Congrats man that is excellent <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
The lack of traction helped you a bit I am sure with the mph but that is freaking cooking in that DA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Good job!
Chris

what is raceweight now? Are you still 4.10 gears?

i dont see it as being unreasonable. i just found a timeslip from last year where i ran 99.3 in the 1/8, and 127 at the 1/4

Almost forgot another change was PS bypass. Other three runs were 10.88@125.5, 10.92@126.? (spun), and 13.10@74 (car didn't shift in to 3rd). The 13.10 run had my best 60' of the day @ 1.53.

127 MPH is just plain sick!!!
Its a race car now but its still 1 of the baddest LS1 H/C setups on LS1TECH.
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks. You can call it a race car if you want but I put a lot more miles on that car than you and a lot of other folks put on your "street cars". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

127mph is awesome! I have a question for you Terry. Don't take this as a crack, as it is not intended to be... How is your car only running ~98mph in the 1/8th, but blasting up to 127mph on the 2nd half of the track?
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">On the run where I didn't lock the converter I ran 98 in the 1/8th and 125 in the 1/4. So a lot of it has to do with the converter lockup, and a lot has to do with my poor 1/8th mile gearing (I shift in to 3rd gear 50' before the 1/8th mark). Also don't forget my Burger ram air and the stealth lid, both of which would benefit 1/4 mph more than 1/8th.

Ok the mph is really cool but since when does any shop including MMS get props for weight reduction?
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Pepper gives MTI credit for his ET's, and he's 150# lighter than I am. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I think MMS did a great job with the combo and they deserve props. RE: My weight, I think I'm at ~3220# now. Carlsbad doesn't have a scale. The car is still easy to drive on the street (with the catback on).

Needless to say everyone there was extremely impressed. And yes for the doubters out there Mark from Andy's and I inspected the car and there was no NOS. Although I did here him spraying his Sonoma while dragging his car up the hill
</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Heh thanks! Next time you guys need to bring some cars out for me to beat on. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> That reminds me for all you sheep out there who said my Sonoma wouldn't tow the Z28, you were wrong, and are morons. I was able to keep 65-70mph the whole trip (~280 miles) even up hills. Glad I never follow the masses. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Yeah, I really wanted to run Terry, trust me. But my rear is still making noises even with the stock gears and I didn't want to leave anything to chance. 12 bolt and LS1 edit are on order and hopefully I'll hit some mid-low 11's at 120+, Mark's LT1 T/A will ready soon too, we'll let you when we go out. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Terry,I mean no disrespect to u.U and I know your car is a race car now.

As for me,I put a 4.30 in my car along with my 28in STREET TIRE last weekend along with the NEW VIG.The car is sooo much fun to drive now.

If I lose a tenth I dont give a rats ***.The car is fun again and with the PS hooked its a hoot on the hwy too.

Looks like u went race and I went to more of a street/strip setup,Kinda ironic?I drive my car probably as much as u drive your camaro.

But I have to say good luck with your car,Its impressive for sure....

Very nice results Terry! About the lockup, when I was running the 700R4 in my car (very briefly) with the T-76, I would typically gain 2-3 mph trap speed just locking it up in 3rd gear, so I can believe his gains for sure.

It's hard to believe you are running the same MPH and better ETs that I was with FI or N2O! Really killer Terry.

GeorgeC

OK, I can see the locked up converter being worth some good MPH gains... I used to lock mine in high gear when I still had the 4L60E in the car. I can't remember how much it helped, but it did make a difference...

Anyway, nice job!

CHRISPY

Terry do you think the new super lid helped a lot on the big end with your ram air? did you run a filter for all runs?
Cheers,
Chris

I like Mike Morgan's reply LOL!

You only ran fast because you were lined up against Juevos and were just drafting him on one of his 8-second passes.

Amazing MPH,
2 mph from locking up the verter. Are you still on a ST3800 or did you go to a YTP?

Terry Burger

Yank TP4400. It was more like 1.5 mph.

Nice times Terry and sweet MPH. What is the timing tricker you did and do you feel it helped you in your new best <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
