Last runs N/A 12's almost....
 
I took the monte out to the dragstrip today for the last time more than likely before the turbo kit goes in. I also picked up some Hoosier Quick Time Pro's 26x9.5x16" drag radials and put them on some mustang rims I had. Car hooked good. Only problem is I was not able to use the water box at the track due to how they are set up, cars back into the water box. So I attempted to do burnouts, but the tires gripped so good are were not wet, that I could not get the car to break loose to heat them up.

I think maybe torque management was kicking in. I would hammer it with traction control off at the line and the car would nose dive. I was able to do a burn out on the street, but the track must have been sticky in the burn out area preventing me from getting loose. I ran the tires at around 26 pounds.

Okay, so my best run today was a 13.007 @ 107.82 with a 1.935 60 foot. Other runs were in the 13.07 - 13.1x range. Maybe with some better tire heat, I could have pulled off the 12.9 and I was extremely close, although I didn't feel any tire spin at all. I should have tore out the front and rear seat and could have got it, but wanted to do it full weight. Oh, the drag radials took a little more than 2/10ths off my et vs. street tires.

So 13.007 it is, must be the quickest N/A LS4 I'm guessing. Recipe in sig....

Wow man that's really moving, I'm surprised your trap speed went up with the slicks, usually it goes down a bit. Let us know how the turbo install goes!

Superb,.............yeah I believe if those slicks were a little more hot you would most certainly have a slip in the high 12's but still nice runs man!!

If I only ran mine on the track... ooh well it'll be snowing here pretty soon.

Whats the borderline times where you need extra safety stuff in the car hmmm.

Red03GT Sep 28, 2008 07:33 PM

Nice, congrats on the time. 7 thousands of a second away from a high 12 lol. So you got a little spin off the line?

GXPJAY Sep 28, 2008 08:36 PM

Those are great times!! You'll like the Turbo.

Nice work man! Im going to the track as soon as i get these pushrods. Gonna see if i can get the slicks mounted up this week and see how far i can get this thing.

As for your nose dive, the diff score was prolly working (one wheel spinning faster than the other, keeps it from blowing up the differential)

Just get the lsd for it... always more parts to get.
