I went to Pueblo Motorsports Park on Sunday. This was my first time ever on a drag strip. The elevation is about 4900ft. Temp was around 60. Tire pressure at 30 PSI. Not sure about DA :confused:

Here are my numbers. Launched at 2500 RPM

r/t 1.266
60' 2.286
330 5.905
1/8 8.819
mph 84.83
1000 11.315
1/4 13.409
mph 107.27

second run RED LIGHT :bb

third and final run of the day. Launch at 1500 RPM

r/t .821
60' 2.218
330 5.854
1/8 8.763
mph 84.88
1000 11.255
1/4 13.343
mph 107.50

Overall I was pretty pleased. I was told that most ZO6's that run there have been running 13.5's. I plan on going again. Need to work on those 60' times and my reaction times. I really think I can break into the 12's with more practice.

My brother has a 99 C5 MN6 with a Vortex intake his best of the day was a 13.919 at 103.9 MPH. He ran 5 runs.

Vortech C5 was also there. I am posting his quotes below. His speeds were very fast, especially given the fact that he couldnt even get traction until 3rd gear :eek:


Vortech C5
"I took my car to the strip today. This strip is at an elevation of 4900 so the mph is not even close to what you guys at sea level normally see.
My previous best (not counting a run with a tail wind) was 14.6 at 98.4 which is about the same that the rest of the C5 guys were running that evening. Today I ran a very traction limited 13.5 at 114.83.

To me the important thing is that I picked up 16.4 mph with the Vortech and FLPs. That is a pretty good mph gain especially considering the altitude. I think that equates to about a 150-160 horsepower gain. I was seeing 7psi of boost today."


Let the games begin
:D :cheers: :auto:

 

I think you need a bigger motor :D :D

 

and more oxygen :party:

 

Yano,

I know how to stuff more air into that engine of yours... :D

Seriously, you did a good job at the track. My fuel pressure is dropping under boost so it's time for a fuel system upgrade. Once I get that done we'll head to the strip again.

 

Thanks. Can't wait to go again. I want to work on those reaction times and those 60 ft times.

I do believe either big cubes or FI is in my future. :D
