Anyone know his 1/8 mile times?
Was he using the nitrous progressively or staged or????
Looks like he was being careful if that was a 150 shot
I thought for sure that fucker would go 10s specially with that 60 ft.
bet it looked good
then again they say that vert top is a mofo on the big end.

Here is what the timeslip reads:
60ft......1.578
330ft.....4.776
660ft.....7.429
mph.......92.129
1000ft....0.00 (left lane timers broken)
1/4.......11.646
MPH.......117.303
I am very happy with my run. I am running a 3640lbs 'vert, with ALL STOCK suspension, box stock AFR 165's, shorty headers, 8.5" tire
and a out of the box NON CUSTOM cam ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) that I drove to Redding right after the race and got 21 mpg !!!!!
If I wanted to have an all out race car, I would put that motor in an '80 coupe we have.
Dan:
The car is setup with a 150 shot, non progressive, no multi stage retard, and the base timing set at 6 degrees. There is more in the combo, but it was a nice safe tune and run.
edit: bottle pressure was at 1100 psi
Later

Aaron,
While MPH is fun, and good for bragging rights, it doesn't win races !!!!
Take your pick, would you rather run a 12.2 @ 110 or a 12.9 @ 113? Think about it
Custom cams do work, but I'm not going to spend $300-$450 for a cam, sorry

Max for a custom cam is 325 from Ed. He's the most expensive. Mine was $295. What cracks me up is people act like this $150 difference is significant. I know damn well that if someone wanted say 20 more RWHP they'd spend the 150 to get it out of a bolt on. Especially when driveability can be better. So 300 isn't unreasonable. Especially when Comp XE cams are already $240 out of a Summit Catalogue. So now $60 is REALLY insignificant. If you spend the big money on nice heads, nice motor, etc, why short change yourself just say I spent 150 for a cam? It doesn't make sense. I never said MPH on it's own wins races. MPH gives you the potential to ET better. Looking at your timeslips I'd say the extra MPH helped you. No? All I'm sayin is a well designed cam can spec out smaller while giving better driveability and more power. Mike's car is a perfect example. It's hard to argue with the results people are getting.

Aaron,
I understand that a custom cam is the way to go for some, I am just not one of "them"
First off, the difference between my cam and a custom cam is not just $60. My cam installed in my short block from Keith Craft and was included in the price and if I had wanted a custom cam from them, it would have been an extra $250
Secondly, my off-the-shelf TFS Stage 2 cam has excellent street manners and driveability. So I am not in need of a custom cam to cure any of those problems
If you want a custom cam, go for it, it's your money, spend it however you want. It all boils down to "To each his own"
My car runs low/mid 12's on motor and sticky tires, high 12's on street tires and mid 11's (second time to the track) on the bottle, I drive it 500 miles a week and get over 20mpg. Let me know how your's does when you get it finished

Shit all I had to do was swap to a custom cam and and a few other small mods and gained so much it was unbelievable!! My best run with my old setup was a 12.23 at 114.8 and with the custom cam setup I averege 11.70's. Thats 5 tenths off my best ever with the old setup!! Thats not worth the 130 more I spent??!! Shit that isnt even taking the mph into account i am on average running 118-119, with a 119.8 best. That would most likely include a 120 if i did not have clutch issues for so long.
Brian you dont have to defend your combo you just have to realize there is so much more room to grow!

There is no doubt that the custom cam in your combo flat fuckin' RIPS !!!!
For some reason I am always on the defense when it comes to my combo. Yes, the heads are too small, shorty headers and killing it's potential, a custom cam would get me to the 11's on motor and 10's on the bottle
I thought about going longtubes, bigger heads, and maybe even a custom cam, but I just bought a house and the money is just not there right now ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Another thing is, 10.99 in a 'vert requires everything that a 9.99 in a coupe does. Full ROLLCAGE, sfi approved EVERYTHING, etc....
My car is fast, fun and I love it just the way it is !!!! 'NUFF SAID

Brian I can see where you are comming from, if you are happy with where you are speed wise, leave it alone. Thats all that is important. Shit I remember before I started all my mods and everything all i wanted was a low 13 second car!! Somehow I skipped the 13's went straight to the twelves, and then landed some how in the mid 11's. I will very shortly be somewhere in the 10's!!
This sport is worse than drugs, and some where you do have to draw the line. After mine gets back together the line will be drawn. I am going to be looking to buy a house, and with my new son being born things are getting tighter and tighter!! But its all good!

Brian that's cool and understandable. It was just the at custom cams that got me riled up a bit. As if people just waste their money on them. I just had to make it clear that they're not a waste and more than worth the little extra. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
