Thanks guys, I'm really happy with those numbers, it was more than I was expecting. I was hoping to hit 120 and maybe dip into the high 11's.

I guess that shows that the 2 1/2" Corsa mufflers don't hurt too bad. The Nitto's worked great and they have 4,000 miles on them.

This wan't my first time to the track, just the first time with this combination. As Paul noted, it's considerably better than my 434 that ran a 12.0 at 114.

congrats again Scott. Kinda backs up your thoughts that this combo just keeps pulling.................. :yes:

What RPM were you launching at? Do you have a lower rev limiter that you use on the line?

XcYZ 10-18-2008 08:43 PM

I was leaving at about 3500 with a quick clutch release, shifting at about 6800. The Nitto DR's really like heat, I was doing long burnouts. I'm really impressed with how well a 30 series DR can hook. Going into today, I wasn't sure if I would be able to do a sub 2 second sixty.

No rev limiter on the line.

What track did you go to Scott? The one over toward Eau Claire? Brainerd? (long trip)?

At Great Lakes Dragaway when you did the commercial, did you notice it feels like you are going uphill when you are at the line? I ran my car there when it still had the big block in it and I felt like I would have rolled backward out of the beams without the line loc. I had a MSD 2 step in the car at the time and launched with the 5k chip in it. (11.90 @ 118) If I would have had to concentrate on launch RPM, feeling like I was going to roll backwards, and the tree, I would have screwed something up.

Good numbers! I can't wait to have mine back together with the LS power to see what it'll do. Should be somewhere in the mid 11's like you I imagine.

Jeff, I was at Cedar Falls, IA. It was the track that was scheduled as part of the Power Tour, but was flooded out. They've been runing the 1/8th, but just recently opened it back up to 1/4 mile.

When I was at Union Grove, I didn't notice the car rolling, but I wasn't doing the normal deal there, either. I was staging at the tree for good TV. lol The good thing about being at Union Grove in July was that I learned what the car wanted for a decent launch.
