Well I didn't break into the 10s today but I did run consistently faster than last year and managed a new PB. I still need to work on getting the car to 60'. Hopefully next time out I'll get her into the 10s. Big thanks to Rob (98blueSScamaro) for all the help.

Here's my best pass of the day.

Thanks Chris, I was getting a little frustrated yesterday cuz the car just wouldn't 60'. But it wasn't a complete loss cuz the car did run consistently faster then my PB from last year. I ran 3-4 11.20-11.21s and the 11.13. I just need to get to the track with some of you more experienced f-body guys to help me figure things out. Rob was a big help yesterday though, trying to diagnose my 60' troubles via text. I can't wait for some good air!!! Give me like a week heads up next time your going to Byron and I'll try to make it out.

Not sure what the car weighs yet, scales were down at Byron.

Here's a vid of one of my 11.20 passes. I had the 2-step set at 6300 and tried a quick release rather then dumping the clutch. I kinda rushed through this process because it was the first time I'd ever tried it. So you can hear that I didn't actually launch at WOT off the 2-step which caused the car to bog. But this method did get me my PB 60' time of 1.51. Next time out I'm going to try this method again but keep the 2-step at 6500 and see if I can cut a 1.4x. I think if I keep the rpms up and actually launch off the 2-step I might have a little more success. Btw I hope ya'll enjoy my John Force style burnout!!!

That l was perfect. I am sure if it was on the 2 step that run you would have 60ed a 1.4x. let me know next time you go i am pumped to get this car in the 10.xx's

Yes I running 28" ET Drags I got used from Larry. Getting all of us together sounds like a BADASS idea!!! I'm definately going to Byron again on Nov 6th or 7th but I'm game for something earlier too if my work schedule will allow me.

Thanks again Rob, you, Larry, Chris, Studderin, and the rest of the guys that hang out in this section are what the LSx/LTx community is all about!!! Trying to make these cars move out and run numbers!!!

Btw, I'm on a ***** f*cking mission now!!! Goning to order a light weight race battery today or tomorrow that will go in the stock location (Just need to decide which one, leaning towards the 11.5lb Braille). Also gonna ditch my fog lights, remove front plastics, cut out inner fender metal, and delete/cut out anything else I can think of. I want this thing to HOOK & BOOK!!!

MFBA has Cordova rented Nov 6th. $45 for all the passes you can make. Should be an awesome time.

Mfba meet is a good way to get passes in. But I am game for both and derren you don't need to pull that much more weight but I like your mind set haha. We really just need to work on your 60 times and that bitch will move.

What's tech like at Cordova? My car doesn't have a cage yet cause it's still a streetcar.

Yeah, I know I can get in with how the car sits now but I'm going all out.

Anybody have a recommendation on which battery to go with? I'm torn between the the Braille 11.5lb B14115 and the 15lb B2015. I'd like to go with the 11.5 if it will work for my setup. My car has minimal accessories i.e. no hvac, no a/c, no stereo....

congrats again Darren

The car surely has a 10 sec pass in it with a better 60ft. I bet as rob said if on the 2 step this could have been the best 60ft.

I would also work on the shift..I do not want to hear you let off ever again.

MFBA is a "private" rental, and tech is usually pretty easy. I've never been turned away from Cordova either way.
