He was running 103-104 mph every time I saw him run, pretty good IMO for just bolt-ons. I bet with a good convertor his car will be well into the 12s.


My car ran like poop last night, I'll be changing a few things before I go back to the track.

I was. And wasn't happy about it then either. I've been trying to dial in my suspension since I got it all, and aparently the most recent adjustments I made didn't help one bit.

My best pass last night ended up being 12.07 @ 116 with a shitty 1.86 60'

That's a good point. I consider my bottle empty when it gets down to 6 lbs.

Yeah i was trapping 102-103 and 104 on my runs. Car ran really well and hooked decent. Car has full umi suspension, lowered and kyb shocks and nittos. Motor and tranny only have 1200 miles. motor mods are 1.6 rr. Other than that stock car with most bolt-ons. Tranny is stock and so is the rear. Great time going out last night with fellow lt1 buddies.

P.S. most mods are in sig

for sure depending on the size pill you can expect 6-8 strong passes on a bottle w/ wet kit. many times people will look at the guage and assume it is adequate but you really need to pick up the bottle and feel how light it is getting. nothing worse than setting up a race and finding out after you get beat,that you were too low on the sauce
