Default Zturd GOES 10.81@130.08mph!!! FINALLY!

Well making what could be a really long story short. I made the last minute choice to get a ticket to race at Cecil on sunday at the Superstallions of the net track rental. Well the temps were very cold in the lower 40's. I changed the plugs for good measure, changed the clutch fluid, took the passenger seat out this time. I made the 1.5 hour drive there. Pulled in and immediately went through tech in the lanes. Some friends came over and were saying is this it etc. I said should I just go ahead and make a shake down pass since i haven't had it at the track for almost 2 months. They said yeah go ahead and make one and then let it cool down. I pull up and do a healthy burnout with the tire pressure at 14psi. This was the result....

1st pass:
60ft-1.604
330ft-4.571
1/8th-7.031
1/8mph-99.17
1000ft-9.158
1/4mi-10.912
1/4mph-129.50

I proceded to get my slip cause i thought it felt like a not so great launch and was expecting a 11.1x at 127mph. Well to my surprise i got that slip. I looked at it like in amazement. I look at the right lane and that was a 12sec run. I look up at my windshield for my # to match the one on the slip. (all while sitting at the timeslip tower). I undo the harness, undo the swingout bar, jump out of the car and look at my car# and back at the slip. Guy behind me gives the 2 hands up like uhhh WTF? I start yelling and jump in the car and head to the pitts. Seen a bunch of people coming over to say congrats and say was that me LOL! After a couple flying leaping hugs in to strong male arms I was absolutely stoked. So I let the car cool for a bit and went to go back.
I got behind a street tire car and in front of him was a big street tire truck. I was like oh no please oh please dont drive through the water... YUP you guessed it they both drove through the water. I was rewarded with the following pass:

60ft-1.723
330ft-4.680
1/8th-7.132
1/8mph-99.46
1000ft-9.251
1/4mi-11.002
1/4mph-129.64

Spun really hard but kept into it cause the nose stayed up. I was absolutely astounded with the MPH. I took out the passenger seat, installed meizere electric waterpump, had more gas then I would have liked about 3/8th tank. Drove to and from the track on the same tank 130miles lol. I did add 8oz torco to the tank when it would have been around 6-7gallons of gas in the tank to help mix it in by the time i got there.

So pissed at coming back the horrible 11.0's I came right back around and got in line. Shut the car off due to nothing but radial cars in the lane. I waited till i seen some bigger slick tire cars come around. Went in behind one of them. This was the pass I received and was my final pass cause I just didnt want to push my luck after this one. Though it shows the car would've ran a 10.7's easily IMO.

3rd pass:
60ft-1.551-spinning
330ft-4.512 light spin on 1-2shift
1/8th-6.959
1/8mph-99.30-WTF I've trapped 100mph before and couldnt do it today!
1000ft-9.073
1/4mi-10.819
1/4mph-130.08
picking up nearly 31mph in the last part of the quarter is insane IMO. Not sure how it did that. Last time the car was dynoed was at 444rwhp/385rwtq. It may have picked up a little with the elec waterpump and torco.
Well thats it, sorry its so long but I've been running 11.0x's for over a year now!

pm sent !!

I can't believe how close you came to not going at all....don't ever say you are unlucky again...lol

What a day we had. My buddy just put a 418 in his GTO. It seems slow to him..only 11.3 with a 1.4 sixty foot....so we take it to the dyno. The 4000 converter was flashing at 5000. We had to sit in the trunck to hold it down. It only put down 491 \464 tq locked. It was also shifting 500 rpm past peak....and after his peak the power took a 45 degree dive.
Anyway..we then moved it over to the Mustang dyno with the 1/4 mile feature. We reloaded the original tune he drove in on to have as a base. Ran it up and bam...third gear gone. Now he has motor and tranny problems.

Things different on these passes:
Meizere Electric waterpump-watertemps were 170deg's or better before each pass!
SLP 85MM MAF
Plugs gapped at .045 vs .055 before
Took pass seat out
Removed belt to A/C compressor
Better air -1300DA vs best before that I recall is -700DA
Better shifting? Not according to my video IMO

1.8t I didnt weigh the car the way it is yet. I would say a VERY close estimate would be 3250 race weight. Me and car.
