Pretty much very similar to how it was at the shootout. I didn't touch the motor just tweaked the suspension a little. I took out the spring perches in back, and cut 1/4 coil off. Wrapped with 3/4" heater hose so it doesn't squeak. That lowered the back about 3/4"-1". The air here was incredible. Probably around 1100', it doesn't get much better than that. First run was a 10.26 at 133.90 with a 1.50 sixty. I grabbed my spanner wrenches and lowered the front another 1/2" after that run. 2nd run improved to a 10.23 at 132.60. 3rd run was my best with the 10.15 at 133.65 with a 1.427 60 foot. Still not a stellar sixty, but the topend was great.

I will add a video soon, just got a new camera and the damn thing records in a file type not recognized by anything, lol.

Very nice Sooo close to the nines, you got a build thread? Any specs on the car?

Transbrake or footbrake? Always have to ask the guys running the big numbers.

Congrats on ur new best. That thing diff got some 9s in it.

Congrats! Keep tweaking and get in the 9's! Making mod n.a. interesting! What would you expect to gain spinning above 7k?

Way to go, tweak that suspension!

I never planned on spinning it over 7k when I ordered my cam. I wanted to keep the stock pcm. I spec'd it specifically to peak around 6600-6700 so when I shifted at 6950ish it would fall to 6400 or so and be perfect. The problem is nobody has a motor like mine at 414", so it was tough to try to find the middle ground. Every simulation program I ran wanted a cam around 266/272 or better, because they don't account for rpm caps like we have with the LT1 pcm. I backed it off hoping it would be right, but I blew it by 300-400rpm or so. I can tell by the way it pulls right into the rev limiter that it wants to go to 7300-7400 or so. It's probably peaking right at 7k as it sits. To answer your question, running it to 7400 would allow me to go much more aggressive on the rear gear, like a set of 4.30's. That alone would be worth a good et gain. I have just about everything I need to swap to a FAST XFI setup, just need the crank trigger and a cam signal. I don't see a problem with going 9's when I get it all installed and spinning real high.

Thanks man! I saw the New Era guys there with a few cars. Were you there too?

1000' DA with temps in the 50's? Weird. Must be the worst place in the world to run. Regardless. OMGsickwhips. You should drive that street car down to Cecil.

joelster

The track is 910 feet above sea level. I'll be in Cecil in November. No need to drive it there when I have a truck and trailer.

What track?

joelster

Empire Dragway, it used to be called New York International , in Leicester, NY.

Congrats!

A topic like this, makes me want to order the rest of my parts, that I need to be "legal" at the track..Yep, I think I'll do that now, lol.
