8 sec street car w/ videos We had a big track rental Sunday that we put together thru need2speed.com. 8 hours of unlimited runs with only 65 cars.
What an awesome day of racing!
Well, I had been getting myself mentally prepared to do what had to be done in order to run the 8 today. First pass I turned up the boost to about 18psi:
9:41 AM
60.................1.305
330...............3.780
1/8................5.834
MPH............119.51
1000.............7.602
1/4................9.102
MPH............150.15
New personal best but not an 8.
Turned up the boost to 18.5psi:
9:56 AM
60.................1.315
330...............3.762
1/8................5.816
MPH...........XXXXXX
1000............7.580
1/4................9.081
MPH...........150.30
New personal best but not an 8. Exhaust hanger in the back broke and dragged the muffler right before the traps. I was sure a rod let go. Scared the **** out of me. Dragged it back to the pits and removed the v-band clamp that is under the drivers seat. So now I am dumped under the driver's seat.
Decided to try again at the same boost setting without that section of exhaust:
10:36 AM
60...............1.308
330.............3.762
1/8..............5.796
MPH...........XXXXX
1000..........7.545
1/4.............9.030
MPH.........151.53

Another new personal best but that ******* 8 wont come!
Another half pound or so should do it so up it went to 19ish.
11:38 AM
60..............1.291
330............3.734
1/8.............5.764
MPH.........122.63
1000..........7.507
1/4.............8.985
MPH.........153.58

New personal best and a legit 8 sec pass. Decided to park her and considered not running again.........EVER.
3 hours later, I've got my nerve back and decided that I had to back it up. Put the sub box and amp back in the car and loaded up for one more pass at the same 19# boost setting.
2:21 PM
60.............1.338 (had to be on the back tires)
330...........3.758
1/8............5.781
MPH.......121.52
1000........7.516
1/4...........8.985
MPH.......153.65
New PB MPH and matched the ET to the 1000th.
5 passes and 5 PB's. That's a good day of racing right there.
BIG PROPS TO THE CREW AT PBIR!!!! These guys have that surface WORKING!!

There are 3 different cars in that last video. First car is BonnarLS1 with an NA 416 LS3. Second pass is me and the last one is LS2Formula with an LSX422 w/ KYTP kit twin 78's. All 3 cars built in LS2Formula's garage and all tuned by me.
