Default 11.19 @ 121.96

Spending the weekend at National Time Trials.
Put 125 shot to her and she went 11.19 @ almost 122. Forcefully accelerated and lifted at the top of second, didn't feel like it was going to shift. Going to bump it to a .059 n20 and .034 fuel tomorrow and try to get her into the 10's!

I agree.

What converter and transmission are you running?

It should be easy to get down into the 1.5s.

Sorry about that they changed the image....

I'm currently running a PTC Race 4000 NLU converter, but recently picked up a TCI Lockup that the guy says is a 4000 as well. Transmission is a home built 4L60E....

I discovered we bent the Panhard bar on that run so I just got a Spohn piece and will be installing it today. Might head out Friday night and see if 10's are in my future...

How much spray are you running? By your sig I would have though you would trap higher... Nice run though...

It was about ~120 HP at the crank (.052 n20 and .030 fuel)

I know I have some tuning I need to work out with the car because of the new SLP MAF.

Based on what I know the car weighs, thanks to the active scales, and the ET/SPEED, Im guessing ti was making close to 500HP at the wheels. I know my gear is holding me back big time. Im thinking with a bigger shot it'll go easy 10's how it sits, might even on that shot if I dont lift and it will shift...

Weight reduction? IMO you could be alot faster, without adding any more power...what cam? and gears?

Just a junk yard 10 bolt out back with stock 3.23 gears.

The cam is a Comp Cams custom n2o grind, very similar to the one run by Rapid Motorsports in their 99 Trans Am, but larger and meant for a 427+ cube motor, not my 347

Car weighed in ready to race with me in it at just a hair under 3600lbs, I dont know if thats heavy or normal for these cars......

I dont want to do too much weight reduction to the car because I still do drive it on the street a couple times a month.

I know once I get the rollbar installed I'll probably relocate the battery to the rear, but not sure if I will do much else.

Im thinking a real tune and gears are going to be by biggest help, probably 4.10's because of the conveter / RPM I turn the motor...
