Matt, I just might do that, I need some cooler temps and maybe run better than a 10.80 at 131 MPH, It felt soo good to hit the 10's I'm never going back, Good luck I'm sure you and Dan will find out what is going on with your boost, When your boost hits the 10 lbs as it should be you will be where you want,Your car still looked awsome as it ran off the line it looked just like Vic's car and that is a good thing, Both of your cars win off the line hands down, Have a good night and good to meet everyone today.

Did anyone notice the variation in trap speed for the 1/8 and 1/4 between the 2 lanes. I saw some "unusual" trap speeds for the 1/4 times recorded. My last run was in the right lane and the 1/8 was 4mph slower but my 1/4 time was the fastest as was the trap speed.

Sounds like you guys had a GREAT time, Weather was terrific for it.
VIC....Congrats on your "in the 10s" times, and on street tires!
Your car kills, my friend! 
I'm still just tryin' to get into the 11s!

Yea that was me. My Excedy Single Disc does not hold the power when I up the boost - especially at the track with the VHT prep. It just slips badly.
On the run above with the red ZR1, I had a passenger and started out slowly like leaving a traffic light normally. When I got up to about 25 MPH, I rolled into the throttle throughout first and second gear – taking it easy on the clutch. I was able to give more throttle in 3rd and 4th – resulting in the 12.3 @ 123. lol
Does anybody have some input on a different clutch I should try? Past experiences with them etc…? What would you recommend? I’m not too happy with the Excedy. Mostly street driven with about 3 trips to the track in a year. Thanks…

Best run so far...
To answer you question, earlier in the year on low boost (6psi) with 93 octane, I ran:
R/T: .391
60’: 1.997
330: 5.068
1/8: 7.545 @ 102.55 MPH
1000: 9.663
1/4: 11.425 @ 127.50 MPH
My best MPH that day was 128.69.
Also, my car is set up for road course, lowered, T1 suspension components, etc… Not exactly ideal for the 1320.
I had a fun time. Can’t wait until next time! The way back home was a blast as well!

I never caught his run
my best for the day was a 10.94 with a 1.59 60ft!! RT of .110
125.8 mph trap speed.
I think I will bite the bullet and pick up a Drag pac over the winter,
I cant belive that I can hook that good with street tires!! Hell maybe I WILL JUST KEEP THEM?
I hope to get one more time out this year before the season ends
Change your tires Keith so you can get a 10 sec run down this year
Matt is right there 11.0x and soon to be in the 10's also

Unfortunately I didn’t. I loved the way my little ol’ 346 pulled your 427 starting out in 3rd from a 60 roll. I felt a little better after that since I did so $h_tty at the track. lol!
