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.

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.

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.

maybe. The hp curve is flat from 5800-6600 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.

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.
