Default New best!

I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but I was the guy who came in, pissed at running a 12.53 @ 109 with a cammed/stalled/bolton LS1. I'm not bashing Fuddle in any way here, but the converter recently grenaded on me and forced me to spend another 1800 bucks for a rebuild, and this time, I went with the ever popular Yank SS3600. Needless to say, I am glad I made the switch. With decent weather, tonight, the car went as follows.

60 FT: 1.8123
330: 5.1119
1/8: 7.8258
1/8 MPH: 89.13
1000: 10.1781
1/4: 12.1784
MPH: 113.18

I actually spun a bit on the launch, and still cut a decent 60, and man, the Yank certainly helped solve my low MPH problem. All in all, a satisfied customer, and a happy drag racer!

Bout time that lil dog got some bite to go along with its bark! Glad to see that all that frustration with the tranny may finally be solved. Well, looks like I really have to get my *** in gear and swap some parts to be any kind of match for you. Maybe soon?
Congrats on the new best time.

Get some sticky tires and get into the 1.5-1.6 60' range and you have yourself an 11 sec car no problem.

Archoverseer,

Looks like you have an 11 second car!

01_ram-air is correct in saying that you need to get the sixty foot down. The reason why I say you have an 11 second car is the fact that you stated in your post that you spun. I checked you times against mine runs from last week and found this. The only difference here that I see is my track has an elevation of 1085 feet and your in Texas at a lower elevation. My car has a stock cam and a LS1 intake with 91K miles on it compared to your aftermarket cam and LS6 intake.

Your time My Time
60 foot 1.812 1.616
330 foot 5.111 4.880
594 foot 7.141
1/8 mile 7.826 7.645
MPH 89.13 89.25

Now as you can see if you would not have spun you would have covered the first 1/8 mile faster and got you 11-second time slip. If your faster in the first 1/8 mile your faster all the way through. Your 1/8 MPH is a little higher than normal due to spinning the tires. Of course you did not say that you wanted an 11-second time slip you said you were happy with the results of the converter swap. It appears you have a better setup now than you did.

You should be able to change your 12 second club to 11 second club very soon with a little more track time. Good Luck and have a great time!!!!

What up? Its Reg, light blue Z28. Your car runs good and sounds good. I believe you only need a set of MT street radials to run in the 11's. As a matter of fact I should have let you make a fews passes on mine. Do you want to get rid of that Borla muffler?
