Default Its Offical Another 11 sec cam only A4

Went to Ennis this morning and only got 2 runs because the muscle car challenge. I just put in the 3800 SS converter and it help by 3 tenths. These would have been alittle faster but it was sprinkling and a 20mph head wind! Race weight 3530 and 59 degrees.

Run1:
60=1.755
1/8=7.672 @ 90.54
1/4= 12.04 @ 113.13

Run2:
60=1.701
1/8=7.631 @ 90.36
1/4= 11.90 @ 113.17

Thank god I did it, cause I changed my avatar after the converter install cause I knew it would do it! I can get a 11.7 to 11.8 with a better launch, I spun 15' on my fastest time!

Gary got his 11 too which was alot better than MCTORCH could do! It is awesome to have 3 guys within .1 of each other and love to race.

Congrats Scott on the 11 Sec pass!

Hopefully I will be able to get my car down here for the shootout at NPR and corvette challenge in Hallsville in November and meet some of you guys. I am hoping that with some tires and a few more bolt ons ;-) I can pull a few low 11 second passes and pull out the fastest stock bottom end N/A time as long as the temps stay a little on the milder side.

BTW, what tires and sizes are you currently running for the consistent 1.7 60'? I have managed a few 1.73 on BFG G-Force's with TC on! But they are far from consistent with the power the car is making and eventually the TC takes over and kills the power just beyond the 60' mark where I have to wait for the computer to come back online to let me get back in it. With TC off, all bets are off as I will just fry the tires through 2nd.

Im running 275/35/18 bfg drag radials. They hook awesome. Next time out I will work on my launch technq and get 1.6X. Gary pulled a 1.65 60' today. I still did not hammer it off the line. When I do should be good for another .1.

great numbers.

Hey, BTW... you say "cam only" but your sig shows a nice list of mods (or was this for a different car) ?

I still woulda loved to've seen what my old intake/exhaust/headers/tuned vert woulda ran with a few more mods, when I pulled the 12.47@111 in Jan at Gainesville this year....stock gears, converter and tires :D

I wonder if 3.73s, a 3800SS Converter and some Et Streets could have shaved 4/10s and gotten me close to the 11s....too damn bad I gotta start all over to find out :(
