Went out to the track again last night (Friday) and made a few passes. Here is my first pass:

7:33 PM

Reaction: .9135 (not focusing on the tree obvisously)

60ft: 1.6665

330ft: 4.8017

1/8 ET: 7.3800

1/8 MPH: 96.38

1/4 ET: 11.3759

1/4 MPH: 124.97




That pass felt great. I knew it was better than a 11.49 (last best). I was really excited.




Second pass. 8:32 pm

Reaction: .4127 (again...not focusing on the tree obvisously)

60ft: 1.6671

330ft: 4.8040

1/8 ET: 7.3834

1/8 MPH: 96.98

1/4 ET: 11.3731

1/4 MPH: 125.07

I had two other passes that are close to these numbers but not really worth posting because on one I hit third gear and the tires brok loose and I let out for a second and then got back into it.

Anyhoo... the Density Altitude was: 2778 feet and the Relative Density: 92.12 % so I believe the car still has a LOT in it and im so damn excited about the cold weather getting here in Nov-Dec!

Tell me what you guys think!!!


Here is the video. Here that bog at that launch!!! HAHAH 10's on motor soon!!!

I think you have close to a ten second car there if you can get the sixty foot a little lower and wait on cold air !!! Nice going !

Thanks, man! Everytime I go out now I focus more and more on my launch and shifting. I actually shifted a little earlier in the RPMs like you guys suggested and it paid off by over a .10th of a second. My buddies are wanting me to go ahead and spray it into the 10's but I refuse. I want it to run 10's on motor and then spray it.

 

nice going...what kind of launch were you doin this time out

 

Nice numbers, getting close to that magic number..


Ernie

 

Still launching about 4500-5000. It comes out of the hole and all I can do is hang on. It felt great. Im still working the 60fts down so I can pull a 1.5?.

 

Thanks, man! Im getting there. Im hoping the magic numbers will appear this winter.

 

Have you guys tried to throw a bag of ice on the intake inbetween runs to lower the IATs? I used to do that on my KB Cobra and it helped a ton. Just wondering if the LS guys do it also and have any luck with it?

 

what a pass, great numbers. what tires r you running if i can ask

 

Very impressive results, especially in that air.

 

I use to use Ice packs on mine, not sure if it made any difference ...I normaly use fans to cool the car down, and tranny...

My goal, was to get the tranny down to 140, and the oil down to 150, by the time you do your burnout and stage the temps are back up.

Cooler temps will bring some good numbers, just try and let her cool down between runs...

great times , what H/C/I r u running if you dont mind me asking and also you have the mph to run 10's N/A i recently installed 4.10's and was worried about running out of gear what rpm's are you running through the traps at?

 

Thanks everyone! I get better with every trip so im hoping for 10's by the end of this year. If not... that will be my new years resolution! LOL

great mod list and awesome times considering it is not a huge cam, well i will be staying N/A so i should be ok, your car on the jug is gonna be crazy fast, 28'' tire or re gear to 3.90's. Be sure to post your other result when you hit the magic 10 slip!

 

JD, You might consider putting tr55's in right now. The Tr6's are for Nos, so i'm thinking you could pickup some HP by changing...

Worth a try...

Ernie

 

I will give it a try and see what happens. I will just have to put a tag on my tank that reads "DONT FORGET TO PUT TR6's BACK IN BEFORE U SPRAY!!!" LOL Thanks, man.

 

 

Very nice times!!!

Congrats!

 

Thanks, man! Im still workin it!

 

Very nice times
