Default Big Mike and Cartek do it again!!!!!!

We ran the car today at Englishtown with the new NOS Direct Port Setup. Let's start with the temp., brutal, absolutely brutal! The DA was somewhere around 3000+. The heat was so bad and the humididty was sickening! Anyhow, onto the results! First run off the trailer:
60'= 1.486
330= 4.095
1/8= 6.289
1/8mph= 111.77
1000'= 8.189
1/4= 9.802
mph= 139.62

Notice the soft 60'. The car spun the tires violently all through the 60'. On my 9.98 pass back in May the car had a 1.40 60', but that was at Atco and E-Town is notorious for not hooking good. If we can get this car to hook I'm very confident the car will go 9.50's or better. Remember, stock ci. and forged internals with a pleasing shot of nitrous.

Officially the Fastest Stock cubic inch LS1 w/ power adder officially registered!!!

Dave, Julio, Roy and Rich really got their stuff together! I can't thank you guys enough for the incredible work you've done on my car! Everything is exactly the way I want it!

Better weather and a hooking track = 9.50-!!!!

Thanks again guys!

Larry, I really need to lighten the car up, the car weighs 3645 with me in it.

The pinion angle is set at -1.5.

John, that heat killed me sooooo bad! We will be running out at LID the last Sunday of the month.

Great job!
Set the pinion angle to -3 to -5 degrees. Will make a HUGE difference!
What slicks are you running, gear and converter/stall?

Congrats!
Chris

ps- was this a 250-300 shot?

Moose, give me a shout when you are ready!!!!!

Chris, I was thinking of going a little more negative on the P/A. Now that you mention it I probably will. I'm running a 28" tire with 3.73's and a 3400 converter.
