Talking Here I come!

Made five trips to the strip with my latest mods, the car ran between 12.1 @ 116 mph and 12.2 @ 115 mph. Then I realized that the throttle body was only opening a little over half way with the pedal to the floor.

I corrected this and went back to the track. I had a 1.90 60ft and ran 12.03 @ 118 mph spun quite a bit when I hit 2nd gear, 1/8th mile times and mph didn't improve at all. 1/4 mile ets didn't improve much, but between 2 and 3 mph increase in traps!

I figured with a better 60ft, I would hit 11s. next run, 1.82 60ft, 1/4 mile 12.08 @ 118 mph Even more 2nd gear wheelspin. I wasn't as sad as my friend with a modded Z06, though. He ran 12.001 @ 119 mph , He was ready to .

Needless to say, no 11s, my best of the night was 12.01 @ 118, my worst was 12.08 @ 118. Can't wait to get my new Z06 MAF on, but Exotic Performance Plus can't get me in for a tune until the 16th. Oh well, guess I'll have to be patient, maybe I should fix my off-balance driveshaft while I'm waiting.
