New best ET in my LT1
I found out yesterday morning that one of the tracks near me was still open, so I popped in there for a few runs and ran a new PB! My LT1 has only one mod on it, the SLP 2OTL exhaust. My previous best was 13.74 at 100mph (2.00 60ft) in bone stock trim, which was done with a long cooldown. My new best is 13.68 at 100.4, also with a 2.00 60ft, but with no cooldown at all, I was hot lapping. My car always runs a tenth or two quicker once cooled down. I was also running on a full tank of gas, and with 6 big jugs of washer fluid in the trunk (for extra winter traction since it's going to start snowing here pretty soon)
Weather was phenomenal though, 37F, 51% humidity, 30.6" of barometric pressure. The track didn't hook as good as it did three weeks prior though, when I cut a 1.94 60ft, but unfortunately on that day my car wasn't running right at all, it had a bad hesitation in the top end (which mysteriously went away, thankfully)
Next year I'm shooting for a 13.5 with this car with no changes, just with a good cooldown and good traction. I tried one run with the car totally cooled down but blew off the tires on that launch.

Nice Patman!! 13.6s with just a catback LT1.
Don't even remind me of the coming snow. I'm really not in the mood for snow this year, I may just sleep through the winter season this time around...

I do want to do some minor mods, but to be honest, I don't want to spend a lot of $$$ on this car because I plan on replacing it with a C5 in about 5 years.
