My previous best 1/4 mile time is in my sig, as well as, the mods I had at the time (also had 2.59 rear). In fact here's the whole slip to compare to my new best.

60' 1.78
330 5.379
1/8 8.432
mph 80.58
1000 11.096
1/4 13.350
mph 100.17

Since that time I have added a 3.07 rear, an accel intake, ASM runners, a ported plenum, Ford 24 lb injectors, 1.6 Pro Magnum rollers, new valve springs springs, and a Holley AFPR. I got to the track last night for the first time with the new set-up. I'd have to say the weather was less than ideal, probably about mid 80s when we arrived and fairly humid so I wasn't expecting great results. I made three runs and the first two were less then stellar. On the first I accidentally ran with the AC on :crazy:. The second run was made about 45 seconds after the first so the car was way too hot. I then had about a 50 minute wait prior to the third run so I took advantage of the down time by icing down the plenum. Anyway the results are as follows

60' 1.788
330 5.36
1/8 8.373
mph 81.60
990 10.889
1/4 13.147
mph 104.39

I must say I'm pretty happy with the results for my first time out with the new mods when considering the weather and the fact that I'm not sure that I'm dialed in yet on my fuel pressure and timing. I'm taking the car to a dyno on Saturday where hopefully I'll find a few lost ponies through some tuning. Hopefully with the right weather and proper tuning I'll see some slips that start with 12.xx
:cheers:

Tom - Great results, was this at ATCO ?

The weather is real rough right now.

For some comparision, I have gone 13.15 on 6/28 and 13.21 on 7/12 during the Corvette Challenge events. The 60's were about 1.82, I think 12's are within your reach during the fall season.

Vic

 

Hey Vic, yes it was at Atco. It seemed a bit cooler than it has been recently, but still less than ideal. I'll definitly be at the next event. BTW, I'll also have an air pump eliminator installed by then so I'll be curious to see if that makes a difference.

That is a damn good 60'

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

 

:iagree: :yesnod:

 

:iagree: too. I wish I could do that on my street tires...

 

Yeah...

Do to the lack of good tracks in CA (land too expensive) I've never been to the strip with my '87 but from what I see, your 60' times are KILLER for the mods you have. The hole shot is my claim-to-fame as well, with the 405 ftlbs starting below 2000 RPM having more to do with that than my driving skill however. Until the state of CA realizes that we need a place to race, I'll just keep doing it one stop light at a time. Wish the kids in their ricers would stay out of the way though.

BIG JIM

 

TPI cars 60' very well.

Put a small convertor in and you have easy 1.80 60' times with a bolton TPI Vette.

Tom - We'll have a better comparision when we both run on the same day.

Vic

 

Great times!!! :cool: :cheers:

 

Any idea what the DA was on tues night ?

Vic

 

Vic, I don't have any idea about the DA. Atco does normally give temp, humidity and barometer readings on their time slips, but unfortunately all read "0" that night.

 

TA,
That's an AWESOME time! I can't WAIT to get my vette back! If you gained a solid 4mph through the traps, I'd say that's good!! :D
