Default New PB, back on the SI List.

Ran out at Montgomery Motorsports Park today for Test n Tune. The weather was great. Two other friends of mine got new bests today.

Mine was as follows, Left Lane:



This was on 275/40/17 Nittos. Who says you can't hook on them? Most of my other passes were in the low 1.7x high 1.6x range.

Car is a stock internal 2000 Z-28 on skinnies with a 4000 stall converter, almost all bolt-ons, and 3.73 gears. Race weight was 3160 w/o driver.

I'll post up video as soon as I can get it edited.

What all do you have as far as weight reduction goes?

Pretty much everything you can do for free without having to hack majorly on the car.

nice times and those nittos hooked pretty good, but i think the MTs would have gotten you a high 1.4s with that 4000 stall, maybe only low 1.5s but none the less welcome back to the club, you still better beat my time soon with that bigger stall...

Don't worry, the MT's will be ordered within a month or so. I still intend on running low 11.4x's or high 11.3x's before it's all said and done. Then I'm gonna spray and catch up with you.

I know that with a MT it would have picked up the skinnies. It was damn close with the Nittos, only a sliver of the tire was on the ground in a few of the videos we took.

With me in it, my car weighs 3365, since I'm right at 205 lbs. I just can't bring myself to go as hardcore as a lot of guys on this board. I'd still like to get into the 11.3x's around the beginning of the year. I'm pretty much done for now, I just wanted to get one last shot before I build the rear and have to behave for a few hundred miles.

Future plans to get into the top 10 on the SI List:
-Built 10 bolt with a True-Trac (so it spins BOTH tires equally, unlike the Torsen)
-Summit Underdrive Pulley
-27" Tires, either Hoosier or MT (so I can spray later and not hit the limiter)
-More weight off myself (about 30 lbs)
-Good weather, about -1000 DA

Goal before I quit playing around with the SI stuff is 11.399, I think I can hit it.

What rpm launch did you cut your best 60ft?

1500 rpm, then floor it on the 3rd amber. Took a little bit of the hit off the tires and let the Nittos hook up good. (obviously)
