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?

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.

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?

Also don't forget my Burger ram air and the stealth lid, both of which would benefit 1/4 mph more than 1/8th.

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.

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!

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" />
