Hoosier Quick Time Pro 27-10.5x15 no tubes, rim screws on Centerline Telstar 7x15. Front are Pep Boys VW Bug tires on Telstar 4x15 rims. Had 27-11.5x15 QTP's on the back and they stuck out 1" , gave the same traction but slowed the car by 2-3 mph. I swithchd the front from Moroso racing tires to the pep boys in order to meet the "dot" requirements for Street Class. I didn't see any changes from the front tire switch since the tire diameters were the same. I also deep stage so front tire changes have almost no impact on rollout.

Wow, I forgot about those pictures. I think that was in 2006. Looks like I was a tad late on that one light, well a lot late. :(

What kinda engine setup are you running?

LT1, 383 stroker, 4 bolt mains, crowler forged crank and rods. Rapidmotors stage 2 heads, Joe Overton cam. Installed dished pistons on last rebuild to run pump gas. Lost about 25-30 hp over previous engine due to the pistons. I think it now has 10:1 compression and runs nicely on WAWA 93 octane fuel. Ported intake, bigger injectors, fuel pump, etc. Turbo 400 auto with reverse manual valve body, moser 12 bolt spool, 31spline axles, 411 gears. Bracket tune (LT1 edit on the rich side). Hooker headers, moroso oil pan, underdirve pully and of course kept the opti spark.

Nice, I guess you don't spin it high if you kept the stock PCM and opti?

I can take it to 7000rmp when necessary. I usually shift it at 5500 for bracket racing. The car wasn't raced last season and most likley won't be used this year either. When it is used I usually double enter and run every weekend. That accounts for the 400 passes per season.

Well nothing wrong, cause you're dialing 12.0,,,, (whopping the throttle at 1,000 feet!) :kneeslap:


I spin the DRs so bad I can't even put it under serious boost until I'm in 3rd gear. The one time I tries I broke the posi! My runs were leaving soft, 2.0+ 60s, and short shifting until 3rd gear, then mashing it! ETs were 12.4s and 124 and still putting hard thru the traps.

honestly, I think it's got a 10 ( high 10 ) at 127-128 MPH in it. Low 10's aren't going to happen until the blower gets upgraded. The goal is 10.0s in the 133-134 range so i don't need to do all the ET/speed equipement of going faster. It's just a street car you know. :angel:

you guys all run at atco or etown?

Mostly Numida (I live exactly 1 mile from the track, and work there) or maple grove. Years ago when I lived in Langhorn I raced at E-town allot, but not recently, that's about a 150 miles away from home. Haven't raced at Acto in probably 8-10 years.

I'm running street at Raceway and Maple Grove. Don't plan to make Atco this year. I haven't been back to Atco since last March when the little pony made it to the winners circle. May 31st will be decision day on where to finish the season. Depends on where I'm at in the points race. I will be running my mustang again this season because it's a bit cheaper to race. I will most likely loose my job by the end of this year. Can you guess for which major pharmaceutical company I work for? If you guessed Pfizer you guess wrong. Bradenton 2010?

John, whomping the gas at 1000' shaves a lot of mph but not ET. Need the brake pedel to do that. I'm to the point where I can hold and shave 1.5 in the Formula and .10 in the Mustang. God willing my knees will be fully working this year. :) I was going to borrow a box and run Super Pro in the bird off the button. Will have to see how I footbrake.

im gonna run a good amount of gamblers races at atco this year try and win some and just have fun. not lookin to go every week

I wasn't going to give out any secrets. :oops:

I'm undecided what I will run this year, Probably not points, I want to build something with an auto and maybe run pro. Problem is that the top guys at Numidia are so consistent you can't afford to miss many weekends, I'm guaranteed to miss at least 5 weekends due to attending NHRA events and others such as superchevy, Our Nat's

Numidia does have “Friday night Street legal drags”, it has a payout and you can run points in the classes as well. I'm thinking of doing that, and it should be less rounds , and less need to compete every weekend. If I start running consistent I'll just into some of the weekend footbrake money races.

I'll see what happens when the car gets back together, and how long it takes to get it and the driver dialed-in!

Does look like Maple Grove is having some type of Street Wars event happening once a month on Saturdays. I want to get details and look into that. MG is about 60-70 miles from me, just sucks towing up and down the mountains!

That was Father's Day 2006, at the F-Body Clash.

Bahahahhaha... you got me lmao....

Yeah yeah yeah... I hear ya on the "student" loan. Normal I get $2K to put into the car. But The Carol has cut my budget citing the "econ no me, econ no you". I'm putting in an appeal to Obama for some bailout money for the car, because unlike the banks, I'll spend it!!! Suspension, gears, front wheel skinnies, chrom-molly K member, loom-in-um drive shaft.... but I'll still be aways from 10s. And from what I see of you guys, I'm not inclined to go faster only to break parts faster!!! bahahahahhahaha

All you need is juiiiiceeeeee

so i think im goin to convert my lt1 to coil packs using the LTCC computer. what you think?

Why?

You still maintain opti.
Expensive way to do things.

but u only use it for the crank trigger

And? The opti is still there.

but it gets rid of the electrical job of the opti no? bad idea? im lookin for a way to reliably make 650whp and n2o and spin 6800rpm without a problem is my best bet stickin with the opti?

The optical sensor is still used, which between the two parts is probably the more reliable but still opti. Have you considered running a megasquirt or FAST setup?

ive considered a ton of things but most are hard on the wallet im 19 workin 71hrs a week to fund this build im tryin not to add to it. how would the fast set up work?

Well I would beef up the rotor by ditching the rivets or get the LTCC setup. And then not spin it that high. Why 6800?
