Smile new best tonight at orlando slipworld!

12.27 @ 109

my previous was 12.44. I added headers, y pipe and exhaust.

I'm untuned. I think i'm gonna get her tuned to see if I can break into the 11's. o yea no suspension mods what so ever, just nittos.

1.68 60'

I'd like to see what she's capable of after tuning and some lca's then I'll throw on the huffer.

nice times! I'm with John on this one: tune it and bring it to a good hooking track like BMP or G-ville and rip off an 11 second pass before the warm-up and the blower

Congrats on the times, what tires were you using? I was out there last week on Nittos and had a helluva time getting any hook.

I'm afraid of hooking too good, don't want the rear to break. But yea I think after tuning the car has 11.99 potential.

I wish my car had more done, I was staying with a high compression, head and cammed car last night. he was only running high 11's and was on slicks. I was pretty much right on his tail when I ran him.

IROC let me drive your car I'll get it to hook.

Maybe I'll catch you down there some night when the car spins bad, then you can see for yourself. That track is inconsistent, hooks like glue one time, then feels like ice the next time. My best pass was on a very cold night and the car had dead hook. Makes no damn sense.

That stock rear is gonna go any day now.I blew mine at the track with just 1000 miles on the car . Yours might last longer than mine cause your auto.I ran a 12.2 with bolt on's and gears also untuned and cut a 1.68 60ft.Next pass I tryed to improve on it and snapped an axel.Start saving for a rear then go for a electric water pump and tune and you will be 12.0-11.9's all day

nah I don't go drag racing every week and I'm able to preload the drivetrain to minimize the shock to the rear. I know a guy with a bigger stall than me with a 382 all bore heads/cam car,he's on slicks too that goes 11.0's and sees the track every week just about and he's on the stock rear, and has over 140 passes.

M6 cars put way too much strain on the rear they are complete different animal all together.

But yea I do have plans for a 12 bolt or a 9 inch sometime in the future. I may and probably will get the transmission built first.

Got something else going in that is gonna make me go way faster than 11.9's I may do an electric water pump chromed for the bling factor.

IROC-takes practice to get your car to hook right, don't think I just hit the go pedal and the car dead hooks everytime. I'm very in tune with my car , I can actually feel when the tires are spinning so I let off to let em grip again then hit it.

A good stall will help your 60 foots, trust me on that one.
