Default Deeper in the 8's with CE

Went to the local track today and was told to make sure I come back next year with a chute.

First pass I left on low boost, not sure how the track was.
60'- 1.48
1/8- 5.83
mph- 125.69
1/4- 8.94
mph- 158.48

After seeing the 60' and the mph I knew it had a .70 in it. Sure enough.

Second pass
60'- 1.33
1/8- 5.68
mph- 127.82
1/4- 8.78
mph- 159.06

Third and forth pass I was being greedy and wanted 160mph. But the track wasn't holding anymore. So I guess I have a goal for next season.

Still have to get a race weight but should be 3,7??. Boost was at 26.5 psi with max timing at 21*. 110 fuel with Meth inj.

Yeah i'd say so, how much "street driving" does that actually get? Must be nice to drive an 8 second car around.

What do you need a chute for? That car's not fast enough to go to the second turn off yet.

Nice job Mike! It's just flat amazing what you're doing with that car. A full second+ better than last year. Let's see if you can do that again this coming year!

Oh yea...Understand something...you're not allowed in Cinti (Edgewater still open thru November) unless you call and tell me you're coming!

Man, your car is a bad MF'er
One day, I will know how a turbocharged LS1 F body feels to go down the 1/4.

That car is just flying. I was impressed when you were running 9.4s in Bowling Green at that weight in 95* heat and now its picked up .7 and 11mph in good weather,thats awsome.

I am thoroughly impressed with those times. Looking to delve into those numbers with mine in the next few years. Have any tips and tricks that might help? Before i forget to ask, are you running a twin or single turbo set up?

It's about time you put some timing in it

Will you put some real fuel in it already and get a 60 out of it??

Not bad for a street car
