E-Tec 1/4 times(finally)
 

Well, I finally got my Monte up to the almighty Wisconsin International Raceway today. To sum up the few runs I had, the only word that comes to mind is wow. Todays runs were done on my BFG radial TA tires, with a high humidity(sweat pouring, and I mean pouring in my eyes) 90* day. I went into today hoping for a solid 13.5 run on total street meats. To my surprise, my first run netted me a 12.907 @ 106.294. Holy crap I say, I almost pissed myself. I figured that may be about it, because it felt like a solid run, and that was way better than I expected. Run 2, it seemed to feel a little better, 12.729 @ 107.061. Good lord! NO WAY run 3 can top that. Run 3, 12.593 @ 107.758 I am in disbelief. Run 4, 12.522 @ 107.773. All I got was 4 runs(sucks), but I have hit a major wall in power. I go through the traps at 6200 RPMs, and the motor has totally flattened out by then. I gained over 4 tenths throughout the runs, and just a shade over ! ! 1 mph,and that doesnt compute. From those of you that checked out my dyno posts, remember I discovered on the dyno that the motor pukes over 5700? That is totally not noticable until you hit the 1/4 mile. While I dont really (think) that the stiffer valve springs I need are going to help my ET very much, I think there is no doubt a few MPH left in this thing. I'll keep you all updated, but all I have to say is that I am very happy with my first time out with the car. I plan to run later this month when it cools off and I have my valve springs changed. Wish me luck http://web.camaross.com/bb/smile.gif

Excellent times. What kind of tires was this on? 60 ft times?

Congrats!

Thanks, the runs were done on my 265-50-15 BFG radial T/A's. My best 60' of the runs was a 1.9.

The ET is very impressive man!! No doubt you'll find more power once the combo is figured out. goodluck!

NICE! http://web.camaross.com/bb/eek.gif

get some taller tires and you will be able to trap higher without trapping at too high of an rpm (if thats an issue for ya)

mid 12's is NICE

I know a guy with an Etech 350 in a first gen camaro, I've been trying to get a run in against him to see how those things go.
now i'm scared http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif

Thanks guys,I wanna try to putz with it a little, and make some more runs with it before the tracks all close around here. I'll have my slips scanned shortly, so you all can see them for real.
