Finally!
Bolt ons only, ARH 1 7/8 headers, 3200 Yank, Rotofab CAI, Nitto NT05R drag radials, tune by Patrick G, installation work by Kurt.
This should put me several slots up the ranks.
Not just one time running an 11.9xx, but three times. Everything I did tonight was like the last time I went out and raced, except the DA was -1053 versus +88. The only prep was to lower the air in the Nittos to 20 pounds, and took the exhaust off behind the cats.
1.___11.942 @ 113.87___1.688
2.___11.915 @ 114.51___1.687
3.___11.921 @ 114.29___1.697
4.___12.049 @ 113.91___1.733
As of tonight I have reached any and all goals I have ever realistically set for the car. My primary goal was to get a bone stock 12.9XX, which I got (12.933 @ 107.70___1.959) in December 2009, then I wanted to get an 11.9XX with just bolt ons. Tomorrow I put the exhaust back on, Monday I put the GXP wheels back on and remove the Nitto drag radials. I can freely state the my racing is done for this year. At this time, there is nothing more to prove to myself or anybody else. I may even take off the Yank and put the stock converter back on.
I now have a car capable (in ideal conditions) of running a high 11 second quarter mile. Is my car normally an 11.9 second car? NO!!!!!! Let's don't forget this. My car is a 11.9 second car in ideal or a perfect storm of conditions.
