Re: Post your 1/4 times (Aaron360)
12.06 @ 116 mph.. (this was last time at the track 6 months ago)
Since then - I did lots of mods to the car.. I hope to be in the 11.70's this winter

Re: Post your 1/4 times (Aaron360)
The 'Vette went 12.1 @ 118mph. It's put away for the winter so I won't be breaking into the 11s with it. I'm pulling the motor out this winter for some engine work. The motor will be going into my Camaro where it will hopefully pop some wheelies and run me into the 10s. :)

In the sig. If I would ever tune the dang thing I know I could get a better time. But they are kicking me off now so how can I tune it with no more than 2 runs a night.

Oliver, what have you done to your car to make it faster ?
Shane, looking forward to seeing the times from your Camaro

Also in my sig:
'69 13.88 with a faulty fuel pump and a carburetor that was assembled backwards stealing a measured 100RWHP.
'02 13.15 on a 2000RPM clutch feathered drop due to lack of traction.
Yes, I know, excuses, excuses, excuses.
I will get into the 12s! :)

Re: Post your 1/4 times (sammyb)
new best:
14.759 @ 93.22mph best 60' 2.204 best R/T .118 (.000 perfect light)
previously:
15.457 @ 87??
Old time (and first time drag racing) was with 2" duals to targa tips, Performer intake, and dist. recurve. New time added CompCams 268 high energy cam (218/218 .454), matched valvesprings, CompCams ProMagnum lifters (antipumpup). Virtually zero tuning has been done, hope to see some gains at the dyno in October. Next engine mod will be Sportsman2 heads and headers after suspension work is done.

Re: Post your 1/4 times (69 N.O.X. RATT)
Oliver, what have you done to your car to make it faster ?
2) carbon fiber driveshaft and halfshaft (half weight of the steel shafts) (not in the car yet.. but will be installed before I'll race again)
3) Cold Air Intake (reduced the intake air temp by 10 - 40 degrees which should be good for 8 - 20 HP) (I measured the difference)
4) Race seat (at least 20 - 30 lbs weight saving)
