The last time I ran was on July 4th at the Texas Motorplex. My best ET of the day was an 11.80 @ 112.8 MPH w/ a 1.62 60'. Raceweight was 3,515#, temp was in the mid-90's all day, and humidity was in the 40-45% range all day.

I have been running consistant 11.40's in the heat and even ran my new best in 82-84 degree weather. My spring, cool weather best was a 11.44@119.56. My mph has dropped to 117.XX but I did improve to a 11.41. My best 1/8 mile has been a 7.25 on my 11.41 run which is slower than my 7.23/11.44 run in the spring. I think this fall I can run some 11.20's. All Internaly stock!!!!

Edit post for 60 fts. Best of 1.51 with average of 1.53.Race weight is 3180. I broke the TA mount at the trans and I'm waiting on my new Spohn to arrive.

Went out to Heartland park with the new cam and dual exhaust. I would have had a better run and maybe even a new best in hotter weather but when I shifted to fourth the car fell on it's face for a good half second then picked up and went again.

My best ever in 50 degree, 35% humidity, 30.20 baro weather was:

60-1.569
1/8-7.257
mph-95.64
1000-9.467
1/4-11.316
mph-122.38

My best Friday night in 85 degree, 95% humidity, 29.95 baro weather was:

60-1.585
1/8-7.261
mph-98.02
1000-9.500
1/4-11.362
mph-121.28

That 1/8 mile mph was lookin sweet before it fell on its face!

Handful of 10.2x's-10.3x's at 132-134 mph.
with high 1.4 - low 1.5 60's
DA 2000 and above most of the day.

Little more seat time, and suspension tweaking ..I think there is a definate 10.0 in the car in the 2000+ DA summer heat.

Not an LS1....obviously....but I went 12.24 @ 111 mph 3 weeks ago in Reading, Pa. Temp was 87, DA was +2500 ft. To meet NMRA F/S weight, I had 195 lbs added to the car. To continue with my excuses ( <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ), the hot sun was REALLY hard on the track, and that run was with a way-off 1.78 60 ft (normally is 1.65-1.68).

Considering the lack of traction and extra baggage, I was quite happy...even though I lost the round (semi's) to the eventual winner.

I ran a couple of 12.0's in +1,100 DA weather on 7.6 1/8ths and 1.6 60's. But the other night in +2450 DA, I could only muster a 7.84 with a 1.7 60'.. Just couldn't get traction and the moisture was running off my car.

I know, excuses, excuses...

last time i went was back in mid may with temps in the mid 80s with humidity in the 50% range with a gusty head wind: 11.78@113.9 1.61 60ft.

Can't wait for fall with the new suspension stuff. Prolly port the TB in a few weeks and throw on a short belt for fun.
