with my ati charger I ran a best of 11.91 with a 1.63 60'

tonight my best without the charger was 12.81 with a 1.7X 60'! (like 1.78 i think)

shouldn't my car be faster???

slp longtubes

removed tons of weight!
vig 3200
slp lid
12 bolt 3.73's
hypertech for shift points limiter (shifting at like 6300
rest in sig.

I hope that my mti stage 2 heads/cam get me into LOW 11's.

I am thinking maybe since this time sucks that my rings are shot from the charger?

Yeah, you should be at mid 12 at least. Heck, I'm running those times at 2700' alt, stock suspension/geare, and no HPP3. How was the weather?

highgmc

weather was high 80's-low 90's and kinda humid

sweetTA

What kinda MPH?

Edit: Just noticed you were only goin 112mph with the blower...

Damn, thats not much MPH for a blower car, considering there are all kinds of bolton cars trapping well over that

60' 1.778
330 5.222
1/8 8.126
mph 83.98
1000 10.664
1/4 12.814
mph 104.74

I am hoping someone makes a set of pistons and rings that don't really bump up compression to add to my mti stage 2 heads and c2 cam so I have a fresh bottom end.......

just fyi. last time i went to an 1/8 mile track, i went 8.2x at 83.9mph on street tires...real street tires. i have a lid, a vig3200, 3.23's, stock everything else down to the plugs, and full weight (98 Trans Am).

I'm currently pricing out a short-block for another board member with stock crank, stock rods, and JE forged pistons. Would you like for me to forward it to ya? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Just let me know if we're supplying the block, crank, and rods or if you are.

trevor,

YES, please email me the pricing ls1ta@charter.net I will be using my crank and block, probably not my rods.

I pulled out my motor, found a MSD plug wire melted nearly in half against a header, couldn't this be causing my bad et's?

CHRISPY

Yes it definitely can cause it.

Cheers,
Chris
