Default Irwindale 6/31/11

I will be there, I am seeing how well my car does now that the motor and trans mounts are replaced with poly's. It feels a lot better, but I want to see if it translates into a better ET. If anyone goes I am the tall white guy with the pewter Z28 with 69 Z28 badges. Lets see some LS1's out there.

Will be going out there in a week or 2. See what times I get with probable wheel spin unfortunately. Hope you get some great times. Good luck.

I'm out. Gotta save some money to get these knock sensors replaced. It's going to ~20* of timing at anything over 1/4 throttle.

Gotta be all that extra horsepower from the polyurethane motor and trans mounts.

Lee, that must be it lol. Nahh I think new tires are needed. That has got to be the only logical issue, unless somehow my xar magically does a betfer job of putting down power now....or notlol

Do you have the WS6 that was there?

Traction would be my only guess, what was the 60's for your passes? Dry or wet shot?

Red camaro. Running mt's @ 20 lbs the first run then 13 lbs the second.
60' was 2.01 second was 1.94. Mph 82.30 with 100 wet shot twister was pulling 6*
, 87.00 without So im thinking fisrt run was just shooting fuel? Running 91 with some
torco.This is my first time at the track so i know i need more practice for sure.

Auto, yes i did purge. Im thinking maybe too much timing is being pulled. Since
i have a bolt on tune im not sure what the timing is set to so i set the twister to
pull 6*.
