Talking 11.149 @ 122.82 with new setup.

Went to NED street night last night with the new setup. Did 9 passes. The track sucked. Could not get the car to hook for jack all night but last 2 runs were pretty close. Still didnt hook the greatest and I feel theres more in this car. DA was -130 and I got the boot for no roll bar.

Damn good results and with those 60fts you have some improvements on your ET to make.

I guess the guys doubting it could run 10s will be surprised.

Congrats, hopefully I'll have my car buttoned up soon. I'm finishing up some cosmetics then I'm going to finish up modding.

Awesome! If you can get your car to 60' in the mid-1.5's you easily have a 10sec pass.
-130DA?! That crazy! Wish we had that DA around here. My best In the car was in 2685DA

Yes the one 1.6 60' the car had was only .005 better than when the car was stock internal doing 11.9s. This time I even tried dropping the psi to 25, 20, then 18psi. I think this was the last street night for this car. It probably needs a good test and tune day.

My car likes surprising people

Thanks! Seems like you have been working on that thing forever! LOL. Hopefully you get it all squared away.

Yep test and tune day early morning in late oct. I want some -1000 air and a good prepped track
You should be able to get a better DA than that.

awesome times man! that' should break into the 10s easily. I read one of your posts when you were stock internals, are you still running a 3600 stall? I'm going a similar route as you are, this gives me hope! lol

awesome results with a very do-able setup! What are you shifting at and what RPM are you going thru the traps at?

Idk. But I do launch in D then when flying down the track put it in OD. It seems to shift into OD around 120 on the street so figured I better do it like that. I did forget a couple times but it never hit the rev limiter ha

There no doubt. People love seeing them. Had a couple people come up to to the car last night and say the car is a rocket out of the hole. I had to set the record straight and say I cant hook worth a damn so IDK what your talking about lol

Swap to some 16" inch wheel tires and you will do it in good air(those wheels are heavy) Autos don't need suspension. Too bad you don't have more converter...

My zr1s are 20lbs not bad. Silver painted 16s are 17lbs. They would help but my wheels will stay the way they are untill I can buy weld rts. I actually have some 16s in my basement lol.

From the way my car responds to a drop in the da ill bet it will be very close to 10.99 in -1000 da.
Yea coverter would prob get me there. When my trans goes ill probably look into something like pt4000.

Your vig3200 is probably very close to my yank ss3600.
