Finally made it to the track. Well, I made 5 passes. . . one of them I spun forever, the other I spun, and then ran out of gas in ~3rd gear.
The other three I went:
12.636@114.02 (1/8th = 8.312@89.88) 2.107 60ft
12.572@114.14 (1/8th = 8.251@89.87) 2.055 60ft
12.595@114.30 (1/8th = 8.278@89.94) 2.086 60ft
Are those consistent enough?
I'm pretty happy considering these stock gears suck for a cam. . . crossing the traps @ ~5200rpms. . .
And considering I'm on Ohtsu 245/50/16 tires. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Only weight removed was spare & jack.
I feel some gears would = ~116. . .LS6 intake, another mph?
And our DA yesterday was ~1600ft. . .so there's another MPH to be had in decent weather, at least.
Anyways, I'm really happy w/ the 114mph from the hotcam.

Re: Finally made it to the track. Not bad at all, especially considering the tires you're running. Try some Nittos or BFG Drag Radials and watch those et's come waay down. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Finally made it to the track. Thanks guys.
Some DR's, 4.10's, and maybe remove that back seat, and low 12's @ 116-118 should be cake.
Anybody know any good excuses to tell the wife for another set of wheels & tires!?

Excuses... geez
You buy the tires, put them on the car. I don't see what the problem is? She's getting all sorts of cool stuff for the house... you need cool stuff for the car. Get the tires, and you won't be doing any more of this <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
