Very nice Terry, it's about time! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I especially like the fact that you drove the car there! I bet the 12 second cars at the track that came in on trailers felt a little bit embaressed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Congrats on the new best Terry! I think its cool that you have dropped almost a full second in ET with the same engine setup. High 11s to high 10s.

You are probably the only heads/cam in the 10s without a rollcage too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Terry, good run, but do you have a second time slip to back it up?? How do we know it wasn't just luck, or a faulty light?? <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" /> Good run man.. Did you have to pull any more weight out?

Nice numbers from project F-Houston Terry. 10s feel great! You've gone very far very fast. Looks like you have an F-body you might keep for a while, LOL!

Terry, while you were out racing (great slip, BTW) I was defending you and MMS for reasons unbeknownst to you (and me). See the Internal sec.

Anyway, congrats on the 10 sec slip. Wasn't that a blast to pick that slip up??

Good job, Terry.

"I’m willing to bet I have the only 10 second h/c cam with functional power steering. I drove the car to and from the track, 2 hours each way."

Sorry to say you're wrong about that. I drove 2 1/2 hours home from the track the night I got my 10's. Power steering fully funtional.

Anyway, congrats again. It was never a question for me......

ONYXSS glad I'm not the only one who thinks power steering is important! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I have a bolt in wolfe 5-pt cage. On my last 6.95 run I was at 3340# race weight. For the runs this weekend I added the light weight carpet (30#) and !muffler at the track (15#).

I took two runs today, the first was 10.99@122.5 (1.56 60') and then 3 min later ran the 10.98@122.2. The track definitely hooked better today than yesterday. On the way home I was stuck in traffic so I had plenty of time to think about my next tweaks to the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

BTW where are all the guys that don't believe a 6.9 1/8th mile = 10 second potential?

Congrats Terry!

It must feel good to be the 2nd West Coast Car in the 10's NA. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I think this fall we'll show HOUSTON what's up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> You probably won't see too many more days at Carlsbad at 66 degrees. You better add ALOT more power to get by my 10.89. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> When I think you're getting close, I'll just head over to Sacramento and raise the bar. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

My next goal is 10's through a stock SS catback (SLP20TL). Just for a point of comparison, how come I MPH 121 at 2500ft DA's through the exaust and you're going 122's at sea level, uncapped, downhill? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> And my best is 125.0 MPH at 1500ft DA? What are you working on to close the gap???

BTW, I think your RACEWEIGHT is BS! Everytime you go to the track you've lightened it up some more, and you're still at 3300lbs. Do you still have the AC or have I made you toss it yet? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Powersteering? Wow you have 15 more lbs than some of us. It's not like you don't run a shortbelt anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Where is my new J1 Cam? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

If you think you can, think again!

I've never been at 3300# before. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> My best MPH is 123, unlocked converter. I've got a good plan to add 20rwhp and take off another 90#s. Maybe we'll meet up in Sacramento for a battle of the west? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

There u go again breaking my *****
Thats okay I can take it.

I'm suprized u wanna run with the PS
After doing the Kmember and Aarms its not nearly as bad as when I had the stock stuff controlling the front end.But I agree I'm gonna hook mine back up too.

The PS cooler,bracket, and line are gonna go bye bye.Its 4.8lbs which isnt too bad and u still keep your PS intact.

its gonna be hard to beat Jan Terry.
He's right,I dont think your gonna see that weather for a long time.But u never know.

The Da was about +1100 so u still have something left on the table.Keep plugging away.

3075? I can't say for sure, but I doubt you're closing in on me. As light as it is now, I've got 150lbs coming off later this year, possibly 200+ if I change to light weight brakes. 10.50's with the stock shortblock will be a cinch. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Have you seen the pictures of my !headlight track mod? I made a bracket for the headlight covers that covers the holes and you can't even tell they're gone.

I don't know the size of the short-belt with the meziere, just use your longer one to measure and guestimate, that's what I did.

I'm getting ready to try some 28X10X15 Hoosiers. Are you still using the 26's or 28's?

How are you going to gain 20RWHP?

As long as I don't have a Summit points race that weekend, I'll head out to Sac anytime. I might try and make a trip this month just for fun and see how much quicker I am over my home track. We don't spray VHT and the air always sucks. They even let the imports/street tired cars run through the waterbox.

I'll weigh the car in the next couple days in street form and extrapolate from there. It should be very entertaining.
