NEW BEST w/ room to improve
NEW BEST w/ room to improve >>UPDATE on car :went out to US41 and was happier then ever,besides now losing ignition on the car on the pass that i have been waiting for over a year for i am still smiling ear to ear.I have to do some investigating next week to try and still make it to N v's S.
well here it is>>>>>>>>>>>
I am not sure on the exact weather conditions but temp was about 65 degree's.
changes since last time:
Bogart RT welded
15x3 w/26x4.5 Hoosier fronts
15x10 w/26x10 Hoosier drags
and Corbeau TRS seats in leather which added about 40+ lbs.
The car weighs in at about 3500lbs. I have done a few weight reduction(ac/heat,air bags,rear seat,low mount altenator,k-member/a-arms,manual rack,manual brakes,steering wheel,front sway bar,hood) but added the 10pt cage,heavier seats and a bunch of pretty things under the hood.
quick info on car:
96 Z28
RGR 383 solid roller 252/622 111lsa,RGR S2 LT1 heads
Hooker LT's w/ 4" Mufflex
TH400 w/Vig 4200
Moser 9" w3.90 and spool
n/a 415rwhp 424rwtq
TNT 572rwhp 628rwtq(200 shot&a bit lean),car likes to be fat
best N/A
11.08 off foot brake
122 mph
1.51 60ft
best N20
>The first pass i really babied out of the gates 10.1 @ 135.9 1.53 60ft.
>best ET 10.0 (1.44 60ft)and back fired,lost ignition and died at the 1000ft mark and coasted to a 121 mph,this would have been my 9.8 pass that i wanted and on my first time out
The spray runs were off the foot brake and rolling quickly into the throttle.I have to get a Race rear sway bar on the car,it's a hand full but fun
I run the car as i drive it on the street other then changing tires.This is a street car and driven alot on the dry days.
I will have the video's up soon

Re: NEW BEST w/ room to improve The Drag bar will solve ALOT of the launching
problems.
I thought for sure It was going 9.8's.
After I saw the launch I'm yelling "That's a 9.8 pass!" Like a teenage girl.
DA- was +1669ish.
Not bad for an LT1.

Re: NEW BEST w/ room to improve you're movin...that is great for first time out, you are just now breaking that thing in, it will get much better. 3500 lbs is too heavy...lose some more weight on the car...cause i know you dont need to loose any weight yourself :p what do you need those heavy seats for...might as well left the stock ones in
I see a 10.8 motor pass in your near future, and some 9 sec TNT runs Just takes getting use to...pratice, practice.
Good Luck at BG if you go...let me know how it goes.
Take care!

Re: NEW BEST w/ room to improve Larry, that's awesome! I'm sure you'll find those 9.8's when you get the ignition bug worked out. I hate electrical problems!!!!! 
It's been kind of slow in here this weekend, with the holiday and all. I think that's why you haven't seen too many replies. Or maybe you've just got everyone scared of that LT1 of yours!

Re: NEW BEST w/ room to improve It was nice to see you go 11.doh NA and 10.doh N20 the first time out on slicks...
When I had !rear swaybar my car was violent off the line unless I had 25psi in the airbag.

I like Mustangs but that one has clear tailights and lots of stickers. 
That car is a bit insane when it launches!
