Slow It Down
Other than adding weights, is there any other way to slow down a few tenths once the cool weather hits. (programming??)
I will be 11.7-11.8 if I run full out, and am not allowed to run under 12.0.
Thanks for any suggestions, and please don't tell me to put in a roll bar & run it full out.

what's your setup? what kind of track do you run at? maybe you should look into NHRA's new street rule, 11.50 and faster is the new rule for safety equimpment. You will get tired of slowing down all the time. Why mod the car just to go slow?

My car is pure bolt on mods.
To my knowledge, Englishtown is NOT adopting the Pure Stock rule in elimination races.
I participate in the Corvette Challenge, Gamblers, and other events they hold.
Just wondering if there was an alternative to weights.

Change your timing, as stated previously. If you have a Diablo Tuner, you can easily change your timing. I can ask my friend with his Z06, he has a race tune and street tune. I'll ask the power differences.

Thanks for the tips..
Short shifting it sounds OK, but I was wondering if I got the Diablo Predator, would it save my current LS-1 Edit tuned program?
If it did, then I could just load up a stock program, less torque management & abuse mode, and that timing & other stock stuff might be the .2 to .3
I need in cooler weather..

The easiest thing would be to fab up a mechanical throttle stop... I used to do the same thing with my '98 Z28 for bracket racing in a class that I could dial no quicker than 12.00...
Just drill and tap a hole in the throttle body (on the pad right behind the throttle arm), and thread in a bolt (3/16" is what I used, IIRC) and a jam nut to keep it in place. You can adjust the amount of "stop" to dial the car in right where you want it.
