Thanks, to be honest I don't have a clue what it weighs. That's something on the to do list. Lol

Impressive times and the car looks the the part! Any other plans for the car?

I'm going to have AI port my 243s as well just going with a milder cam. Hoping for a similar trap in my 6-speed hardtop car.

Thank you, I'm going to change some suspension settings and try it one more time as is. Next I'm going to add some gear as the car is lazy with the Th400 1st gear and 3.73's, and I'll see where I get with that.

I don't think you'll have a problem hitting your goal, A.I. Does great work.

Thanks man, definitely will do that in the future but I'll swap some 26" drag radials on it and see if it picks up any for now.

You're so close to a 10. A little weight reduction, maybe a Chris1313/SSRA and you'll be there for sure. Did you know the DA of these runs? The more I see these AI cars doing work the more eager I am to send my 243s off!

DA was 100ft for the first set and -1000ft for the second set. How accurate the app I'm using is, I don't know. It doesn't seem to be very accurate, does anybody know of any good weather indicators?
I'm going to try a set of 26" tires and see what that does. A fast intake would get me there but I'd like to do it with the ls6. Get them heads sent out! Lol

Thanks man, this is off the foot brake.
It's Mardi Gras season down here, so after that I'll swap on the 26" mickeys and go back for another try.

Update:

Well guys, I ended up getting to make some passes with the 26" Mickey thompsons. However, they had a bad headwind and I couldn't get the car in the 10's that day. After 4 passes I decided to hang it up for the day. It did go consistent 1.58 short times however so I was happy about that.

I have this video from the previous track outing.It isn't great but it's something.

This is the 11.14 @ 122 pass:
