Thumbs up 12.09@110.32....

Made a total of 3 runs.

12.15@110.34
12.14@110.15
12.09@110.32

I love this time of year, now I'm starting to see the payoffs of the minor changes I did at the start of the year.
The car ran a 12.20@109.5 in March.
This is what I done.
Changed the exhaust setup with some Hooker LT's and dual Exhuast (Had Macs & FlowMaster). Added a 6-Point Cage (for safety), Draglites (all around) with some Hoosiers 26x10x15 in the back (Had some ET Streets).

I'm sure once the really really good air comes in the car will see that 11.99 just have to wait for it.

Videos soon to follow of the runs above.

very nice runs. Have you ran your car at Thunder Valley in OKC? If so what did you run there. I was wondering becuase i have heard that track is better than TIR. I have only run my car at TIR so i dont really have a comparison.

What are you shifting that thing at? What RPM are u leaving at and how much does the car weigh with you in it? My combo is close to yours but I have only been running in the Louisiana summer so haven't had any good air yet and my car is heavy 3850 lbs with me in it. I would be happy to run 12.20's in good air on motor. Good times though.

The last time I weighed the car it was 3550 with me in it.

Since than I added a 6-point cage but, I also lightend up the wheels from ZR1-style to Weld Draglites. Chances are I expect the car to be around 3450-3500 with me in it.

T/A lt1 - The shifting is right at 6350 1-2 shift and about the same on the 2-3 shift, maybe a little lower. I can't wait for the Thunder Shoot Out, hopefully we will have some good air than.

vhgjk123 - I have been down to Thunder Valley but not this year, I'm planning on going when the TnT is on Sunday's. I think it's later in November.

95Bird - This is the only chance I have against you right now. Is when you might miss a shift.

Shon Herron - I hope to be there in the 11's

Did you convert to OBDII? From the vids it sounds like you stall it up some, or did you find a 'cure' or reprogram, or what?

If there is a cure other than OBDII, I hope I am happy with the TH350, if not, the A4 might have to come back....

Thumbs up

Good job, Ken. Car is sounding GOOD with that exhaust.. Who did that for you? That shop by Car Analysis??

Looks like you almost got some air off your launches

11's should just be some good weather away.. once the humidity goes down and the temps drop to the 40's/50's at night.

EDIT: What are your 60ft. times now?

Ken, does your track go down hill? It sure looks like it... If that is the case, then all runs above are null and void till you can do it on a track that goes up hill...

Shon Herron - PCMFORLESS Programming, what can I say. Seems like he had the cure for mine. Yup, I stalled it up to about 2200-2400.

Mineral - The exhaust was purchased from Dr. Gas and installed at a real good muffler shop. 60' times are in the 1.6's 1.67-1.69.

a_z28_vance - actually the track goes up hill just a little, but for the most part its flat. I will be running at the No Problem Raceway in Nov, I wonder if that is uphill?
