Well I made it out to the track yesterday to try out my new Competition engineering shocks and anew pair of slicks. On the first pass the car left really hard and picked up the front tires about a foot off the track. But only managed a 1.500 60'. So I tightened up my front shocks 3 clicks and it left better with only about 6-8inches under the tires and a 1.48 60'. For some reason the car was running really rich, looked like a diesel with a chip smoking black and I plan on bringing it to the dyno to do some fine tuning. It still managed to run 10.93@126mph on the first pass and the second pass, 10.88@126MPH. I tired to go make another pass and when i let off the brake it snapped the driveshaft clean off. It was a stock LS1 shaft so it wasn't made for the power I was throwing at it for sure. Here is a launch pic from yesterday. later Clint

Thanks.

 

Nice! and where the hell do you live that people are wearing short-sleeve shirts? I'm in damn Iowa in a winter coat freezing my *** off!

 

Damn nice, I am jealous, I live in lafayette and pretty sure I have seen that car on a trailer going to the strip.

I have the same color same model car that I am in the process of getting ready for drag racing.

 

Very cool!!! Congrats and that MPH says you got alot left in it!!!!! LE did a great job with your set up!!

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. I live in Lafayette Louisiana and the high was 55 degrees on Sunday. The track only closes from mid December until early Januaury. later Clint

 

What LE heads are you running?? SR or HR cam??

 

That's cool! I bet you put the hurt on that Mustang in the next lane with you.

 

looking good

 

Not too shabby

 

Glad it's going again Clint, can't wait to see you get it dialed in.

 

Nice!

I can't wait to get back to the strip

 

I am running LE3 heads and a solid roller cam from Lloyd.

Actually that Mustang in the other lane had a bigblock, big tires and beat me like I owed him money. He ran 10.40 to my 10.80 and he had a lightweight dragcar so I don't feel bad about that.

 

Hey I can't find my stock steel driveshaft. Would anybody have a stock steel driveshaft lying around to sell for cheap? I am going to have a custom shaft built but would like to have something to use for now. LMK Thanks Clint

 

I have one but it is out of balance & over 80mph you can feel it vibrate. If your local you can have it, but Im not gonna ship it, cost to much and you could prob find one local cheaper

 

Well I would pay for shipping if it was in good shape but thanks anyways. Anybody else have one in good sahpe that I can test out. LMK Thanks Clint

 

I'd sell ya my 3" CM unit, but you have to lengthen it, for your setup. Just an option, if you cant find anything else.

 

Nice car dude saw u out there car leaves good.
