Default LG Motorsports Knockin on the door to 10s....H+C ONLY!!!

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">We had one of our customers put down a new best with a G5 cam and head package.
11.06 @ 122mph the car dynoed 405rwhp with the converter unlocked.
The car is a 99 TA and was on ET streets.

And to top it off it was a GIRL DRIVER.

It won't take much to get the car in the 10's. Probably just a good day, and she'll be there.

ALSO:

Hang in there, we will have our G5 SR cam in the Corvette for the fastest Corvette Shootout in Texas, at River city on the 29th. We will post new dyno numbers this week end.

We will also have two new 418ci and a 427ci G7-SR on hand . Both put out over 500rwhp and they will have outnew LG Motorsports Super Clutch installed.

I just got off of the phone with the car owner. She's a very cool woman!

'99 Ann. Ed. T/A A4
*Yank Pro Thruster 4400 torque converter
*3.73's
*Mac mid-length headers with P&H header extensions (She just installed FLP's)
*built 4L60E trans.
*26x10x15" ET Drags
*Hal shocks with Eibach springs

Her best pass of 11.06 @ 122 MPH was run at the Texas Motorplex. She had a 60' time of 1.50 on that pass. She has had plenty of 1.4x 60' times, but her best pass was with the 1.50. She should have some solid 10's this fall N/A. FYI, her raceweight was 3,400#.

Figure a 99TA A4 is 3450 w/o driver
+ 6 pt moly/65lbs = 3515
+ driver (140) =
3655 raceweight - some stuff like drag rims, perhaps she ran with no catback too=
3400 raceweight?

Most girsl = lighter weight, so they definitely have some advantage!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Girls can drive, no doubt about that ! My fiance had an Eagle Talon when we met, and she wanted a brand new WS6 (this was in 1997) but she couldn't afford it. Since she really like Mustangs I found a 1995 Cobra for her with 15k on it. She leased it but couldn't drive it like is was meant to be driven. I quickly showed her the ropes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> She now is driving our 00 WS6 with no mods other then a cut-out and hood baffles removed to a 13.3@108mph on a crappy track with not-so-good F1s. She drives as good as any person I have ever seen. She only gets nervous when going over 145mph <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I love cruising around in the WS6 or my SS with her driving as she walks all over another car. Then she rolls down the tinted windows and they see a chick! the look on their faces is priceless.

Forgot to mention... Damn those stall converters. Those cars with the driver delete options really can spit out some ET thats for sure! By the way most good stage 2 head/cam packages and a good converter should net low low 11s to high 10s, i mean crap, Raugh has been in 10s for some time now, with MTIs old stuff.

Yeah, I did want to mention that it did have some weight removed. It's not a full-weight car with respect to 100% bone-stock, but it's full-weight if you compare it to some of the hardcore setups. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> She did have the backseat out, as well as the spare tire and jack. She also had skinnies. It's just all of the standard track stuff. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> She now has the FLP's on, and a Moser 12-bolt with 4.10's is on the way.

NEVER discredit women on drag racing. This customer has been racing for a LONG time, and she's driven top fuel cars in the past. She's not your average drag racer! She's an awesome woman to talk to about drag racing, particularly about her drag racing career. She's gonna chop the tree down on quite a few guys at the Southern Shootout, so don't be fooled!
