Congrats on the 10 second runs. My eyes are telling me you could use a little more air pressure in those back tires.

Yeah looking at the pics now, I could have added a bit. I was running 17 psi and it didnt seem to be low at the time.

Great run, congrats!

What changed from your previous best 11.48 run? Just the wheels or cooler air also? I'm currently runing around an 11.1@120 and trying to justify buying drag wheels. Thanks

My street wheels were 17" replica zr1s with et streets in the rear, which are very heavy. The week before I went 11.48 @121, but I have gone a best of 11.37 @ 118 on that wheel/tire combo. I had to ramp into it off the line to keep from spinning.

I ran the 10.89 @ 124 the following week with the only change being the drag wheels/tires. They are 15x3 bias fronts and 15x8 QTP's in the rear, which dropped just over 100lb rotating mass. I could hammer down right off the line with this combo and for the most part it would dead hook. Basically dropped almost .5 sec and gained 3mph with them, so I would say they are worth it.

Thanks for the info. I would say they are worth it also.

What wheels are they, weld drag lites? I cannot tell from the pics. Did you have to grind calipers?

killerwhale

What all did u remove to get the race weight down if i may ask? i wanna do that to mine next on my list..

KirkEvil

iTrader: (36)

Yes they are weld draglites that I had powder coated. I run 1/4" spacers in the front with no grinding and 3/16" spacers in the rear with a decent amount of grinding. The rears are 15x8 with 5.5 bs.

I removed everything I could without compromising the interior too much. !abs, !airbags, no front support, race carpet, aftermarket seats, no emissions, no washer tank, etc. All tubular suspension up front, and the hood is light. I still have all the interior panels but the door panels are aluminum that I covered in black vinyl. For the amount of stuff I pulled out I expected the car to be much lighter but some suspension parts, roll bar, and the s60 add a bit.

nice run man! Car looks good. Im trying to figure out how ypu jumped up 50 hp? I remember seeing one of your post a long time ago and you only had 40. What else have you done to the car since then?

KirkEvil

iTrader: (36)

400rwhp/345rwtq was my old setup, but the car made those numbers with the converter unlocked.

Since then I swapped out the ls6 intake for a VR ported FAST 102, and got re-tuned. Realistically I picked up about 25 peak and 10-15 across the rpm range from my old numbers. Not bad considering the new numbers were through an S60 and 4" DS, while the old dyno pull was through the stock 10 bolt and DS.

I heard Atco always have great air and everybody runs better there than at other tracks.

Running 10s n/a in a stock 346 is getting it done!

From looking at the clock, it looked like your 60' was a 1.54? What was your 1/8 mi et/mph?

I think it was the 140mph burnout that gave you the boost you needed to get into the 10s. Only person Ive ever seen do a wheelie in the burnout box...
