I am still concerned for you!

I would setup the car to run the least tire possible. Over tiring a car is just handicapping a poor suspension. I understand that it's a lot easier to just throw a slick on, but whats the fun in that? And if you are a street racer like Lemons has claimed in the past, then you don't want to have to run a slick just to hook at the track. I mean what are you gonna do outside of the track where there's no track prep to help you out?

I setup my car to bracket race and to be consistent. DR's and ET Streets are not consistent. I am pretty sure a 26X10 inch tire is not over tiring the car and there is nothing wrong with my suspension. You must have me confused with someone else! I am too old and have way too much to lose to run anywhere but the track!!

I'm not gonna put a heads and cam setup on a 144,000 miles motor with refreshing it and I hate to tear it apart with tit running so good. Not to mention how fun it is to have the quietest V8 at the track and outrun most of the people there.

So now I know why you are staying in the stock internal list. You like telling everyone look at me I have run 7.40's in my car with a stock 144K engine at 3,400 lbs. I remember doing that running 7.50's with another 265 lbs of weight in the car.

I understand that a 3300lbs 346 running mid 10s is no nitrous setup. More than 100 probably wouldn't give you any extra gain anyways. Just giving you a hard time.

Yea I feel like you are really giving me a hard time. The 10.25 run was just no fun at all for this poorly setup car! Let’s see my car is number 12 on the faster list so I guess I will just have to be happy with that!

I do find it odd that you run a slick and the suspension is still loose enough that you might have dragged the bumper with a 1.3 60' and only 75 more hp.

I felt the same as you that a 75 HP shot of nitrous really would not make that much of a difference and did not bother to change my front end setup from my NA runs that day, never changed the shock settings or tightened up the travel limiters. Like I stated before I made a mistake.

You don't have to worry about giving me a hard time. There are less people doing what I'm doing than there are doing what you're doing. Maybe because they aren't trying.

Jon, I went to the list for stock internals and noticed out of 50 cars you were at number 47 so it does look like plenty of people are trying to do what you are doing, but they are doing it a little better then you are!

Oh and Jon for someone that does not care what Lemons is doing you sure are quick to check the thread and post a response! I thought I stayed up late last night!!

Let me know when you ever get out of the mid 7's or high 11's and I will make it a point to listen to anything you have to say!

Lemons sorry for posting in your thread and I will not post any further no matter how much Jon attempts to drag me back into this thread!

Again sorry for posting and trashing up the thread!! Lemons congrats and good luck on your new times!

and actually.. i ran slower 60fts with faster ETs on 2 of the passes, it was also about 10 degrees hotter than last week.. dont know why..

i needed some kind of excuse as to why i run slower times and need nitrous to beat you... right, jon?

Even still, on the yet to be updated list, there is only one car as heavy as mine ahead of me (and he had the exact same time, but more mph) and I'm the only one (that I know of) on there that doesn't have headers. There are only a few that have made the 11s with similar setups. Regardless, I'm far from done with the bolt ons list.

What was it that you said your car weighed? Less then 3200? You would be towards the top of the list but you're a heads and cam car.

if i get a better time than a 7.2.. ill post up...

and if i remember, ill grab my slips out of the car tomorrow and post up the times after work.... all for you..

i wish i knew exactly what a mod would give me and how my car would respond to it... must be nice...

in the ball park of.. havnt weighed it lately.. good observation on me being a H/C car... i dont think most in this thread caught that...................

Just saying that they don't weight more. No one has had a better ET without headers (to my knowledge). Though I'm sure no one is trying. (which is what I was talking about that N2 commented on)

Saying that I'll gain a few tenths from headers is considered seeing the future? I don't know of anyone who's gained less. I'm sure they are out there, but I don't really think that they matter.
