Default Centerville results

Thought I'd post up some results and get some from others. My limiting factor was traction...I got similar results on street tires as I did with the Nitto's. But I think I figured out a recipe to make them work. My best pass today was 10.53 @ 98.10 with a 1.90 60'. I spun bad on my first four passes and assumed I would on my last pass. I dropped the pressure to 13-14 psi and hooked, but didn't give her hell until 1.1 seconds into the run according to Ryans EFI Live log. I really wonder what the time would have been had I hit it hard on the launch. But instead I pedaled it off the line and it took me a minute to realize I wasn't spinning. Either way, probably going to Memphis the week after next to see if I can improve on that. Not what I wanted to see today, but definitely have some room for improvement. Let's see some other results.

I have heard similar things about them Nittos. Bene was telling me that you were wanting to try my ET Streets out with your Car, those will hook, I have the broken parts to prove it..

Nick's best was a 10.78 @101.47 with a 2.1 short time. I ran him that time and got a 10.78 @97.89 with a 2.0 short time. 6-speeds really put down the trap speeds as we all know.

Yeah, if you're willing, I wouldn't mind trying the ET streets. I know I have a lot left in the car, just got to get it off the line. I'm going to try these tires out again at Memphis with similar pressure and burnout time as my last pass today. But it'd be nice to run the ET's for a pass or two and see the difference in 60' times.

I got plans to stall mine and run the ET Streets. You saw what mine was doing before, it should be pretty stout. Hopefully it won't kill anything. When you going to Memphis?

99hawk262, I was the one you ran against when you ran the 10.53. You launched hard as well I was like, "wow he just put like 3 cars on me." I was pissed off today. I got there late, I had the slowest Ls1 there and the best I could do was an 11.36 @95 mph. I had traction off the line so I guess I'll just blame the wind?? cause I've ran and 11.20 before.I thought bene was there, but I guess not. That pewter camaro with the black berger and chrome zo6's looks just like benes, only standard. Does anyone know what broke on that white diesel? I was leaving and I heard the turbos spool then it just stopped.

Sweet. I figured 99hawk would have beat my b est time for sure. 10.00.

4k stall, m/t radials, 7.5" 10 bolt= BOOM!!!!!! I told merv when I sold him the DR"s. I have read many times people goin from nitto's and regular bias ply ET streets to these M/T e/t street radials and blow diffs. He did it in a matter of like two weeks.

Ben's car has only got exhaust, lid, tune and stall.....it's definetly capable of 10.20's-10.30's with a good launch, I don't know how you thought he'd beat your time though????

Yeah, that was nick's. I've tried C'ville before and was disappointed for their track prep. You should come w/ us for the Memphis track meet next time.

Yeah, I only have the basic bolt-ons right now. If I can achieve 12.20's-12.30's with traction I will be thrilled. But that's gonna be a hard time to crack without better tires. We'll see what happens at Memphis. I expect better track prep and I have an idea on how to get a better 60'. I'll probably go the week after next on Tuesday night. Got some minor adjustments to make to the tune between now and then....it's getting KR on the 2-3 shift and pulling 3.XX degrees of timing. Ryan has some ideas we are going to try.
