Default New Best for my bolt on car =)

I just got home from State Capital Dragway where the weather was 48 degrees with 93% humidity. I just got a new pair of 26X8.5 15 et drags too.

Best pass:
1.563
7.380@91.94
11.631@115.78

2nd Best pass:
1.575
7.388@91.91
11.639@115.63


and the rest:
1.60
7.398@92.01
11.649@115.68

1.568
7.395@91.66
11.659@115.34


My car is a white 2000 Z28 A4 with the following mods: Weld 15X3.5's and 15X8's with radials up front and 26X8.5 15 et drags out back. G-hann full length headers, Futral motorsports 2.5 inch off-road y-pipe, and a borla cat back (wide open). Yank PT4400 convertor and 3.42 gears. Wisper lid, ASP pulley (running shortbelt too), Thunder racing MAF ends, MAFT, Futral motorsports throttle body, 2001 intake manifold, and all the free mods. I also have Futral computer programming for Torque managenment, and to clear the egr code.

The weight pulled from the car is: Spare and Jack, back seat as well as its seat belts, passenger seat, and windshield fluid =)
I do have a 23 pound race seat also
I think raveweight was somewhere near 3330.


I am very happy with the car, especially considering it still has a complete cat back on it, both bumpers, a/c, PS, and a STOCK MOTOR!!!
I never would have imagined this car would run damn near 116 mph!
Oh yeah..I still have a carbon fiber driveshaft to install....and there is always better weather

Thanks Brian. I don't think I'm going with a cam any time soon. I'm too happy with the car like it is. =)

Great new runs...it's too funny how an 11.99 bolt-on car is looking slow. This time next year, there should be LOTS of bolt-on cars running mid 11's.

Enjoy as there is bits of snow on the ground up here. Take care. Dave

Mike,

That is truly awesome, how about adding an Electric Water Pump ? I bet you'd pick up another tenth or so. That's the only other bolt on I can think of you adding.

Regards,
Mitch R.
