Default C3 drag radial progress

I know this is primarily a late model area, but I was proud of my little pumpgas smallblock this weekend and thought I would post my progress. I ran my best time ever in one of our local Mean Street races. This is 1/8th mile racing. It was very hot and humid here in the south with a density altitude of 2500ft. Little vette ran a 5.54 @ 128.5 with a 1.29 60ft. This is a pump gas streetable combo, but running nitrous at the track and 112 octane gas. Tires are limited to 275/60-15 drag radials. FAST XFI fuel injected. I went to the semi finals for the first time!

While there are a bunch of us with late model vettes, please don't be shy about posting your experiences at the track.

Congrats on your success. That's hauling for 1/8 mile.

How do you like the XFI set-up?

The XFI with the new 2.0 update is awesome! Every thing you need for nitrous control and boost control is built in. Plus the datalogger!

This is the Corvette Drag Racing section, not the 'C5/C6 only' Corvette Drag Racing section, though it does sometimes appear that way LOL.
