Got a launch pic! I had Kinko's scan the picture that was taken on Saturday. This is the 11.63 @ 114 MPH pass with the 1.58 60'. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Got a launch pic! Trevor,
Nice Pic. Congrads on the new times. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Thanks for the new goals of 11.63et @ 114mph with a 1.58 60ft. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
I will see if I can top those this weekend if they get the Hot Rod finished. They got the motor back in and fired it up on Friday. It sounded badass over the phone. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: Got a launch pic! Awesome launch and pic Trevor.That is a computer wallpaper if I've ever seen one. I think I'll use it myself! I'm glad things are going your way. It's funny about NOS accusations. I was getting a lot of that last night @ HRP and I'm not pulling near your ETs...yet.lol. After a couple of 1.62 60 fts they start to swarm the car. That's a good feeling. Congrats! Can't wait to see ya down HRP way. Take care.

Re: Got a launch pic! Awesome picture!! In the last two years I've been yanking the front wheels off the line and I still don't have a damn launch picture <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Maybe I should offer a reward for the first person to photo my car with the wheels up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Wish you had been with me Saturday when all the diehard carb'd trailer car owners were looking under my hood and scratching their heads.

Re: Got a launch pic! Coach - After hearing bits and pieces of what you've been building, I think you'll easily take out my ET. I do get curious as to what the car would do with a set of heads, though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I just don't want the headache of breaking trannies and rearends...been there done that.
James - I know exactly what you mean! I've been accused of N2O quite a bit, both on the street and at the track. It's a big compliment. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Tony - Just let me know how much you're paying, and I'll make an effort the next time we meet up at the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I got some great launch pics of some cars at Bowling Green with my dig. camera. You should take the car to HRP for the Super Chevy Show in September so you can have a pic taken. It would be AWESOME with the 60' times you're pulling!
Warren - Are you ready to have your sunset orange SS launch like this yet? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Got a launch pic! Trevor,
Your pic of the Hot Rod gets better everytime I look at it. Hey, maybe we can get a side by side shot of us launching off the line at super chevy at HRP in September. Man, that would be way cool, 2002's, last year made! "Dude! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Now tell me about the rearends (mine, moser 12 bolt, 33 spline axles, 4.56 gear and a Strange spool) Yours? Trans (mine T56 stock) Yours? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

John - You're exactly right. I fully expect to achieve some 11.4x ET's this fall with the same raceweight, just better weather. Just imagine how quick it'd go with a set of heads. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> My first time out with the 383 in the T/A, I ran an 11.69 @ 116 MPH with a 1.65 60'. Granted, this was with a raceweight in excess of 3,700#, but it still shows how much the LS1 has progressed in two years. 11.38? That's a walk in the park with the SS and heads/cam. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Thanks for the compliments guys. One of my main goals by going to Super Chevy was to get the pic pulling the wheel(s). It was well worth the money spent.

Re: Got a launch pic! That is a great launch. What settings did you have on the front and rear if you don't mind sharing the information. How much lowered do you think you can go with 4400 convertor <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> ? My best on the 3200 vig is 1.602--I was proud of that one. Keep up the good work and bring them times down. Thanks for posting your information--if helps me and other people. Good luck bracket racing. Kent.

Re: Got a launch pic! Sweettt,
Nice pics Trevor. Wish I could have seen that one. Last time I went to Denton, first time with the skinnies, the guys at the line were telling me I was bringing the front end off the ground but I couldn't really feel it. I had Brandan check the next pass, he said I was comin 4" inches off the ground. Well that's 1 goal out of the way, I hit 1.6 60ft that's another one down. I guess my next one will be 7.5 N/A and finally get down to Ennis. Congrats on the time, lookin good.

Re: Got a launch pic! Steve - You're going to have fun with the new cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I know that I am! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Kent - I have the stock rear springs and shocks still in place. The Hal struts were set on their loosest setting; they're also being used with the stock springs in place. It's not NEAR as bouncy as my T/A was with the drag springs, and the weight transfer is still awesome. I tried a few different settings with the struts, and the loosest setting has worked best for me.
Mark - It's fun to hit goals that you've set for your car. It just makes you set new ones; that's how I got myself into trouble with my '98 T/A! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I'm just proud that I am doing it with a very streetable setup this time around.
