Your car is flyin bro,i know what your altitude feels like on my lungs and in my car..I thought my car lost 3 cyl. while runnin around out there. My best friend lives in Golden,his z28 ran 11.8s in Houston and almost had a fit when he moved to Colorado, hit the track and ran 13.3

Its real easy for someone to talk crap about the performance of anothers car due to mods that are done but when it all comes down to it DA has the final say so. Atco,E-town,HRP,Moroso etc.. all the known sea-level tracks dont have great DA all the time.

Here in Vegas we generally run at 2400' on up....

 

Good job, like everyone else has said drop that sixty and get in the 12s.

I have never ran at that high of an elevation, but I know I ran my car in Amarrillo (base elev is 4500) and i was surprised to see 13 second time slips from a car that normally ran 12.2s....lol

 

You got one sexy *** car! Now get some seat time, some drag radials (preferably with a rearend on first on that t-56) and run the **** out of it!

Be proud!

 

Defiantly good times for Denver! At sea level it would run in the 11's and trap 118mph Good job! Now spray that bitch

 

When we go with you tomorrow to Bandi Ill get some vids of you breaking
12's N/A

 

That would be FANTASTIC Bobby! lol. Thats why I wanted you there yesterday dude! I needed someone to shoot video! lol

 

Cory you should mention you still have 3:42s and pure BARELY using 4th gear. Wait til the 410s are in and it 60s hard...

My car is right behind him up here running 13.3s, baby cam only and 2.2 60 foots. Id say we hold our own up here. Both of them tuned by me.

Keep me updated tomorrow, Cory. Gotta work :/

 

Yeah...what he said...I am still on a stock 10-bolt with 3.42's lol.

 

And Calvin, yo ualso have 3.90's

 

Hope the tow truck can make it up that big mountain to pick up whats left of your 10 bolt when you launch with slicks. A trailer might be a good idea

 

lol I have alot of friends in Denver and I have roadside assistance so when it breaks, most of the exit to bandi is doenhill...if I can roll it I will roll it to the road and call roadside lol. Have it towed to a friends where I can work on it...

 

Goodluck man, get a few low 12 second passes in before that rear pops

 

Here are the results of the Club Clash I just ran at Bandimere on Friday!

I made 3 runs with the slicks, but this was the VERY FIRST time I have been on a track with slicks so it took me a couple runs to adjust, and to make it worse this was a Club Clash so it was bracket racing. Bandi was being stingy so we were only authorized 2 time trial runs before eliminations began...the pressure in the slicks for these runs was 20#.

Time Trial 1: I launched at 3000 rpms and bogged the **** out of it...ended up with a 2.4 60' and a 13.5 run at 109

Time Trial 2: I launched at 4000 rpms and still bogged...not quite as bad but nontheless sucked...ended up with a 2.3 60' and a 13.3 run at 108

After time trials, eliminations began. I put up a dial in of 13.2, and the guy I lined up next to had a dial in of 13.05. I launched at 5000 rpms (expecting instant death) and slightly feathered the clutch. I spun kinda hard but launched a little bit better. He finished in front of me but we both broke out. He ran a 12.97 and I ran a 13.15 so he broke out by .07, I broke out by .05 so I got the win.

On that run I ended up with a 2.2 60' and a 13.15 run at 110.68...this is the only one I kept the timeslip for so here is how it reads:

HIM________________ME
R/T----.071________R/T----.107
60'-----2.00________60'-----2.25
330----5.60________330----5.79
1/8----8.449_______1/8----8.643
MPH---86.82_______MPH---86.22
1000-10.885_______1000-11.097
1/4---12.971_______1/4---13.151
MPH--106.39_______MPH--110.68

DA was 7406ft at the exact time of this run which was 7:40pm on 30 July 2010 at Bandimere in Denver.

the DA for the first 2 runs respectively was: 9000ft, and 8758ft.

Rear end was holding up fairly well but I also never got a hard launch out of it...I was supposed to race the 2nd round of eliminations, but it started raining on us so they called the races. HAD I ran the next roung I was going to drop the pressure in the slicks to 15# and launch at 4500 rpms. I plan on going to Douglas this Friday to try again maybe!

 

You need a set of gears to help that 60' out. My car has always bogged w/ 3.42's. I have to launch at 4000rpm + to get any amount of tire spin. Good luck on the next outing.

 

I am waiting on the funds of a loan as we speak to assemble and install my new rear end which will have 4.10's in it! Should be done by the end of Aug at the latest cause I wanna get some practice in before the LTX Shootout!

 

Here is a video of how bad I bogged on my 2nd run which was the 13.3 @ 108! It bogs pretty bad, but picks up really fast!

well she sounds good! I know nothing about running at those elevations... still cant believe 400rwhp = 13seconds.. I think I'd move you should def be in the 12s w/ some gear tho! congrats man!!

 

Was Michael J Fox holding the camera? jeesh

 

That Da is nasty !! I ran last week with a DA of 4500 and thought that was bad.

 

yea, that is a hell of a bog. Nothing that can't be helped with some more track time.

The gears will make it a completely different car.

How tall are the slicks?
