First time out with the new setup
 

Just got in...but I made my goal of 11's and pretty much my goal of trapping 120mph all in the first pass. 11.98@119.4mph. Gotta work on the launch still(no spin, just lots of bog).

that's a solid start man, making it into the 11's has to be an awesome feeling. launches can be a pain with a stick car.. there's no doubt that you'll pick up easily two tenths when you find the sweet spot. 119.4 is no joke.

i just watched the vid in the other thread. good job man!

I almost had you mannnn.


LOL

what rpm you launchin at?

oh and sweet **** btw!

You never had your car!

He didn't listen and went all panzy like. 8-)

nice job vinnie! first pass out and you reach your goal not bad at all 8-)
good luck

Yea. That pass I didn't think was going to be an 11 second pass at all. The 60' sucked and matt(LTslow) was pretty far ahead of me because of r/t. That excitement quickly ended when I got to the pits and had to wait another 2 hours to get a pass.

Yea sucka!

I should have sprayed and ruined your day. :mrgreen:

Did you get any other runs in? Never a bad feeling to hit a goal the first time out.

I got one other run in. Better 60' and 1/8. I trapped over 1 mph faster in the 1/8th and then missed 4th gear. Would have been a faster pass and I would have solidly trapped 120...maybe even cracked 121. Oh well...next week I should be out there.

word. I hope next week provides more runs with less downtime. I'll probably be there next Sat with a fellow etown bracket racer.

Congrats on the new best pass. sounds good

damn 120/121, thats flyin!

Congrats Vin, next week will be even better!:nod:

good runs, now drop the Kmember, put ARP rod bolts in, up the limiter and take the cam where you know it wants to go. i spin my LT1 as high as you

maybe. The hp curve is flat from 5800-6600:nod: Torque starts falling off at a descent rate by 6400. My motor is an 02 and came with the "best" bottom end of the 4th gen ls1 era. People have spun a purely stock bottom end like my car has( 01-02 ls1) to over 7K and they usually hold up. ARP bolts are probably a must with the way I like to drive though. A little more seat time and fix a few little bugs, then ARP bolts and start spraying it.

What kind of tires are those 10.5 QTPs?

how would you know its not flat farther then that? you have the limiter at 6700

very true, but I'm satisfied with how it's running right now. If I start getting discouraged with the Et's it puts up, then I'll look into it. To trap almost 120 in a pretty much full weight car first time out is good enough for me right now. Btw, on the second run, I took your advice and shifted above what the shift light was set at so I was probably shifting at about 6500, and the mph in the 1/8th went up 1.4 mph to a flat 95 mph. And on the first run my car picked up 27mph on the back stretch, so I think a 121 trap speed is do-able.

damn i wish i was able to get out there

I know most of us plan on being there next sunday

ill be in dc next weekend

Congrats. I need a cam now! Sundays are a work day for me damn
