Going for 11's last night, close, but new personal best anyway.
Last night was a ton of fun... dry air in the low 60's and a nicely prepped track at VMP. I was shooting for 11's on street tires, but I didn't quite make it. However...
I was running on Kumho Ecsta MX steret tires (my VIR rear wheels/tires) @ 25 psi rear and 40 psi front. Did a burnout until I could see smoke then launched anywhere from 2500 to 3000 rpms w/ a little clutch slip and a semi-granny shift into 2nd gear to prevent excess wheel hop.
My most fun race of the night was against a pullied down '03 cobra. I've met the guy a few tiems before at the strip, but he was alway stock and running low 13's. I asked him if he'd finally gotten smart and pullied the car. He had and was maknig 450 at the wheels and running on DR's. I can't find the time slip... ****.
oh well, I tree'd him w/ a .052 rt to his .1xx but he ran a 1.90 60' to my 1.97 so we were dead even. Then we were basicaly side by side screamin' the whole way down the track, we kept on looking over at each other, dead even. I pulled about 1/2 a car by the end and won the race. It was a 12.25 @ 116.xx to his 12.31 @ 114.xx. He loved it... said it was the best drag he'd had and was going home.
FYI my mods are a vortex w/ air bridge, Kooks 1 3/4ths LT headers w/ cats, and stingers. Dyno'd at 371/374 rwhp/rwtq untuned.
Man I want an 11 sec slip
Very good power. You had a real good night last night. Try bringing the Kumhos down to 22 and bring the fronts up to 44. Or....315/30/18 BFG Drags will do it also.
Friend of mine has an 02 Z06 with Dynamax headers/R/T cats/ vortec w/airbridge, never had it dyno'd. He did an 11.75@117 in lousy DA and temp at our recent Drag Day last month. He has the BFG Drags on. Try it...you'll like it!!
