Zturd GOES 10.81@130.08mph!!! FINALLY! Well making what could be a really long story short. I made the last minute choice to get a ticket to race at Cecil on sunday at the Superstallions of the net track rental. Well the temps were very cold in the lower 40's. I changed the plugs for good measure, changed the clutch fluid, took the passenger seat out this time. I made the 1.5 hour drive there. Pulled in and immediately went through tech in the lanes. Some friends came over and were saying is this it etc. I said should I just go ahead and make a shake down pass since i haven't had it at the track for almost 2 months. They said yeah go ahead and make one and then let it cool down. I pull up and do a healthy burnout with the tire pressure at 14psi. This was the result....
1st pass:
60ft-1.604
330ft-4.571
1/8th-7.031
1/8mph-99.17
1000ft-9.158
1/4mi-10.912
1/4mph-129.50
I proceded to get my slip cause i thought it felt like a not so great launch and was expecting a 11.1x at 127mph. Well to my surprise i got that slip. I looked at it like in amazement. I look at the right lane and that was a 12sec run. I look up at my windshield for my # to match the one on the slip. (all while sitting at the timeslip tower). I undo the harness, undo the swingout bar, jump out of the car and look at my car# and back at the slip. Guy behind me gives the 2 hands up like uhhh WTF? I start yelling and jump in the car and head to the pitts. Seen a bunch of people coming over to say congrats and say was that me LOL! After a couple flying leaping hugs in to strong male arms I was absolutely stoked. So I let the car cool for a bit and went to go back.
I got behind a street tire car and in front of him was a big street tire truck. I was like oh no please oh please dont drive through the water... YUP you guessed it they both drove through the water. I was rewarded with the following pass:
60ft-1.723
330ft-4.680
1/8th-7.132
1/8mph-99.46
1000ft-9.251
1/4mi-11.002
1/4mph-129.64
Spun really hard but kept into it cause the nose stayed up. I was absolutely astounded with the MPH. I took out the passenger seat, installed meizere electric waterpump, had more gas then I would have liked about 3/8th tank. Drove to and from the track on the same tank 130miles lol. I did add 8oz torco to the tank when it would have been around 6-7gallons of gas in the tank to help mix it in by the time i got there.
So pissed at coming back the horrible 11.0's I came right back around and got in line. Shut the car off due to nothing but radial cars in the lane. I waited till i seen some bigger slick tire cars come around. Went in behind one of them. This was the pass I received and was my final pass cause I just didnt want to push my luck after this one. Though it shows the car would've ran a 10.7's easily IMO.
3rd pass:
60ft-1.551-spinning
330ft-4.512 light spin on 1-2shift
1/8th-6.959
1/8mph-99.30-WTF I've trapped 100mph before and couldnt do it today!
1000ft-9.073
1/4mi-10.819
1/4mph-130.08
picking up nearly 31mph in the last part of the quarter is insane IMO. Not sure how it did that. Last time the car was dynoed was at 444rwhp/385rwtq. It may have picked up a little with the elec waterpump and torco.
Well thats it, sorry its so long but I've been running 11.0x's for over a year now!

Thanks guys, good seeing you again aswell relr3rd.
Forgot to mention why I didnt run anymore. On the last 2 pass's actually, i was hitting the rev limiter at the trap. On the 3rd pass it threw a check engine light. Rev limiter is at 7K rpms. Not good for a stock LS1 bottom end with 101k miles on it IMO. I figured if I did the things I was thinking of doing, removing the serpentine belt for a pass and running panny hose as a filter for a pass the car would obviously get faster but more time on the rev limiter. I didnt want to risk hurting the car/engine and not being able to drive it back home. Plus a Ford Lightning threw its engine guts out at the end of the left lane my favorite lane of the day as I was thinking of running again. The track was already slippery IMO.
