So i took my opti off today after replacing the Coil, ICM, Plugs, and Wires because it was really the only thing left to replace lol. apparently a Rotor screw came off (spinning to almost 7k is bad?) and it just made a big mess inside. so the new one went on today as well and i hit the track.

First Pass (Launched at 5k-5500)

60' 1.823
1/4 12.292
MPH 114.83(short shifted 1st)

Second and last pass (Launched at 6k)

60' 1.749
1/4 11.96
MPH 116.52

this is on a 27" tall tire with 3.73 gears. ill be ordering 4.30s soon and expecting to hit 11.60s with better air. stock 90k mile bottom end as well

 

Nice times, congrats!

 

Right on nice times dude. I've got the same engine combo. Do you have dyno numbers?

 

OP.
Has it been on the dyno?
Is that the old Bauer 1.5 cam?

launched at 6K. Yikes.

 

Another LE combo in the 11's. Congrats!

 

nice times! your not still on the 10 bolt are you? i'd say you still have some time left in that 60'

 

no dyno numbers, hopefully soon though

yeah and the clutch is kinda like an on/off switch. i need some new rear shocks to keep the tires mounted

nope on a 12 bolt. ill hopefully be ordering my 4.30s and a spool this weekend


thanks guys

 

Yeah you need to get it on a dyno at least to see where your power peak is so you know exactly where to shift. It's possible you could improve your times knowing that tid bit of info since that will also let you decide exactly what gears to get to accommodate your power band.

 

At 116 you've got more than 11.90's in it. Get that 60' down and it'll go! Congrats!

 

Man that is some awesome times! Cant wait till I get there with my car.

 

OP.
What valve springs are you running?

 

Nice, good to see another LE setup running 11's! I have pretty much an identical setup (LE2's with LE1.3 cam). You definetly have some left in there I say with gears and a dyno tune you will hit 119mph-ish. I just dyno tuned my car and picked up a substantial amount of power so definetly look into that eventually.

 

Nice times, yeah I ran 11.60's@116mph but you will need to 60' in the low 1.6 range to do that. Not really hard being you have a 12bolt and 4.30's on order. Now put a little money into the suspension, some Hals up front, adjustable rear shocks and you could run low 11's. Goodluck Later Clint

 

definately good times for a shakedown pass this time of year.

I'm guessing since you have no dyno numbers that it has a mail order tune. a dyno tune will def pick up some more power

 

Sweet Deal!!!! Car is coming together! I see way better times in the near future for both of us!!

 

Patriot golds, the beehives on the car broke in the first 50 miles. The new ones were sent by lloyd

 

jeez, comp's quality control seems to get worse and worse by the day

 

Deja vu'
I had the same LE1.5 cam and my Comp 918's busted in 20 miles. I then started running various beehive's but I could not find a spring that would prevent the valves from floating. The float was easily seen on the dyno graphs when the power just collapsed at 6K RPM. I then pulled the LE1.5 cam for a LE1 cam to error on the side of more reliability. This only meant a reduction of around .030" of lift but the durations were the same.

Good to hear that your LE1.5 cam works with the Patriot springs. I never did use the Patriot's with my old cam but I did install them in a buddies LT1 with the 1.5 cam and they did appear to cure the float in his too.

Congrats on the numbers, that is awesome. I ran 13 flat @107 with 2.3 second 60 foot. Clearly I could not drive the car worth a ****.

I really want to see you dyno graph when you get the chance.

 

I have the le1.6 cam, good to see nice numbers as I have not run my car yet.

 

NICE , whats your DA , i have an le2 cam and le1 heads with full bolt ons and have only gone 12.48 at 112 here with 6750 DA amarillo tx
