PS. I ran 11.10 in 90 degree temps, 1100' physical elevation. Not far off. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

<strong>I thought Stealth had an iron-block 408ci? What happened to that motor?

His first day out he ran 10.89 @ 128.7 in the heat at E-town, the next day at ATCO he ran 10.85 @ 128.9 with a +2,500 DA.
Here is a link to his dyno numbers and time slip. Mike's dyno and time slips

I was talking to some Cartek Vette owners waiting to get into the track and they said one of their guys broke a timing chain. Good guys all of them. Anyone that thinks the Cartek cars don't run wasn't at the track that day. Congrats again.

<strong>Ouch. Damn timing chains! I need to put a double roller on mine, still have a stock one too.
Congrats on the excellent results!

The car runs awesome no matter what! I checked out the website above for conditions on June 30th in Atco, NJ. It lists the following at 11:54 a.m.: (over 40 minutes after the run according to the time on the timeslip)
temp: 82.94*F
dewpoint: 66.02*F
humidity: 56%
pressure: 30.21
Atco sits at 146' actual elevation. If you run this through the D.A. calculator found here, you get a D.A. of 1,663'. How did you come up with a 2,500'+ D.A., and where did you get the 96 degree temp that was written on the timeslip? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I have a hard time believing that it was 96 degrees at 11:09 in the morning. I know someone that was very close to Atco yesterday, and he said it was in the mid-80's for a high. What gives? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Like I said, this is not to take away from the setup. It runs friggin awesome! 1,600'+ D.A. is nothing that I'd consider awesome, but it's definitely better than the 2,500'+ being spoken of. A 10-second slip is a 10-second slip, but why is there such a huge discrepancy between the conditions listed and what multiple weather sites report?
