Default New Best Time...

Out at U.S. 41 Sat. we had a head wind of about 20mph, still ran a new best with the camaro. 60.ft - 1.69
1/8 et - 7.636
1/8 mph - 90.41
1000' et - 9.988
1/4 et - 11.978
1/4 mph - 113.02

Will probably be getting it touch with ski for some prom changes soon. I think this combo has 11.5-11.6 in it, hopefully!!!

Thanks. My previous best was 12.18@111. I had a couple of 1.58 60fts. I think with some prom tuning, fp and timing tweaks I can improve 3 or 4 more tenths.

It's not a vette. It's a '88 Camaro. I've gone the route alot of guys with the L-98s have. It's a 383, sr, 219 cam, and Vig. 2800. My son and I went to the track Saturday. I just put on a set of the M/T streets and it seemed that we where still getting some spin, come to find out this morning the cheapo tire guage we used was reading 5 pounds more than what we thought, 17 instead of 12psi that I wanted. Anyway, pretty happy with it, but we'll be back at it before the weather gets to lousy here!!
