Default Finally broke into the 10s

My previous best last season was 1.543 60' 11.304 @ 121.65 with a 3400lb race weight, since then I added a FAST 102/102, Speed Density Tune, FTP 104 lid, MWC tubular K member, Strange pro series front race brakes, Mickey Thompson ET fronts, Billet Specialties 15x3.5 Street Lites, Meziere EWP, ABS delete & Pulled the impact bumpers. I spent a lot of time over the summer tuning the suspension, launch RPM and tire pressure. My goal has always been to try to hit 10s with the ls6 while keeping the car streetable, it still has ac, heat, factory stereo, and full interior minus the passenger seat and rear seats when racing. I daily drive it in the summer, totaling about 12000 miles this season since the spring time. Anyways after having some transmission and clutch issues over the last month and a half I was able to get my car back together friday and went to make test passes friday night. Needless to say it all payed off!

The da that night was -1000', the stock fuel pump isnt keeping up though so the car was a bit lean.

Hahah yea well that doesn't hurt either. Most everyone on the east coast including yourself can take advantage of the killer air around this time of year
