Default New Best @ No Problem 11.17 @ 122.77

Ran a new best Saturday afternoon @ No Problem Raceway.
1.52 60ft
7.13 @ 96.89 mph 1/8th
11.17 @ 122.77 mph 1/4
Race weight was 3420lbs

Saturday and Sunday was the first times I've ran the car since switching to the F15 cam. I haven't had it on the dyno yet to see where the A/F is, so I'm not too upset with the MPH yet, but I was really expecting 124+, since I've ran 123.4 previously with the little cam I took out. The rest of my runs Sunday were in the 11.3x range at 122.2 to 123.06 all on 1.603 best and 1.694 worst 60ft times, the car never would hook again like it did Saturday afternoon late. I was running 13psi in the ET drags. The suspension mods I have are lca relocation brackets, tubular LCA's, and no front sway bar.

Things I learned from this weekend....
I realized after going to the shootout that I need to spend some money on replacing my stock suspension, changing out the 4.10's/26in tire combo for a 4.56/28in tire setup, upgrading from the stock LS6 intake, and loosing a little more weight.

Nice times. I'm surprised at the MPH as well. Get that thing on the dyno! Curious to see how that cam works with heads.

No, I'm still running the tune from the 225 cam. I installed the new cam, drove it out of the garage and up onto the trailer, drove it off the trailer and ran it down the track!!!! I have a dyno appointment for Friday to try and sort it out.

I'm sure it will be a beast once it's tuned.

Damn....1.52 60' is pretty good. What rpm were you launching at?

That time was about 6k and it still spun pretty good. What was so weird is that the other 9 or 10 times I ran this weekend, the best I could do was 1.60, 1.63, and loads of 1.68's. I'm going to a different tire/gear combo for sure after this winter.

where did you end up falling on the ladder for eliminations and where did you end up placing? Do you have a run down of some other times you ran?
What are the specs on the F15 if you don't mind telling?

I qualified 5th with an 11.31 @ 123.02 mph. I won my first round, but lost to the silver Z28 in the second round. He ran a 11.025 @ 123.27 on a 1.47 60 to my 11.311 @ 122.76 on a 1.603 60ft. The car liked running 11.3x time after time, I was just hoping for a little more out of it. The cam is a 236/239 .600/.610 111lsa 108icl. My raceweight was 3420-3410 all day.

I have a dyno/tune appointment at 12:00 tomorrow.. can't wait to see what the A/F looks like. By the way this cam pulls thru the midrange, I think it's going to have a really good torque number.

My car seems to be stuck in the 10.9's right now But hopefully that will change soon. Guess I should have ran that Friday night
