So Close....... As many of you know we have been helping Casper383 get his car dialed in....figured I would give you guys an update from this weekends testing.
But first here is a little background for those that have missed the previous posts.
1993 Z28, 383cid, "as-cast" AFR 195's, "as-cast" Edelbrock Vic-E EFI, 860 Performance Elbow, Hydraulic Roller Cam. LT1 PCM, TH350, 12 bolt, 3.73's. Nothing really exotic with the build, just a well thought out combo.
Previous times.
10.9 @ 122 (1.48) on motor
10.3 @ 130 (1.3x) on a 100 shot
This weekend we took the car up to the Texas Motorplex for some testing on the 150 shot.
First nitrous pass the car went 10.22 @ 132 on a 1.39 60'....the car launched well and pulled good through the 1/8th but seemed to nose over on the big end. We determined the bottle didn't have enough volume left to maintain pressure down track so we swapped in a new one.
Here is the result.....

That pass the MPH went up to 135 so we knew we had a shot at a 9 on the 150 shot.
Here is a later pass and one that made him to decide to put the limiters back on the car.

Big Thanks go out to Madman....the SYA bars took the brunt of the blow....just a scrape on one of the headers.

Easy for me to say, I've never lifted the left front, let alone stand it up. But damn, to bad he didn't keep his foot in it.
Nice job to Casper and you.
Happen to know what the DA was that day?

I was sure upset the Motorplex cancelled the second Saturday. I was going just to watch you and Ray make the attempt. They said it was due to cold temperatures but the forecast was warmer and less windy than last weekend. I think they're all about the $ margin now. See you guys next year
, guess i'll have to wait till next year lol
