Back to the track. AGAIN!

exgmguy · 09-15-2001, 06:54 PM

Temps were in the lower 70's i'd say, and the air was good.

I only had a couple hours to get some runs in while the wife was at work. (MAN I AM AN ADDICT!!!) I made only 3 passes The first was the feeling out the track, motor pass.

RUN 1 2 3
-------------------------------------------
60 ft 1.76 1.79 1.79
1/8 et 7.97 7.52 7.45
1/8 mph 87.66 96.02 96.97
1/4 et 12.53 11.68 11.56
1/4 mph 107.88 119.01 120.15

The track was not hhoking as well as last weekend. My best 60 ft last weekend was 1.65.
Unfortunately I think I need some real slicks, and a couple mph on my trap speed to ever hit a 10.

I met up with a bunch of guys from www.Camaroz28.com It was fun. One of the guys has an auto LS1 SS that was running 12.0-12.2 @ 114 on all motor!!!! His motor is internally untouched. Just the easy bolt on stuff, a converter, long tubes, X-pipe, and true duals dumped. Damn fast car!!

Damn, your cars running real good!
Thats one fast LS1!

So you lost 3 mph going to the ET Streets... Hmm... That makes me wonder what MPH my car would turn w/ street tires at the track... I'm gonna have to try next time.

cool, well i'll tell ya what, those auto ls1's with the race stalls can really move, i know a guy that lives down the street with an m6 going 12.3, but i beleive he has 3.73's cam and exhaust, and run on e.t. streets. and another guy with a t/a auto going mid 11's motor, but he has ls6 intake, stall and several other mods, heh, to bad his rear end just wont hold together.

exgmguy · 09-16-2001, 07:49 AM

Those LS1's really do move out. Every other one of them was trapping 105-109. Most were on Drag Radials going lower 13's. An Auto Firehawk was running mid 12's @ 108 on Drag Radials, and a sweet looking Sunset orange SS with a shot of spray was in the low 12's @ 113-114.

Sky, At this track I usually trap 109-110 on motor with street tires. Now I am down to 107-108. What is weird is that my 60 ft's are still around what they are on Drag Radials. I guess the 2 ply tire balloons alot when spinning and cuts down gearing. Actually sitting still there is about a 1/2 inch gap between my tire and the GT ground effect in the back. After running down the track I've just about worn the plastic totally through!!! But on a street tire i'd have to say you'd be about 110 mph. It's no fun spinning though!!!

Skyman · 09-16-2001, 04:12 PM

Yeah, sounds like the DR's are probably better for you right now. I'm surprized you couldn't get a better 60' outta those ET Streets.

Try the ET Drags, I used to have ET streets and they just didnt hook as well at all.

I've gotten a best of a 1.69 60' launching at 5500, and I have a shot trak-lok in my rear end too.

Last weekend the track was hooking a lot better. I have been launching at 5 grand and yaning the tires to a 1.65 60 ft. Now this weekend no wheelie, and a 1.79 60 ft withe same launch. My best run I left around 4 grand and still got the same 60 ft.

I've got to get it worked out by the 3rd week in October. We've got a car club race at a really nice track and I want to nail down some consistent low 11's.
