Sprayed it for the first time Well I finally sprayed it for the first time this weekend at the GAFBA shootout. I was really pleased cnsidering my car weighed in with a raceweight of 3780lbs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> let me know what yall think. The car picked up just over a sec and 10mph with a 150 shot.
MOTOR PASS
.551 RT
1.616 60'
4.841 330'
7.459 1/8 95.11
9.697 1000'
11.562 1/4 121.65
GAS looked like this
.754 RT caught me sleepin on a PRO tree
1.461 60' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
4.398 330'
6.796 1/8 102.65
8.829 1000'
10.534 1/4 131.84 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
MY best MPH on the day was on a 10.62 pass which was 132.33.
I decided that I like GAS <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
Now it's time for the car to go on a diet.

Re: Sprayed it for the first time Hey what's up Chad. I met you while you were down here getting that 408 put together by Texas Speed & Performance. Impressive runs. I finally got my car running good. I ran a 11.67 last night with just the cam, headers, and nitrous.

Re: Sprayed it for the first time 1.4s 60 foot times, that thing launching sweetly, sounds like you have the suspension dialed in! Congrats on those times as well. Looks like a good combo, I don't have plans to go nearly that fast, but great to see other members here tearing it up. (My plan is a procharger one day with low boost, and hopefully some 11x trap speeds.)

The rest of my suspension is all stock including all four shocks and springs. Just removed the front sway bar that's all. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Hmmmmm....wonder what a set of Hal's and drag springs would do...and maybe a 28" tire too. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Re: Sprayed it for the first time Chad.....nice #'s man. Meant to get w/you and intro. myself but was late getting there and pre-occupied w/ getting some decent #'s before eliminations. Kick *** 60'/MPH #'s.....and yer right. Whittle down your race weight and <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> it like you stole it and loooow 10's are in the bag <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
