Great runs!! Not much "race car" looking with the 315. I tried to post up a pic, to show you what yours would look like with them, but I guess I'm not that advanced. lol

Yep. I drive to the track and usually drive her home if all goes well. I roll around on 93 oct with the boost set at about 12 psi (9.7x trim). I have a hose with a male -8AN fitting on it. I just disconnect the fuel feed line at the rails and screw it to my drain hose and use the fuel pump to pump the pump gas out of the tank. Add 116 race gas and turn up the boost. Ready to race. No tire change and no pressure change. I run about 19-20 psi in the rear tires all the time.

I also drive the car to work and for everything else as long as there is no rain on the forecast. The combo of the MT DR and no A/C makes for VERY unpleasant driving in the rain.

Looks AWESOME. Rear end also looks narrowed a few inches. Is it mini tubbed or hammertime?

Th350 w/ RMVB and tbrake. Alto red clutches and HD intermediate drum/sprag assembly. Everything else in the transmission is stock. It's a freak of nature. Transmission was built 6/07.

I just made an appointment to get the gears changed out to the 3.54's next Wednesday. I think I'm more excited to have a more streetable gear (no overdrive) than I am about running an 8.

Absolutely one of the best running camaros. I hope my car runs simply mid 10's (i know it will) when its finished. Still having minor hick-up's though, but I know in the end, its gonna be like yours (everyday driver, but with a/c and nitto drags ) Best of luck with yours.

Impresv and 90TA got good video. 01Sportchic got some AWESOME stills. Felt like a movie star out there . Killer crew with all the usual suspects.

I'm out of gear. Kissed the revlimiter on both passes right at the traps. Not even gonna try again for the 8 sec slip until I get the 3.54's put in.

I believe that it takes about 1000 rwhp to get to 150 MPH in the 1/4 @ 3800 lbs. On a dyno it would probable read in the low 900's thru the converter.

I was peddling 70% throttle position until I hit the limiter in 1st.

Did you give up on the 1/4? How's the vette coming along? Last I heard you got the 1 mile itch. That's some major ABUSE.

My car reads around 900RWHP on the dyno and my MPH is about 152 at 19PSI. My car weighs about 3970 with me in the car. What's funny is I've heard folks seeing a 100RWHP drop from a stock auto trans in the fbody to a TH400.

I run a TH400 in my car. But at the end of the day what's measured is still right around 900RWHP to reach 152mph trap speeds in the 1/4 mile.

The number on the score board is the only one that counts IMO.

The last obstacle will be removed this coming wednesday night. Barring any mechanical failures, it should be a twist of the **** away. Should be easy.
