gears, but they are in 12 bolt rear. ET streets are 26/10.5. I normally run them at 14 psi. My best 60' so far has been a 1.55 and my best mph has been 116.1.
