Hey guys, Its been a while since I have posted a kill here, not for a lack of racing but for a lack of interesting races.
This just happened 20 minutes ago. Me and my girl are on the way to her house and I see a sweet Chevelle coming up behind me. He stops in the lane next to me and its got a very nice rumble and lope to it. It was bright orange with black stripes. My girls jaw drops and she exhales "OOOHHH...nice". I said yeah its definitely well kept but the rear tires arent wide enough for its weight, I bet I could smoke it. At least from a launch on my Nittos.
We follow eachother through traffic for about 8 miles untill it opens a little, we were both in third and punched it. Suprising to me, I was actualy gaining a little. We finaly hit a light together so I leaned over to tell him he had a very nice car and asked him about his motor. He said it was a stock 454 and didnt ask anything about my motor. I said sweet and when the light turned green I waited for him to hit it and launched.
It seems that the more tread I burn off of these tires the better they hook up. There isnt much tread left and when I hit second I just chirped where I would usualy spin on regular radials. At this point I was a full car ahead and gaining ground. We ran a little into 4th with me ahead by a good 2 cars. I was ******* stoked and when we hit the next light he started askin questions about my motor. I told him what I had and he shook his head yes right when the light turned green and I smoked him again. He just passed me with a thumbs up and went on his way
On a side note I also raced my friends 5spd LX. Its got the AC delete, pulleys, mac cold air kit, dynomax exh, and 355's. He ran a 14.4 stock. I beat him by over a carlength because of my launch. I pulled a little in 2nd but 3rd and 4th were dead even, I didnt pull and he didnt gain. My car also weighs a hell of a lot more especialy with him ditching his AC and me with a spkr box in my trunk.
I installed my 190lph pump yesterday. I think it helped me a little up high and the whole rpm band is smoother now. My old pump motor was HOT and brown. It was about to go on me. My car was getting harder to start and I think thats what was making me detonate before. I knew I was losing fuel up high.
