Your car is running good if you hadn't spun you would have been on a pass.

Pulling the air filter hurt you?

I pulled mine and picked up 1mph my one pass. Of course it was getting colder out so I can't attribute the whole gain to that. I'll have to test it out because now you got me interested in knowing.

yep I lost 6mph from the previous pass. I out treed and 60ft him and the car just didnt make any power. I supose that could of been when my rocker broke, but im not sure.
All I know is I lost 6mph and a half second in the finals.

Damn thats a real shame man. Considering I went faster without the filter I think that the rocker must have broken during that pass since you lost so much. Your situation has me thinking about switching to the Hi-Tech stainless ones and sell these Pro Mags while I'm ahead when I get the extra cash.

Our cars were quite evenly matched, thats for sure. With as bad as you tree'd me in the finals you would have won for sure on a clean run.

But in all fairness, I want to point out that the race before the finals, before you pulled your air filter, we were up against each other, and had similar reaction times and 60', yet I still won and out mph-ed you. Not tryin to rub it in or anything, just pointing it out

By the way, for the record, my "killer" LE cam is barely bigger than yours. It's 236/236 @.050, .593 lift, 107 lsa. And my heads are not LE, they are an older set (2003-04ish) CHS heads, thin 561 castings, and flow a bit less than an average set of LE2s. Also, my 350ci is not a stock bottom end, its got heavy Probe pistons and Scat 7/16 I-beam rods

I know you're planning on being faster next year, not to worry though, I'll be good competion for ya next year too

Thats an awesome pic you just posted btw, thanks for the kind words, see ya next year

Our cars were an awesome pair, but I had the filter back in after the first 2 qaulifing runs that didnt go well and the car picked up a ton with it in. Thats what pisses me off!!! I decided to pull it again after I knew the car ran better with it in.
I consider my cam a pretty killer LE cam, but yours was better. Also I know your heads arent LE but must flow very good!
Not tryin to take anything away, you deserved it 100%

Thanks man I know you weren't tryin to take anything away, I just wanted to point out that my motor isn't anything special and I'm actually quite surprised that it was able to out-run your great running LE2 car, especially considering mine was weighing in a little over 100 lbs more than yours.

If you had won, you would have deserved it 100% also, especially considering you were battling some clutch woes.

I know I'm gonna have my hands full with you and your car next year, it should be a blast!

I hope you decide to stick with your M6 though...I know I am...

Cool, I'll be watching for a thread with your new PB

I've got a few things to do to mine, but I should make it out to the track again sometime in Oct to shoot for a new PB. Unfortunatly, I'll still likely be faced with 1500+ DA. Doesn't get much lower than that anytime of year around here.
