New Best! Got the BOOT!
New Best! Got the BOOT! Well it's been a struggle, but the hard work is paying off. I love the automatic. I went from 1.95 - 2.05 60ft's with the 6 speed (clutch issues) to 1.60's! Sure felt good. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> With only 2 passes, I didn't get enough time to mess with anything. But here's how the runs went.
RUN 1
60 1.668 New Best!
330 4.839 New Best!
1/8 7.504 New Best!
MPH 92.05
1/4 11.763 New Best!
MPH 115.39
I go to pick up my time slip and the guy points over and says puller on over here, and gives me a puzzled look. I pretty well knew what it was all about and I had a smile from ear to ear. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
RUN 2
60 1.606 New Best! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
330 4.788 New Best!
1/8 7.460 New Best!
MPH 91.83
1/4 11.730 New Best! <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />
MPH 115.10
I told the track official that I would only make 1/8 mile passes, but it came out of the hole so good I couldn't let up. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> Plus I didn't want to wait another 1.5hrs to run again.
I had a great time. The runs were made at Southwestern International Raceway near Tucson, AZ. Elevation is 3075ft. with a DA of 3351ft during the time of the runs. Just for the heck of it I corrected them using the NHRA calculator and estimated it as an 11.24@120.13 pass at sea level. My O2's were ranging from .930-.970, so there is plenty left in it. Not too bad for a couple shake down runs.
I don't know if I can run back out there tommorow, but a sea level track is in the plans next weekend. Where's MR.Terry Burger? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: New Best! Got the BOOT! Congrats on the new times. You gotta love the A4's. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Those are some really nice times for the DA you had. I'm really interested in seeing how much your ET is reduced at a sea-level track.

When I ran my bests of 12.25 and 119.69 near Sea-level (Carlsbad), I ran at LACR (2700ft.) three days before and only ran 12.7X@114 or so. And last night we were running into a 8-9MPH head wind with gusts in excess of 25MPH. So I'm VERY curious to see what it'll do as well. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Yep 11's were long over due. What was your best time on the stock short block? I need something to aim for. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I don't think 10's are out of the question with a more aggressive cam and my new Stage II heads....and HRP like weather. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

11.61 @ 119.24 (1.72 60') 3605 lbs with LS1 intake. Never ran it with an LS6 intake (not available back then). Weather was in the 65F range, DA probably around 500 ft

I was in the bay area but I'm back now. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> I'm hoping to head out to the track next Saturday with my new 4400rpm stall. Any plans to make your car 11 second legal? I'd hate to beat you on a technicality. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: New Best! Got the BOOT! Pete!!! 11.50's WOW. That's a huge improvement.
I think that puts you in the elite h/c 6spd cars.
You ready for that 229 cam <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
Scott,
man, I really want to go to Carlsbad to see you whip Terry's a$$ <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> but I have other plans.

lol, I'll put $250 on it. Just tell me when and where. Either NA-NA or juice-juice is ok for me. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
