Putting the FAST in FASTECH
Add another member to the 11 second club of cars built by FASTech. The track prep was perfect for the O'Reilly Drag Racing Series, although there were alot of delays. I was competing in the Toyo Tires Street class. Run #1 was a 12.26(the car spun on the 1-2 shift and activated the A.H.). Run #2 was almost a perfect run. The car launched hard and went through three gears without a hitch. The end result was an 11.983 run @ 116 mph. That was on Runflats and the stock converter :eek: . I was given a list of things to buy from the Tech guys for breaking into the 11's :D . Run number three was a bust as I let off to soon at the end and ran a 12.26 on a 12.05 dial in. Thanks to Sean and the crew at Fastech for building a Bad butt vette. And also, I would like to thank the K&B Motorsports team for all their hospitality. Here are the specifics for the 11 second run:
1.906 60'
5.157 330'
7.782 1/8 @ 94.51
10.048 1000'
11.983 1/4 @ 116.89

I saw this run. I remember thinking as he approached the 1/8, 'Damn - he's moving!' :D Then I saw the boards... 11's! :crazy:
Congrats again, Carlos! :cheers: :cool:

Man I missed your 11 second run. Get you a good torque converter and some good tires. Can you say mid 11's. :smash:

Re: Putting the FAST in FASTECH (bparker)
LosRed85, what were your track times (1/8 or 1/4) before the heads and cam? I am coming up the route you took with my 2002, but am opting for the converter mod first, then H/C.
Slap a converter in your car and mid 11's will be a snap with good traction!
Great times for the stock converter and run flats!

Re: Putting the FAST in FASTECH (RWhite)
RWhite the fastest the car ran stock was a 8.67 @ 83.75 in the 1/8 13.35 @ 107 in the 1/4. I am currently considering which mods to do next. The converter would make the car faster at the track but, I am a little worried about how it will affect the car on the street. It definitely needs stickier tires, I will probably go the Nitto DR route. And that darn 150 shot NX kit keeps calling my name :D .
