Default New best, 11.37 @ 122.88

Jonecap and I hit the track today, and I managed a new best. Track prep was so-so, air was great. DA was about -500 most of the day. I made 5 or 6 passes, the best of which was:

1.6596
7.3581 @ 96.71
11.3706 @ 122.88

Car is a 91 Corvette, 6 speed, basic 383 bottom end, AFR competition port 195's, XFI cam, and an Mseven tune.

Still loving the nitto's. The 1.65 was with 20 PSI in them, a 4-5 second burnout, and a 4000 RPM launch. Dead hook, no bog, and rolled out.

All in all, I'm pretty pleased. I drove the car to Fayetteville from Raleigh (about 80 miles), let some air out of the nittos, ran a bunch of 11's, aired up the tires, and drove 80 miles home.

Congrats on the new best, Josh! Had a lot of fun today and it was great to see you get that 11.3. That was way better than your bogie for the day! You've got an 11.2 in it no doubt!

It made 415 about a year ago. It's probably closer to 425 now.

Yes, it's full weight, full interior, AC, etc... I think it weighed in at 3,220 if I remember correctly.

Yeah, still full weight. Still got AC, the whole bit. I did take the spare and jack out.

Jonecap is correct, 3220 with no driver and about a 1/4 tank of gas.

Your's will go 10's man. It's got the power. Jonecap went 10.75 at 128 with 498 RWHP. If I can go low 1.5's, mine will probably go 11.0XX. It'll do it man, just give it some time.

**** man, if you don't go 10's put a bottle on it. Bypass the 10's, and go straight to the 9's. That thing would sail on a 200 shot.
