Saturday night was aweful. I only made one run all night long. Since I saw the tech people actually kicking people out for no cages if they ran quicker than 12s i decided to only make an 1/8 mile pass... too bad i didn't even make it that far.
My 60' was a 1.64 which is my best yet but there is still room for improvement since I didn't floor it off the line and I only have a 2500 stall. Then before I even go to the 1/8 mile markers the damn blower belt ripped in half (making it a 3 rib belt instead of an 8) and in the process ripped all the wires coming out of the MSD box which killed my engine immediately. The 1/8 mile time was still a 7.2 @ 82 mph and I coasted to a 13.66.
I rewired the box and drove it without the charger to diamond springs to have it tuned... wonder how well it'll run then. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
finally got home at 5am, long day.
I would have been more impressed with the white camaro if he was actually able to turn on the hassards without screwing up his whole run in the process.

Tell me about it. I didn't have a 5-point harness so I alsmot got he boot. Luckily she was cool and knew who I was and told me I drove the car good so it was ok for the night.
But now I have to get a harness and who knows what else to be legal for 10's. I just got the jacket,cage, and driveshaft loop done. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

10.00-10.99 aftermarket rear axles (not mandatory in 11.00-11.99)
* Full Bodied Cars- Any full bodied cars with an unaltered firewall, floor or body, may substitute a ROLL BAR in place of a cage (10.99-10.00)
*Protective Clothing
11.99-10.00 (Unblown)
Jacket-Meeting SFI Spec 3.2A/1 Mandatory
*10.00-10.99 Harmonic Balance (SFI 18-1)
otherwise, I think the driveshaft loop, battery tie down, helmet, jacket and whatnot go without saying.
saw some references to an SFI flexplate as well, might want to check it out.

DOH!!! Didn't think about that one.
I wonder if I run 11's N/A most of the time and only hit 10's occationally if they will notice? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Thx for the link bro.

you will need a rear end eventually so there are your aftermarket axles right there.

True, but I wanna be the first LS1 around here to be in the 10's with a stock rear for awhile. Nobody else has have they? Oops, I think GREATWHITE is but he has only run 2 10's.

and eventually mid 10s with my crappy ass out of the box unported heads.
then it's time for TEA CNC ported tfs heads, new cam, and new headers. Low 10s? Maybe more? Maybe not.
That was on my Quick Time Pros, the drag radials are already balding so I'm gonna cruise around on the slicks for a while.

I never said you wont go 10.2s with out of the box TFS heads on it.
But put some TEA TFS heads and the proper cam and watch the 9s look at you.
But your car is still ugly so not much you can do about that one ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
I like Chris, he is a nice guy.

I'm just pointing out that the car is performing exactly how I hoped it would and I'm very happy about that. I'm also very happy about how much more room for improvement there is without taking away any of the streetability of the car.
The uglyness is half the charm, plus who are you to talk about ugly... Captain Pace Car
