Default Long time..but you guys gotta see my new best!

What a beautiful freakin day! 48 degrees and the sun was shinin!

The DA when we ran last Weds was 1300ft(Best was 11.27 at 121mph with a 1.54 60 foot time) and today it was 137ft! Not to mention we are putting a cage in the car and pulled out the passengers seat, console and carpet freeing up about 80lbs. Hey..just had to run it!

Only about 20 people there and the track was all ours! Didn't want to get kicked out right away so we did 1/8 mile passes and we got warned on the first run to keep it over 12 seconds! Oh well, the car was feeling freaking awesome and figured we'd let it all hang out when the lanch felt great and hit the gears good.

Well on the third run the car spun but set me back in the seat HARD! Absolutley slammed all four gears the best I possibly could and decided this was it. Came back to get the slip and here it is.


60- 1.502
330- 4.491
1/8- 6.994
mph- 100.07
1000- 9.158
10.97 at 123.86

Only run for the day through the complete 1/4 mile but had two other 6.99 runs before that through the 1/8th to back it up! The girlfriend let it rip for one pass after I ran the 10 and she pulled a 1.48 60'!

I'm guessing it's 3370 racewieght. Not even sea level yet! Just give me some negative DA!!

Mark, I only made 5 passes with the GTP stg 2/TR230 setup. The best it ran was 10.88@125.5 on a 1.50 60'. The DA was +500 feet and the raceweight was 3400lbs. This was through a cutout. The track ended up closing before I could make some passes with open headers and collector extensions. This was worth .1/1mph with my other two setups. I really think with the open headers and the same air I ran the solid roller setup with, I could have got a 10.6x@127 out of it.

Congrats man. Do you have LS1 or LS6 heads? What size is your cam? Compression? Hopefully it is not top secret info.
I am looking forward to the 1.5 60fts in the next week or so.
