Had some fun last night with a race ready Foxbody Mustang.
His mods: 347 Stroker, every possible bolt on, full race suspension, gutted. His car is a border line straight track car, no power steering, A/C, Wipers, roll cage, MT dr's and skinnies up front. His car runs mid 10's on a 100 shot.
First run:
I'm running my mods in sig with a 100 shot, he's all motor. We start at about 30 and run it to 90ish. We both take off he gets about a half car on me (due to having the dr's on) and I quickly make it back and pull about 1 1/2 cars on him and pulling hard until I let off. Afterward he yells out his window "should I open my bottle now?" lol I give him a grin and tell him he better.
We run again this time me off the bottle. Start about same mph and he pulls a good 2 cars on me through bottom of 2nd toward the top of 2nd I stop his pull and begin to make up some space. Unfortunately we run out of road and had to stop around 90 or so.
Stopped and chatted with the guy a while afterward, very cool guy and was very impressed with the Ls1. Was a good race to hang with one of the faster cars in town, would have been interesting to see his car on the 100 shot.

I hear ya, I was surprised myself but I think he probably ran closer to a 200 shot when he ran in the 10's. On motor I would guess he's somewhere in the 11's which is right where my car should be.

Good runs... sounds like a fun set of races with some good fast cars

A 347 stroker with those mods should be a basement 11 or a high 10 at 122-125mph depending on his setup. He could have sprayed a 150 shot and hit a mid 10 if he's a good driver

Well to take this a little further. I looked on the forum where he posts and it looks like he has run 10.8 @ 122 but apparently he's done some tweaking and is guessing to be 10.70's. I trap 122 consistently on just a 100 shot so I don't see how you are so convinced I shouldn't have beat him. My Et is definitely not where it should be due to my inability to launch a 6 speed lol
So we both trap 122 on spray, we race me on spray him not and I beat him, shouldn't be a surprise.

Maybe you should post up all your track racing opinions in the Drag Tech section This is street racing guy a different beast especially when the racing is done from low rolls.

Did you not see the depending on the setup??
I have seen 347 cars go everywhere from high 10's to low 14's.

Bottles are for babies, IMO. What do you do when the juice runs out, or your motor blows?
