Default CF! Biggest loser competition who will drop most ET this year?

HELLO CABIN FEVER BABY!!!!! So just came up with a brilliant idear here. Put your previous best ET and then we are gonna see who dropped the most ET or gained the most RWHP/RWTQ. We'll have check in's as you go to the track to see your progress. You can take video, pictures and show the cars progress. This could atleast be a minor cure of the Fever for atleast a little bit. Maybe some people already have a progress report???

For me:
2008 C6Z06
weighs in at 3160lbs w/o me as she comes from the showroom w/ 5/8tank of gas.
Baseline HP to be determined in the next month or so hoping for 460rwhp+++
Horrible ET of 11.83 at 123mph (excuse alternator took a crap showing lots of KR killing the power)
My fitclub goal is 10.97 at 127mph
With a weight of 3130lbs lower on fuel, drag radials instead of run craps and take out the floor mats and maybe run lower on windshield washer fluid

That would a .86 ET improvement. We'll see how she does!

If I go I think I can beat my best 1/4 ET and mph. LOL

Anyway I only made 2 passes, first one it blistered the tires and the 2nd one I launched it easy bogged to a 1.83 60' LOL and ran a smoking 11.55 @ 121. DA was 2800' 91 degrees and 29.80 baro, and the track temps were announced 154 degrees. With that said I think I'm tired of racing this heap of **** car, something f'ucking breaks every damn time out now. Guess I could have ran a .20 or so had I got one more pass but the car decided to break again. Woot! Enjoy your racing boys I'm done!

total breakdown:

1.833 60'
5.015 330'
7.555 660'
95.17 mph
9.722 1000'
11.558 1320'
121.05 mph

All in all I was 3 tenths off my normal 60', the rest goes down hill from there. Lets just say on a bad day my 330' is in the 4.6's.
Guess if you do the normal 1/8th x 1.555 which seems to be close it shows how ****ty my first 1/8th mile was. Best 1/8th before was 7.02 @ 99.xx w/ 1.5x 60' on the old setup that made less power. Going to get the tune touched up and see if my power picked back up and give it another whirl eventually.

11.201!!! Just 10.9s? I think I can do a lot better than that. Bench racing that is. After I put the new motor in the car feels a lot stronger than it used to. Must just be all the extra torque.

Maybe I'll just boost it start planning on a 9 sec pass. Bench racing that is.

I was very tempted to run at the MIR Smackdown but my clutch was out of balance after the rebuild. I'll get it out there this year at a track rental.

She can't drop much unless she can make a trip to MIR in the fall. I was in 50 degree air that night I ran a 10.6. I went back in 60 degree air another day, and ran a 10.7, 10.8, then my clutch took a dump. Then ran a 10.9 & 10.9 trying to snap off the shifter. Couldn't get her in 2nd gear without 2 try's. Loaded it up and left !

Black Brick is going to the track Sunday but it is supposed to be 78 degrees here. I will be lucky to hit some low 11's ! When I don't hit TENS again this year...I WIN, I am the biggest loser !!!

I'm only looking to drop ~.2 off my best complete pass of 11.17, but my avatar will be a whole second faster!
