What did you guys run??

 

Working on getting the slips up online for some constructive criticism (hopefully constructive), not 100% needed since i did blow big donkey dick...


Steve

 

LOL

 

hahah i'm not too upset the day after, i don't think i ever claimed myself as the second coming of christ on a drag strip lol. However, right now i would have loved that to have come true hahahaha.

 

I guess I'll let the cat out of the bag

best of the night for me was 11.61 @ 126.78 with a 1.96 60' on my last run with everything iced down to the max. I'm not good at launching my car and I'll be the first to admit that, but I'm pretty good once it gets rollin. My problem is that I just ride out the clutch for about 20' before its fully engaged (I know, I know...). I'm on stock clutch too. I'm sure the car loves that hahaha. I really need to practice launching... but thats not really what the car is built for, so I rarely do or see the need.

First run was more realistic for me of what it would trap when its hot - 118 mph

Maybe I'll start saving for a twin screw so it can run like it did on the last run on the street.

 

That's damn good!

 

thanks Denny! not bad for a pullied eaton eh?

I was really really caught off guard by the evo though. He ran an 11.9 @ 115, and he cut a .3 r/t to my .7 r/t. Bastard just pulled up real quick and staged just as I was spinning out of the burnout box to pull up to stage.. so I figured I'd go when I was ready and reel him in just after the 1/8th. boy was I wrong lol. He ended up being .0372 ahead of me in the end. Taught me a lesson

 

No - nice times! I came from Mustangs/Cobras...last one was a 98 Cobra vert, but I never had the coveted 03-04...it's still on my wish list of cars though.

 

Was this the grey MR with gold wheels that no one seems to know?

 

Wow, thats mean. Just out of curiosity, how much have you spent in performance mods?

 

how about the vintage grand prix??? they have a car show on sat before the races on sun. it's going to cost a little ($20 maybe) but it goes to autism society of pgh.

 

I have a lot of stuff on the car that will be good for another 200whp and it could have been done for much less, so my car isn't the best example for that haha.

upper pulley, lower pulley, ported s/c bigger throttle body, intake, catted midpipe, catback, bigger IC reservoir, bigger coolant reservoir, bigger heat exchanger (intercooler), mass air extender (to keep it from pegging), 60# injectors, KB boost-a-pump & conservative 93 octane tune. I think thats it for the car as far as power goes. The car has pretty much all of the supporting mods going. It put down 520rwhp in cool weather, but I think thats on the high side.

Woulda been cheaper to buy just a used twin screw (KB or whipple) and just intake, exhaust & tune. Thats what a friend did & he put down a heat soaked 560rwhp in his car.

 

Very nice man, those mph are good for some low low 11's. Get your hands on some tires and watch that E.T. drop fast.

That 126 isnt a fluke if it was able to pull it , it should be able to be repeated.

I would say the 118 is a little low and probably not a true indicator of the cars true HP potential. Very nice none the less on the stock blower . Though I have seen ported and pullied ones running in the mid to upper 120's with ease

 

Thanks Dan, my car is ported, but I've got just a little bit of belt slip thats tryin to keep me down

on the first pass I shifted really easy but still pretty quick up until fourth where I coasted for a while before I decided to run 4th gear. I didn't have a helmet on and I didn't want to get yelled at lol, I doubt I'd have seen anything over 120-121 if I didn't. on my 126mph pass the car was so iced down it would have been entirely impractical on the street. fluid was real hot right after the run, so if I hot lapped it, I'd have been right back to a low trap... time for a twin screw. I loved the way that pass felt!!

 

I f'kin hate FedEx!!!!!!!

How can 3 boxes be shipped from the same place, at the same time...make it to Grove City at the distribution center at the same time, and then only one of the boxes make it to my house today???

Of course the one box that made it was NOT the one with my turbo in it

OK, done with my little rant!

I did get my "overnight parts from Japan" JDM steering knuckles so I can get the Evo brakes installed

I guess it's time to start takin' this **** seriously and get my *** out to the garage
