9.60 @ 137 on 13psi
Well we went 9.60 at 137 running out of gear at the 1000ft mark in my GTO last night. And that was on a 1.60 60ft... track was pretty slick. My first 60ft was 1.45 and went 9.64 @ 135 letting out shortly after the 1/8th, car felt a little loose on the big end. The car still has a lot left in it, but we were kindly asked to shut it down until I am licensed and certified.
Is this pretty good for only 13psi and running out of gear!? I know I am very impressed with it, just not sure if I am on par with where I need to be. Next time out after licensing we will probably hit it with 16psi or so and see what it does, but I am pretty happy with it for now.
As far as we know it is currently the fastest stock body GTO in the country. And we still have lots of room for improvement! 8.50s are the goal!

Awesome first outing Mick! We've cut 1.29 60 ft times on the same tires, so we know those drag radials hook. How much boost were you able to build at the line? Bob
Looks like we are sending the converter out tomorrow to get it tightened up and hopefully get back to the track Thursday to see if we can make some licensing passes.
What a rush... I still haven't stopped thinking about going down the track and really can't wait to get back. We will keep it safe and conservative for the licensing passes. And once thats over with we will start pushing harder. I'm hoping we can get 9.2s with just tightening up the converter and getting this thing to hook!
If anyone has any tips for when I make my licensing passes please chime in with anything you recommend!!!
Thanks guys!
