Went up to Dallas raceway with Tony and Kyle to do a little testing for the LTX Shootout. I only made one nitrous pass as my car is pretty much ready to go and am still running the same combo as last year.

60' 1.424
330' 4.075
1/8 ET 6.303
1/8 MPH 111.83
1000 8.207
1/4 ET 9.826
1/4 MPH 132.02

I ran out of nitrous 900-1000' feet down track and the car nosed over pretty good.....looking forward to letting it all hang out in Bowling Green

Way to go Ray! Camera man did a fine job!

 

Great job Ray!

 

Way to go dude, car is rollin hard. What's the ratio of that first gear? It zings by pretty fast.

 

I am using a 700r4

1st 3.06:1
2nd 1.76:1
3rd 1.00:1

and yes it zings by pretty quick

 

Yeah that's a fairly deep first. Car sounds like it has a lot more left in it

 

another view....

The car has been a best of 139.78 mph so look for a much lower ET at the Shootout.
I normally pick up ~30mph on the 2nd half

 

thats halling the mail, if u don"t mind whats ur combo? how much spray?

 

here is a quick rundown of the car....that pass was a 200 shot.
3220# Raceweight

396cid...built in 2003
Eagle crank, 6.0 rods
Ross pistons
AFR 227 heads
246/254 .613/.590 112lsa (HR)
LS7 lifters

700R4
3000 stall...little higher on the bottle
moser 12 bolt
3.73
28x10 hoosier slicks

OEM PCM
MSD Opti
6800 RPM shift points

Spohn TQ Arm
Billet LCA (hiem joints)
QA1's all 4 corners

any thing I left out that you want to know ask and I will add it

 

Something looked funky on the 1-2 shift at exactly the 34 sec mark. The car nosed down real hard and it sounded like the rpms went way up for a split second. It might have been the doppler effect but it sounded like a manual car doing a powershift to me. My friends Mustang does the same thing when it shifts. It might be slipping a little.

I can only imagine what your car would do with a th350 with a nice 2.75 first gear. You'd probably get another 30 feet out of it in first.

Good run though!

 

nice run ray....

 

6800rpm shift point with 7000rpm limiter so it couldn't be big rpm flare...now the 2/3 shift it was on the limiter.

One thing you might be hearing is the nitrous bottle was really low, and it surged a few times on the bottem end of the track as well as finally giving up the ghost on the big end.

there is a powerglide in the cars near future how near I aint saying

 

Glide

 

Awesome!

All these LT1 cars coming out lately and running STRONG! Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside!

 

Grats.

I know the gear and stall is too small for NA, but out of curiosity what is it running on motor?

 

that night I ran an 11.27 @ 118 (1.63)

best is 11.10 @ 124 (1.6)

 

Very nice considering the street gearing and baby stall .

 

Good run, Christine is probably not going to make it to the shootout so consider yourself lucky It was revenge time since the last time we ran each other..

 

hate to hear that, I have been looking forward to the rematch.

 

congrats

look like the front bumper needs a little supporting or you might fly away
