anyways, this is my fastest ET. i had a faster MPH of 110.70 but that was with a 13.14 ET. im on otherwise bald BFG GForce Sport T/A street tires. i let the pressure down to 28psi and did a small dry hop to get the shit off of them and heat them up some. it was around 85* and not too humid. (sorry, i dont know exacts). anyways, the track wouldnt hook for shit. even the 9 second cars were having trouble hitting low 10's. im still on my LS1 intake but i have an LS6 sitting in my garage. my goal was to hit 12's still on my LS1 intake, but idk if that will happen. after this pass, my runs got progressivly slower, im sure the car was getting hot and i know the clutch fluid was getting hot and it wasent holding totally. on the drive up i ran it to just a hair less than 1/4 tank, then when i got there, dumped 5 gallons of 110 in her. later i put around 3 gallons of 112 in it cause i was running low. i made a total of 17 runs down the 1/4 at ColumbusRacing.com track day at Norwalk.

EDIT: this is the run where i ran damn near 111MPH im car 34. the car in the right lane was a C5 Z06.

Get that 60' down and your in the 12 easy. The trap speed also has 12's writen all over it

im going to put some DR's on it and try to get it to stick. not launch hard but atleast it wont spin for 330'.

You need traction for sure. There's no sense in swapping intakes or trying to make any more power if you aren't putting what you have to the ground.

I'm surprised no one else said anything, but running race gas isn't going to help you gain anything. The only thing you'll gain is a new set of O2 sensors if you're running leaded race gas cause it wont take long to destroy them.

Practice speed shifting

i can, but im not about to do it on a stock clutched 1998 daily driver Z28. sorry. i will when i get a new clutch and another car to drive. as far as the gas goes, the 110 was unleded sunoco, and the 112 was leaded but it was only a few gallons added to a little over 1/4 tank. it didnt hurt it. still runs fine and i averaged 27 mpg to and from work this week. so the O2's must still be in good shape. (stock 98's also)

I did it on my car making probably 30 passes in one day... it doesn't hurt anything, its just a lot faster.
For clarification, I take my foot off the gas... not keeping it pegged while shifting

i do too. i shifted as fast as i could without keeping the hammer down. as soon as i get my tape filled up im going to have it put on a CD so i can put it on here. damn non digital video camera.

Agreed. In fact, stock compression cars will have a hard time burning octanes that high so it probably cost you some et besides a bunch of unnecessary $$$.

Practice your launch....I went 13.2 @ 107 on bald 18'' BFG KDW's with an M6 lid only....
