Default PEPE HRP Track Times/Vids Sep 8th '06

Well PEPE's getting closer to 10's , made 5 passes, dropped the air to 12 lbs on the 28x13.5 ET Streets and no pansy bogging 4500rpm launches like last month. My digcam is not the best quality & doesn't vid/zoom so couldn't get the board times on vid.

2nd pass (launched @5200rpm...screwed up a little staging):
R/T: .272
60': 1.781
1/4: 11.678 @119.67

4th pass (launched @5600rpm):
R/T: .518
60': 1.689
1/4: 11.397 @120.56
video - http://s36.photobucket.com/albums/e5...t=MOV01812.flv

LAST & BEST PASS my buddy didn't record, but (launched @6300rpm):
R/T: .367
60': 1.605
1/4: 11.349 @121.33

Thanks dude! Impressive times yourself, will be celebrating my tail off when and if I hit 10.999 I know I could do it on bottle...just love the all-motor attempt with these supposedly under-rated slow LT1s

Get the 60 down and you'll get it with good weather. I made 468 rwhp and it got me in the 10's. What susp you got?

My best N/A is 11.47. then again we have went to light wheels and dropped some wieght off the car. we are going to do some more more for the race in two weeks and try for nines.

I am fairly sure you have a 10 in her. harder launch and faster shifts

BTW whats up with the granny shifts?

Great job! Do some fine tuning on the driver and go out and hammer again!

You gonna have to squeeze out some more mph, 120 aint gonna run a 10 at your weight, your mph vs et are inline(low 11@120 ish) 125 will get you there, tune baby tune, the dyno is not NECESSARILY the end all, play with it at the track if you have the ability to do so. BTW cool car.

Appreciate the tips David, buddy and I were going through details last night and I decided on where to lose some weight but I am running 4:10 gears in the 12-bolt w/28x13.5 MT ETs and the way it launches even @6300rpm there is a lull out of 1st still which has me considering 4:33 gears or maybe even 4:56s which might be too much, not sure. I won't be able to tune myself until I go with the FAST or BigStuff. Thanks again!

LMAO ..Was hoping nobody noticed the pahpah shifting ...dude I'm concentrating so hard staging that once I launch I'm not paying attention to speed/power shifting, just getting to the end . but it's my 2nd track visit since I've had her back in 2yrs, I'll get there with practice.
