Default heading to the track in an hour :)

so most of you have read my thread of my car running 12.7 when it was bone stock, i am heading to the track in an hour and since that run i have made some minor adjustments. i got around to installing my intake lid and i gutted the tabs at the bottom of the intake. i also took off the y pipe and muffler and rigged up straight pipes coming off of the manifolds. also i took out spare tire and jack and did a rear seat delete including all the buckles. so with all that little stuff im excited to see where it will get me then i will be getting lt's a stall and a tune so then i can really see what it can do! ill post up how i do when i get back

ok so i didnt do as well as i thought i would, didnt end up beating my 12.7, i was running consistant 12.9's at 107. my buddy in his gto was racing me and was hitting 13.5 consistantly. it was substantially hotter then when i ran 12.7, da was at -267 and yesterday it was at 1475 but on our final run of the day we both ran out best my buddy was next to me and he ran 13.1 and i ran 12.8 . so im gonna have to try and go on a day with a better da and see if i cant cut it down a lil more. ill be posting the videos later today.

Yes, temp & DA make a big difference in times and how the track is hooking.I went 11.88@113 w/a 1.63 60ft on a good night and last time i went back it was warmer and ran 12.0's 7 times in a row w/ high 1.6's in the 60ft.
