HRP was full of **** boxes today. What a waste. Watched a particular black FRC grenade the tranny or rearend @ the line. John Landers went a 10.09, then a 10.04, seems the sudden dips in rpm are hindering him in his 9 second quest. I don't know what the deal is with that??

I had some friend going to the IFO today. On one car is turbo failed on the Dyno yesterday was hoping for 600+ until he got bigger injectors and fuel pump. One of the other that was suppose to be going was making 815hp.
There ET might only be in the 9's or 10's but check out the mph. 150+

I got to HRP around 2:00 and got in 3 runs. 12.1, 11.9, 11.9 all at 121.xxmph. Not bad for my 1st time out but could be alot better. After watching the G-Force vette blow his rear I got scared, how much of a beating can a stock C5 rear take?

The dips in the 10.04 run were caused by low battery voltage. We tried to run it with no belt!
And the blown rear was my FRC.
I did run a new personal best mph on motor! 129.5mph

Did you get a 10 out of her? and sucks about the rear end what broke? Drag radials = 100% bonesaw! Slicks = 95% bonesaw! Wish I would have known still kinda weird that your mph is so low mike, I think it should do atleast 132 with the dyno numbers it is making. Maybe I need to drive it!

Yea I should have known. I had tons of problems with the old black vettes rear end! Oh well live and learn. Ive been searching ebay since i got home for the parts to do a auto swap. I might be putting a auto in my corvette. And I had no traction on my first 2 runs. It only hooked in 3rd and 4th. Had I got a clean pass I dont think a 10sec run was out of the question.
