All right, 6 runs. 1st 3 against LS1's (prolly on street tires) and 2 against vintage Camaro's, 1 single run. 5 wins. On Nitto's (American Racer went flat waiting for tech.)
Run 1 Him .939 RT 2.276 60 ft 13.775 at 104.875 Me .730 2.092 12.868 at 110.154
Run 2 (hot lap) Him .824 2.213 13.248 at 108.903
Me .504 (where the hell did that come from?) 1.997 12.803 at 109.744
Run 3 Him .709 2.086 13.004 at 109.664
Me .850 1.779 12.424 at 110.699
Run 4 (mid 70's Camaro- ran 15's) Me .676 2.002 12.711 at 110.473
Run 5 (after clean up of oil slick in my lane) Him (beautiful '73 SS350 Camaro, 383stroker, purple/white stripes) .602 2.140 13.241 at 107.069
Me .680 2.312 (hooked, then spun, hit rev limiter) 13.147 at 109.767 (spun on the 3-4 shift)
Increased fuel pressure for last run, from 36 to 38 psi. Run 6 .634 2.055 (decided to power shift for mph) 12.845 at 109.925
Seems to like 36 better. If I can learn how to consistently slip the clutch on the launch I can hit 1.7 60ft's on the Nitto's. Ran them at 17psi w/ looong burnouts. Got to drive home in a group of LS1's. Mucho fun! Finally, Drew- hope you enjoyed your 24 hours w/ the belt!

Correction- Three days! Yeah, I don't think I will be building any strokers anytime soon. I want 12.0's then make the '65 the serious race car.

Sweet deal. Only 1 MPH/0.1 seconds from the cam thought? Maybe its too small for those heads? Do I hear a TFS Stage 2 coming on before you go custom? You can make it into a 4 part test... Stock... mild aftermarket, medium aftermarket and wild custom cam
As for a 12.0.... why not drain your washer fluid and make it a 11.999

1.55mph. ET will drop if I get new tires or learn to drive on the Nitto's... The car has the power to go low 1.7's if not a 1.6x 60 ft.
I hope to do a dyno tune soon and maybe find some more mph. Still haven't played w/ timing.
edit- 11.x means roll bar, not gonna do it. [ October 27, 2002, 01:46 AM: Message edited by: FasterDamnit ]

Thanks, guys! I want to send condolences to Brandon for breaking his newly installed rear end. Would have been a good race if we had lined up.

I'd say around ~0.5 mph and maybe 0.05 in ET.

Thanks, Dan. It's nice to see the lack of BS from the LS1 gang in their posts. Whatever happened to being mortal enemies? Oh- right, the smack talkin' ricers have given us a common foe... I like running faster cars- tend to shift faster trying to keep up. I suppose there are a lot of things I could do to run deep into the 11's, the heads are o-ringed and the pistons forged. I just can't see putting a cage in this car. Still ferry the kids around daily, even tho they now complain about how loud it is a 2000rpm. Guess that's why we have more than one fast car...

JL, I give prop's where their due. I have no hatred for Stang's, I used to own one . The ricer's are another story .
I know what ya mean about a cage and the rest of the safety equipment, I don't have it either and been procrastinating getting it cause this is my daily driver still. But, I'm not gonna slow down at the track, I will do the cage or they can keep booting me, That's really my choices...
