Default new track times

Well, finally things are really coming together for my combo. Since I dont have my 12 bolt in the car yet, the ET has not been a concern of mine yet....just mph. I was running on 16" nitto DRs which dont do a whole lot for traction.

The DA was ~+550' today which is about the best I have ever seen it at our track. Actual elevation of the track is 1100'. The car is not fine tuned either...never has had any dyno tuning or any real street tuning....just a PCM program that I got from Mark Montalvo.

396, solid roller, AFR heads, 6spd, etc...

Temp 51*
Humidity 80%

60' 1.91
1/8 7.65@98.43mph
1/4 11.61@125.75 *naturally aspriated*

Like I said, I only really was concerned with mph. My goal for this motor was 125-126mph at our track here.

Looks like 10s NA are very possible with traction/12 bolt. I am going to put new valvesprings in the motor this winter, and may do a little more headwork. Probably wont re-cam since I really like the driveability of the car (about like a HOT cam in a stock motor).

All I can say is Mark Montalvo is the man with head/cam combos

Next year....fogger time!

Good lord that motor is making some power! Sounds like Mark has got the tune just about dialed in when you factor in driveability and still the ability to lay down 125 mph pass down the 1/4 mile.

125mph on motor? That is insane! Good work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

BTW, what was your raceweight?

Thanks guys <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Bobby, how are things with you? Any progress on the history-maker? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Jim, raceweight was 3575 today (I weigh 210lbs). Now you gotta fine tune this thing for me! I was runing 39 degrees of timing (the same program that I sent you)...only difference is that I have the fuel pressure up to 50lbs at WOT.

In the words of Jim Moran, "I reached back like a pimp and smacked the LS1 in the other lane today" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

All in good fun though...LS1 rule!
