![]() A buddy of mine wanted to run his car last night, so we loaded up and took off. He has a rather stock 88 GT, with a E cam, ported E7's and ported lower intake. He is still running the stock 2.73 gear. He is also running a 150 shot. Anyway, we got there and got the ET streets on and he made a pass. 8.6@82mph. Not bad concidering that before last night he's been stuck in the 9.0-9.5 range.
Well, he makes it back to the lane and asks me to see what I can get. I cleaned the tires off a little and staged. I launched at about 3500, spraying off the line. The car stayed in first for atleast half track. She was trying to dance her way down the track, but I reined her in(pun intended). Hit second and she straighted up. I reached over and killed the spray, figuring that I was pretty much at the end of the track anyway, and powered through to the line. As soon as I hit the return road, my phone starts ringing. It was a buddy of mine in the stands watching. He was like, "Dude, did you see what 'my buddy that ownes the car' ran?" I said, " I just ran that. What was it?" 8.252@85.075mph No one was within 3 tenths of me all night. The car had a little more in it, but I didn't want to blow the thing up. I was really happy with that, but now I have to get mine to go 8.0 or better. Can't get beat by a car that I helped build and tune, ya know? Anyway, just wanted to post that. I knew I could drive, but 0.3 faster than the guy that drives it everyday, that's just funny. Later. |

![]() Great run.
![]() Personally, I'd feel kinda bad if my buddy was able to drive my car better than myself. ![]() Well, I guess, you don't really have to worry about his car being faster than you since you're a better driver.

![]() Always nice to squueze more outta a car. W/ ET streets I dont see why you couldnt launch a lot higher than 3500 w/ that car. Tell him to get some damn gears! I think thats a high 12 ET to me. I might expect some more mph w/ ported heads and a 150shot tho.
