Default Finally made it. 10.93 NA 355 lt1 6 speed

Finally got the car all back together and headed to the No problem raceway to see if I could finally hit my goal of a lt1 headed 355 with a 6 speed in the 10s. Well..I made it. First pass it popped out of 3rd about 1000 rpms too early..I coasted for a second..then I stuck it in 4th and ran it out. 1.50 60' and 11.10 at 122

Dropped 1/2 lb in the rears and tried again.

1.485 60' and 10.967 @124.96

..wooohoooooo...finally...made the 10 sec. pass. Now that the pressure was off and I settled back down. Made another pass..no changes to anything.

1.483 60' 10.969 At 124.86

It bogged just a tad on this run. I decided to see what the track would take so I turned my two step up to 5200(5000 before) and went on the two step at half throttle instead of barely touching it before. When I dropped the hammer this sucka stood up..well..stood up for a 6 speed..lol. Friends say about knee high..set em back down and ran it out

1.45 60' 10.93 @124.76


All I can say is finally

Now time to change everything and go faster...lol


Tim
