Default Irwindale 4/26/2007

Well went out tonight and had a pretty good night I got some pictures that I will post up little later but these are the passes I made tonight.

Run 1 - left the AC on by mistake
60' 1.985 (was really gunning for 1.9 last time but got it this time)
1/8th 8.784 @ 83.65 - damn AC

Run 2 - solid run
60' 1.942
1/8th 8.268 @ 85.80

Run 3 -
60' 1.966
1/8th 8.300 @ 85.47
That was against a white SS with a custom grind came, fast 90/90, full exhaust, rear end and full slicks. Guy said he bogged it but I don't know he ran a 1.862 60 foot and 8.092 @ 88.88, I thought it was pretty low but whatever.

Run 4 -
60' 1.960
1/8th 8.255 @ 86.03

Run 5 -
60' 1.996
1/8th 8.313 @ 86.05
That run I was racing my neighbor in his 2004 GTO, intake and exhaust and computer, he was running like **** couldnt grab traction then fucked up on his shifts too so yeah.


So pretty much good day, the times are on a 2001 A4 Camaro, whisper lid, dynomax bullet muffler dumped (stock manifolds and Y piping) and 3:73 gears. on crappy kumho 245 street tires Ill upload the pictures then post those up.

Loading up the pictures on photobucket right now so as soon as I am done I'll post them up.

EDIT: 16 images uploading right now, not much variety as I wasn't the one taking most of the shots, next time Im going to get out there with the rebel XTi and get some staging shots so that should be cool.

Nice times.
How did you launch? Did you spin any?
Do you have a tune or anyother mods?

My best at Irwindale: 00 formula 3.23 (ported tb, lid & magnaflow muffler) stock converter was 1.95 60ft 8.55 @84.9 on 2nd hand bfg dr's. It was a dead hook (no bog). I'd like to get it down like yours.

Im on stock converter and 245 kumho ecsta or something like that, just held the car at about 1100 and almost punched it and they were slightly spinning but it was launching really well. Only mods are as above lid muffler gears. I have LS1edit and only thing thats changed is line pressure and slight timing. A dyno tune would really help it out though, as soon as I buy a stall (SS4k Yank) Im going to look into getting a dyno tune, anyone know some good tuners in So. Cal, don't mind driving for quality work and peace of mind.
