damn good time for your modifications. i WISH my car was that light, i have to weigh it but i know it is at least ~3750lbs with me in it- my old one was 3800+ with me in it...

at your rate get some lt's/ory/cutout or lt's/true duels and i'd bet you'll see 11's.

also- you stall it up that high? . i usually go from around 2500-2700 and flash the converter, but if i flash it from say 1500 it will flash all the way to 3800, i just don't like doing it because it feels like it shocks the drivetrain alot (don't want to break **** 1 & 1/2 hours from my house), plus i see no improvements in my 60fts from doing so. i hit 1.67- 1.69 every time unless there is wheel spin.

My next mod will be QTP's 1 7/8 headers with their ory and borla XR1.

Yeah I stalled it up to 3500 and just released the brake and off she went. That's why you see the rear come up in the vid. The transmission didn't like a higher stall than that as it couldn't hold 1st gear and slipped into 2nd on my last run.

I know about the rest of the exhaust but I didn't spin with the nittos. If the tranny could hold a higher launch, I would have seen very low 12s without full exhaust.

you must have so much fun at the track , i get very frusterated when i dont get atleast a new best when i go , or when imake one 12.95 sec pass and dont get a chance to go again when i know the car can do better if she could just cool off. but i just end up giving up on waiting and stand there and yell at all the ppl who break down and decide itd be a good idea to try and race after their car JUST broke down , then they go and their rear end breaks and exploded crap all over the track! as if they didnt feel like an *** before , they get to hear me yell at them and tell them how much they suck!

Damn, maybe you should try a different track. I'll be going to Atco most likely December 3rd. Maybe I'll get a new best.

Hey man, I won't be there this weekend most likely next weekend or the weekend after. Let me know how the Benz runs. Once you get some good DRs for the T/A I see low 11s in your future. Better get a roll bar
