Default New best today!

1994 Z28
Last year with bald SZ50EP Firehawk tires, Hooker cat back and no cat, 2.73 gears, the rest is stock. Ran 14.34@96 mph.

This spring, I threw a set of Hooker LTs and a Moroso CAI and some light tuning was done to it.

Hooker LTs
No cat
Hooker catback
Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 711s at 26 psi
Moroso CAI
Same 2.73s

First run I clicked off a 14.4 @ 101 with a 2.4 60' (some water before the actual burnout box ) Plus cold track didn't help.

After lots of playing around with psi, launch, and burnouts I managed to Click off this:

60' - 2.042
1/8 - 8.804 @ 81.41mph
1000' - 11.392
1/4 - 13.582 @ 102.47

I about shat myself when I clicked that off. I was only expecting a 13.8x

I also had a freak MPH trap of 104.48

The rest of the day it was consistant 13.7xx @ 101-102.

I am so damn happy right now.

Thanks. Mod bug bit long time ago. The "run the living **** out of my car" bug bit me today. At one point I ran it twice within 5 minutes! I let it rest after that though. I can't wait to get some 3.42s and some drag radials. I'll see some low 13s with that(hoping).

Good deal! A friend of mine ran a new best with his lt1 car today. He ran a 12.70 @ 104 with headers and yank converter. No CAI or gears or anything just some old worn out bfg dr's of mine.
