Friday @ MIR with some crazy MPH... Went to MIR on friday and finally met some of the F-body guys, Bruce Rowe and a few others. Had a blast at the creek and ended up with a new best nitrous time as well as a new best all motor time.
Nitrous
1.63 60' 10.68 @ 134.28 - 100 shot of nitrous on a stock 346 shortblock and H & C
All motor:
1.59 60' 11.31 @ 124.6 - setup for nitrous, TEA heads S2, Comp Cam, 3.90s
I really feel like the motor has alot more left just need to flycut the pistons for a real cam and stop launching like a sissy. Thanks to everyone who put up with all of my questions in the last few weeks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Friday @ MIR with some crazy MPH... Nice times Phil, good meeting you. That's a sweet Vette you've got. It kills me how well that thing idles with a 230 cam. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> No new best for me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> 11.53 @ 120.82, 1.62 60'. Guess I need to get the rest of the weight out, to offset the roll bar. There was one bright spot of the night for me. On my best run I lined up with a tubbed 65 Nova. Looked and sounded nasty. Cut a .507 light on him and that was the last time I saw him. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> I love these cars. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Friday @ MIR with some crazy MPH... That's really movin' out, Phillip! With a really good 60' time, that's definetely enough trap speed for at least a 9.8x or so... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

It was great meeting up with you guys, maybe when MIR slows down alittle we can go up on a friday night to really work on setups and get the ETs down alittle.

Thanks, that is my goal for this year, single digits and a 346cid shortblock. I am going to work on some weight reduction as well as technique to see if 1.3-4s are possible.
