Default High altitude 1/4mi run(video)

Before you start knocking my times, a disclaimer our track elevation is 5560ft above sea level <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/ebazan/jers11pass.mov

I finally hit 11s here in Albuquerque NM. The car pulls great and I can't seem to find the centrifugal s/c lag that everyone always talks about. The car accelerates like a mother. This was my first and last pass, got the boot for no roll bar or DS loop. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />
timeslip reads
Reaction .124
60ft 1.703
660ft 7.63
ET 11.810
MPH 125.277

Temp 63degs
tire press. 18psi
Now time to get the 60ft down so I can hit low 11's here.
I love this D1, it pulls like nothing I have ever felt.

Congrats!

Blackbird, I wish I could get down to houston sometime this year just to see "what if" but by then my new 346 9.1-1 forged motor will be in and I will be running 15psi,10's here I come at this altitude <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Lingenfelter SS, I don't know about an oxygen mask, but I do have a dry N20 TNT "mask" that I bought off another member that was having $$ issues that I was planning on reselling but........ <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
whine+pssh pssh= <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> HMMMMM parish8 what do you think I should do <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Jeremy

Great times dude! Beat the Sunbeam too he has run 10's in Roswell,looks like he was a bit off on these runs. Was the track hooking up a bit better this weekend? Gotta love FI for this crappy altitude <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Racing at this altitude is no fun but it was a fun challange getting into the 12's and 11's up here. The D1 is amazing with how hard the power keeps coming until I lift in the shut down area.
Flynbluedream: Jerry(sunbeam dude) didn't spray me that time. We ran on the street and I handed him his butt so he wanted to see how bad he would lose to me without the N20. Got him by 1 sec <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The track was hooking better, I went 12.1 last weekend on a 1.90 60ft but hand to get out of it about 30ft out of the hole because the car went hard towards the wall. This time around it hooked good, but as soon as the car left the pad it spun the tires, you can hear the car hit the rev limiter in the video. I stayed in it tho to see what it would do at the topend. Sure is a big difference between the ATI and the little 6psi powerdyne I used to run.

I think I am the first 4th gen f-body here to hit the 11's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
Thanks guys,
J

J,
I measured it and it was a total length of 3 5/8". I can't find the box for it, but it is brand new. I am working on finding the receipt for it. Let me know if the length helps?

It sucks living at ~4000ft but now I'll be moving up to 5500 ft. <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

frcfed98 what do stock f-bods run up there?

I'll be moving up there in the summer, and you not giving me a whole lot go look forward to <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

12's is considered good on a H/C pacakge up here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

w8n2sqz I sent you an email I want it. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Josh Thanks mustang troll
SSCam68 Stock autos run 14.5-6s@96-99mph M6's run14.3-1's99-101mph.
With a 2800 vig, G2 Lid, Random tech cat back, MAC headers w/ORP and 3.73's HPP3 I went 13.3s@106mph.
Big AL I feel ya, sucks doesn't it. I hardly got any props on the Drag section, I guess they don't know how bad it is. All the ten second cars at sea level would be low 12s, high 11's up here. Like I said up top I am the only 4th gen to hit 11's up here so far.
J <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
PS to put this altitude into perspective STOCK VIPERS ONLY RUN 13.5-13.3s@105-8mph. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
