Judsons car was flying at HRP. It was also flying at Atlanta. If we could have adjusted the rear shocks for the conditions the car would have worked killer.
On the other hand Joes car is the dominant one so far in the LT1 world.
BG will tell the tale.
I think the 1.24 60ft will help the iron LT1 block in BG.
It will definetly be a chassis tuning war going on.
Magnus if you dead hook your car you will slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at Prostock etc.

I swear, 'LS1 People' are, as a collective group, the dumbest group of car enthusiasts out there. They are even worse than the 5.0 group! Instead of threads about which short-throw shifter or shorty-headers to put on their turds, we have 2,000 threads about which cam to buy, or which Y-Pipe to buy, or which ported throttle body they need. The ratio of dyno-queens to racers is pretty damn high. What was the car count in Georgia, 19?! There are more new threads in the Dyno section in 1 day than that!
Sorry, that last part was a rant.

Ya, I do notice my car does faster with a pinch of tire spin..
The problem is, the tracks _I_ race at are too inconsistant for a setup like mine and a 28x10.5" tire. Again, they are not prepped for huge events.. so I need to setup my car for that type of track.

You dont want a car to dead hook because it takes longer to "get up on the tire." Any chassis guy will tell you this. You want a little bit of spin to get the car up on the tire a little faster to yield a quicker et and mph. Im sure you keep a log of your timeslips. Make a spreadsheet and see for yourself. Id be pretty confident that your best 60 ft doesnt go with your fastest et or mph
Madman or Wolfe can chime in here to explain alittle better im sure. Or correct me.Mike

madman is totally correct, tire spin is good, obviously to a certain extent. and if you have a weak link you'll find it if you dead hook!!! ha ha ha!
i had well over 300 passes on my w's, oh well, i can't afford to toss tires after 20 passes! i still cut 1.30 60's on them!
it is amazing listening to some of the ******* bench racers who think they know sooooo frickin' much!

How soon before you run the new motor Joe?

Just using the basic of equations your talking about a 75-85 rwhp difference.
Is that what they're expecting from a more aggressive tune?
One other thing, I love to see you guys talk about good air and track need when referring to HRP, which is where this car was ran the first time correct?
What's a bad day there, a DA of 1500 ft above?

If they do it great for them.
I too will be in the same class with Joe, and the SAM car.
I was really looking forward to running Joe because of the kind of person he appears to be, a class act competitor.
With the SAM car back in the mix, it should only motivate anyone else going for the same mission.

How do you know anything about our tuneup at all? You didn't tune anything on our car? Who is this? The only guy that knows everything about our tuneup is not over there at G-force? Are you implying that you tuned our car? This all sounds very strange unless you want to clear it all up for me? Seriously unless someone else has stolen your computer?

You need to take down that post with Mike's name on it then as it makes it look as though HE was claiming he tuned the car! I have already gotten Email asking me when G-Force started tuning the SAM car?
