Single Digit Club - New best, 9.39, ran out of gear!

So while in Houston for Tx2k10 I made a pass at LMP. Went 9.39@144 on a less than stellar 1.57 60'. It was nice to run a new best, but I ran out of gear prolly 400ft before the traps. I'm running a 3.70 gear, I will be putting in some 3.25's to see if I can get into the 8's.

Also went 4.9 in the 60-130, another new best!

Here's the vid of the 9.39. I'm racing a turbo zx14.

Man that's bookin! Congrats on the new best, it'll definitely like some 3.25s. It was nice meeting you guys too, I was with theonepercent.net crew from OKC that was talking with you at the seudo night meet on Friday night behind Frankensteins and later when the race with you and 'Trust' was being organized.

Oh hell yeah, nice meeting you guys too!

the wind was obviously a factor lol. jp. nice pass bro.

An inspiration!

man that thing stays nose in the air all the way down the track

nice car I bet that zx owner was like WTF lol

i would sell my 14!!!! hahaha


nice run!

i have a nitrous 14 that goes 8.70's now if i had a turbo bike that went 10's lmao i would rethink something

Can't beleive they let a bike line up with a car, that would never happen at Etown.

Looks friggin good though walking away from a bike like that and damn nice pass!!
You think you'll need the gear swap with a better 60'?

Yeah man the car stops pulling at about 1000'. Could be valvetrain, not really sure.

i've always loved that car. lol. we should chill on my way back to texas from cali.

What was your 60'? Looked kind of sluggish out of the hole.

NIce runs, Car should run 8's with a little with some fine tweeking.

Nice run... With a low 1.3 60' time you'll be extremely close to an 8 second pass if not in the 8's.

I have a few questions...

Why do you think you're running out of gear? What RPM are you crossing the stripe at? What size tire are you running with the 3.7 gear? What is your converter slip %. All this is important.

Nice , good luck with an 8 sec pass , is it a street car or just for the track

Mike

rumblebox- lemme know when you come through

My 60' was a 1.57 on that pass, not very good but the DR's just don't get the job done. I have slicks now.

The car seems to just quit pulling around 1000' and 6k rpm. It shows on the dyno too. I put the 3.25's in and I cracked the intake and somehow blew an exhaust manifold gasket. I was on 24psi when this happened, I was really shooting for 150+ but shit happens lol. I just put my intake back on after having it welded (bbk ssi intake) and am almost done with the exhaust leak. I don't know if I should leave the boost turned up or just run low boost as I am tired of fixing shit.

My converter is a PTC and has a 4% slip on the top end.

The car sees much more street duty than the track.

thats awsome!

love the car. It definetly hauls ass.

Man I remember this when it had a MS3 and the bottle, and the videos..... What happen....

that stock ls1 finally took a shit after i quote 2 years of every weekend spraying a bottle through it 200 shot if i remember correctly

lol 2 bottles a weekend on a 200 shot.
