New best time!!!
UPDATE: Video below
Ennis, Tx
11-15-08
1.732 60'
7.309 1/8
101.12 MPH
11.194 1/4
129.02 MPH
With a little better 60' and my new clutch I should see 10's. Check my profile for mods. I will post up time slip later when my buddy scans it in for me.
Also this was my first time running stock tires up front and MT ET Streets out back. I was scared 1st pass b/c of all the hype of the car getting crazy down the track b/c of running radial with non radial. It swayed some shifting 1st to 2nd but after that it felt perfectly fine. Didn't feel risky or scary at 129mph. Felt normal. Also when it swayed when I shifted 1st to 2nd I just kept wheel straight and it corrected itself everytime.

It's much, much worse with 16" rear et streets. The 17's aren't so bad but I would still be careful.

Hope to hit 10's with higher launch. Clutch is going in the car within the next week and 6pt roll bar will be going in sometime in January.

Nice run. Yeah, I agree that this is a 10 sec car easy. 0-101 in just over 7 seconds is cooking for sure.
Are you going with an LS7 clutch? How are street manners? Probably pretty good with 410s.

my 07 comes factory with the LS7 clutch....i am going with the Mcleod Twin Street with Aluminum flywheel...street manners are actually damn good with all my mods...tune is awesome from LG...only problem i have is going on highway and people going too damn slow when i am in 6th gear...if i get too low rpm in 6th it starts surging a bit...throw it in 5th and i am good...
