Default Finally got in the tens :)

Went to bowling green last night, pretty decent weather but not awesome.

I ended up putting a MAFT on the car to adjust my a/f at the track, I have my MAF calibrated so it reads through full boost so each click of the WOT MAFT is ~.5 a/f. Very nice for at the track instead of farting around with ls1edit in the staging lanes. I was seeing 11.8-12.0:1 a/f going through the traps, just a needle width under 8psi, 23 degrees of timing, 93 octane BP, I think its about maxed out right now as far as tuning goes on pump gas.

I should have stayed a little longer and waited for the temp to drop more but 250 miles is a long way to drive home with the time change and all I got home at 3am - long day

Not bad for 440rwhp (unlocked) and 3550lbs. Maybe a cam and a little more boost next..

I just wanted something simple and reliable that would run fairly consistant so I can run foot brake at some on the local tracks. Ran 11.06, 11.000, 11.02 and 10.96 yesterday evening. MPH spread was from 123.86 to 124.04 so who says you cant be consistant with a S/C

Car has 115 passes on it with the blower and 2000 miles of street driving in two months and still runs perfect, trans still works great (no OD though ), rear end will never break, plus it looks good and runs decent so how much more can you ask..

KP used to run some serious cars in his day. 7 sec rides near 200mph.
I wonder how long before his car is another full second faster?

I'm having too much fun to make it faster Steve The car can pretty much take any amount of power I want to put in it now so if I get bored I'll up the power..

I just wanted to get the car in the 10s with the stock motor since I never did it with the red car. What I didnt figure on was the quality of tracks and elevation here so it took a little more work to do it.

Finally out of those pesky 11's.

Freaking awesome Kevin! Glad to hear about your luck. That is a beast of a car.. I knew when you ran at a track who actually decides to use prep that you would be able to reach your goal! Thats a consistent car too.. *whistle*

Like Kurt said, 10.5x27x15 ET streets, main thing is getting the weight down - I had to take a lot of stuff out to get to 3530. If I had a 10 bolt/4l60 it would have been a little easier to get in the 10s, you should have no problem at all..

Thanks Josh, I still had a good time down there, it was more the heat then the track prep that was killing me - it was pretty warm
