11 Second Club - In the 11's and .....

Hopefully 10's soon. :nod:

Decided to hit Capital last Friday for a few runs.

Cut to the chase, here's the runs on the MOTOR ONLY:

Hit it from idle (dumb move!) (f'ing right lane sucks!)
1.785 - 60'
7.360 - 1/8
97.27 - 1/8 mph
11.377@123.42 - 1/4"

Hit it from 2k (f'ing right lane sucks!)
1.81 - 60'
7.57 - 1/8
96.31 - 1/8 mph
11.619@122.46 - 1/4'

Hit it from 2k (left lane)
1.623 - 60'
7.223 - 1/8
96.47 - 1/8 mph
11.274@122.68

Stalled up to approx 2k (left lane) last and final run for the night:
1.695 - 60'
7.25 - 1/8"
97.43 - 1/8 mph
11.26@123.80 - 1/4" - Best 1/4 & mph

This was with the Hoosier DR's approx 19psi initially, then, played around with the air pressure and dropped them to approx 17 psi. Nothing I did appeared to be helping get a 60'. One thing I noticed is that the right lane is a bag of shit and was prepped like shit. I made one pass and had to get out of it because it spun so bad. Errr capital come on guys please prep the f'ing track!

I had a great time, put air back in the tires, pulled the T-Tops and headed home Glad I got some seat time and really need to learn what this car likes in regards to launching. I'm sure that I can get a better 60 foot then the 1.6 once I get the suspension dialed in.... maybe nitrous will get it out of the hole easier/faster? :pimp:

Cheers,

Hey bud.... had to liquidate and ditch the two cobra's, boat, and other toys due to divorce. I've had the LS1 for a few months and figured I'd try something new :D I've had chevy in the past (chevelle, camaro, etc) so I'm not a total stranger......

Nice, what heads and cam are you running

Congrats !! Your combo seems to be getting along just fine. 10's should be very possible this fall. :)

Everyone was saying that because Capitol is notoriously a track no one can seem to really hook at and was saying that I should be happy with a 1.6 sixty. I was hoping for a 1.4X sixty which would have put me in 10's. In the fall I'm hoping for a better 60 and a few more mph. Then it's time to spray this mofo with the twin kit that I have for it :bat_angel

Friday night I pulled a 1.45 on a 295 drag radial, have gone a 1.38 at Cecil, but this was only the 2nd time out with the car

You pulled a 1.45 @ capitol? Congrats. The night I went was like a skating rink LOL. :D But the other excuse (LOL I can make excuses) was that the suspension is new and i failed to dial it in properly.... OMFG .... that's what I get for not adjusting the shocks, etc, eh?

First run left nice, then the front end dropped and I was sideways on the track. The 1.45 came at the end of the night.

Friends with 6spds couldnt hook at all.
