My shift light comes on right at the traps, or immediately after, the light is set to 7000RPM I think I might get a 131.5 or so before I run out of gear which is right where Dave and Julio expected this setup to run in an F-Body at its best. So it looks like we chose the gearing and tire just right.

congrats, great NA times and stick to boot. Who says you have to be auto to go fast. I know you were talking about maybe spraying your car. There is a G.P going on now on a Harris speed works stand alone fuel system in the nitrous section. Figured I would mention that cause your gonna need it for spary with how much power your making NA

Thanks for the heads up, but the mention of spray was only in an argument with someone. The car was built to run H/C stock shortblock, I know it has a lot more in it as it sits, so Ill keep hacking away at the times until I reach what we think is the end of the road for this set-up. Who knows what will fallow, but for right now I like the N/A thing and will stick with it till I exhaust all of its potential.

I agree with you, one can go fast with a stock... we just tend to break more parts then an auto along the way LOL. But I sure like having a 6spd on the street over an auto!

Talking It An;t Soooooooooooooo......

Originally Posted by WS6TransAm01
Classes were on a Thursday schedule due to the coming holiday, so I got out early enough to make it to the track. Threw the slicks in the back of the Trans Am and drove down to Atco.

The air was great, but the track came and went with the night.

My first pass caused me to nearly poop myself as the car was from the centerline to the wall and back again a few times down the track. I looked like I must have been drunk!

As cars began to go down, the groove warmed up and better times fallowed.

I clicked off 3 fast runs before cars began to break. Three cars in a row, oil, coolent, and so on spilled everywhere. Track was down for hours and at the end was too cold for even a stock powerd car to get traction.

As the title says the car ran a new best, slightly better on the ET and much better on the MPH, but still a new best.

I could not do my typical 6500+ RPM launch due to lack of traction so I had to slip it out of the hole at 6000 or so. Here's how it went;

60':.........1.437
330'.........4.330
1/8..........6.721
MPH.........102.17
1000'........8.779
1/4..........10.510
MPH.........130.78

My 2 other good passes included a 10.59 @ 130.52 and a 10.57 @ 130.54

I am sure that if the track would have stayed warm and dry I would have knocked out a 10.4x but it was not ment to be tonight. I still have 3 or 4 weekends, Saturday mornings perhaps, before the track closes for the winter so I hope to have a good outing one of those days.

I can't thank everyone at CARTEK enough. They have done an increadible job building this car. To be so tame and easy to drive on the street, and to bolt on a set of slicks, hang the front tires a foot in the air and shift it to a 10.5 at over 130mph on a set of LS6 heads and a cam, bolted to a stock GM short block is beyond my wildest dreams. And to think, the car has more in it.

Thank you to Dave for setting me up with this awesome setup!
Thank you to Julio for his tireless work on the dyno to tuning it so perfect that it drives on the street as well as it hauls *** down the track!
Thank you Mike for porting the most perfect set of LS6 heads I have ever seen!
Thank you Roy for installing it flawlessly and with every attention to detail that it can run fast and reliable.
Thank you Rich for all the little jobs on the suspension, gears, exhaust and more without which non of my power would ever see the track.

THANK YOU CARTEK!

Also thanks to QTP for making some freakin' sweet headers! Thanks Barry!

With the good air here, I hope I can thrown down a 10.4-something before the season's out!

Are you on crack? Come to my house and look under the hood, I dare you to find a power adder. And if you have the tools you can check out the displacement too.

You've got to be kidding me bro. A lot of people on this forum know my car.
