Well everyone it didnt happen despite my efforts. Quick version is the car ran 11.09@124.46mph best. Thats it thats all it had nothing more i can about that i guess. Now for the long drawn out version of the evening. Get your reading glasses and a cup of coffee a while before you start.

1st i'm gonna say I worked my freaking butt off to make sure everything was on point. Car had all fresh fluids, new shifter, cleaned air filter, aired up tires, new tires, raised the car up for better weight transfer. I took out the coolant reservoir and the little cover for the rear cargo area for every little bit of weight i could save due to the bar install. I"ll get the official weight of the car soon. I had the car pulling into the track at a perfectly estimated 1/4tank of gas. I did not add the Torco to it. I pulled in and Fireball came over and helped out with the little details and a pep talk. I even got a 10.9/109 as my car # LOL! The guy looked in the car and remembered me and said good to see ya and smiled while looking at the roll bar. Later in the nite I was stopped at the timing slip tower and rechecked for harness, bar, helmet, firejacket, door bar etc. Then went back to the pits to get rechecked again by one of the officials and then another came over to gander at it. Didnt notice the out of date helmet that will be replaced before i go again anyways. So that was funny in itself. The officials were really good with helping to assure the car was able to get a good burnout, keep my waiting time down to run and wished me good luck several times was nice.
Soo none the less theres something not right with the car that i'll need to find. As you'll see with a quick history lesson the car has always trapped between 125-126.7xmph. The car has even trapped 125.93mph in 75deg weather. My car was consistantly 2-3mph off in the 1/4mi.
Heres the runs:
#1
60ft-1.618 bogged slightly to 4800rpm
330ft-4.779
1/8th-7.360
MPH-97.26
1000ft-9.581
1/4mi-11.428
MPH-122.28----WTF!!!!! I account this to being the car was still hot from the drive down.

330ft-4.776
1/8th-7.338

330ft-4.561
1/8th-7.091
MPH-99.03

330ft-4.642
1/8th-7.173
MPH-98.65
1000ft-9.356
1/4mi-11.163
MPH-124.90

#6
60ft-1.548-Spun slightly more
330ft-4.603
1/8th-7.145
MPH-98.87
1000ft-9.348
1/4mi-11.158

I forgot to mention I took out the ported throttle body and put a stock LS2 90mm back instead of the ported LS2. This shouldn't have played that much of a effect on things due to the car trapped upper 125mph before the ported TB and ported Fast 90

Rick@HSW

still not bad considering you added weight. we can hook ya up with a small 50 shot to get ya over the hump...

Hey Zterd, Nate here(I was the guy talkin to ya bout F-body's down at Cecil last night). Anyways, I think you can get there because you reached better mph before, put that other tune back in and see what happens. Regardless, it was def one of the meanest sounding cars down there, I recorded the one run on my phone.

I'll have to let ya know how my tune goes tmrw down at Race Proven Motorsports

Sucks you didn't get that 10. Looks like getting the tires to spin a touch really helped the 60's

haha...you've had two #6 runs...owned by cut and paste

bruce, what else did you change from last year? tune? cam? anything else? you'll figure it out and be in the 10s very soon

The weather was so good I dont see anything changing till next fall. I didnt want to use the nitrous till after the car ran a 10.9 NA. I dont want to make excuses but the 2mph missing, I feel is why the car couldn't muster the time slip it deserves. Just not pulling as hard up top. I was shifting the crap out of the car. Still not as good as I should yet but better

Maybe 1/8 a tank of gas and a little tail wind and your there. Take out the air filter? Your so close I'd go run it on saturday the conditions will be close to last night with a better prep. It will happen for ya, keep up the good work.

Time to get CARTEK 4X heads/cam lol

aaaaaaahahahahaha

I love busting your ***** Bruce.

Anyway dude, you'll get it, I'm sure of it. Its just a mental barrier You'll see, once you run that first 10second pass, it will be nothing but 10's from then on. Just like when I came home 4 separate times from the track with 11.0's with my old H/C and juice. Then once I ran a 10, I did not run an 11 with that combo again.

I hope a turtle farts on your tire before your next pass!!!! You know you're the only one i let do that to my *****.

I'm honestly pretty discouraged with last nites display. I was really pissed with everything last nite on my way home. Didnt take it out on the car, just drove home really pissed off. My only savior is where the ***** did the MPH GO???

I've gone home discouraged many times before. It just makes sucess that much sweeter. Keep at it and you will be in the 10s easily.

Bruce, You drove the f-ing wheels off of it last night. There was a little head wind coming straight up the track. If I can figure out how to download my video junk I will send you the 11.09 pass it looked really good... Your so close... Good Luck to You..

It's still close.

I bet there's 25 lbs somewhere that you can take out.

If the car likes to spin a touch, try airing the tires up a lb or so more, might help with that and may mph a little better too.

Good luck in your search, you're so close it's not gonna take much.
