Bolt On new Best

Went to the local 8th mile track and ran a new best. Off the street it only went 8.8 but byt 8:30 it went 8.602@81.166 w/1.949. I will update with the DA after I go look it up.
Mods are: Gutted Cats, Aerochamber muffler, B&M Shifter, Moroso CAI, MADZ28 OBDI tune, Sway bar removed, skinnies, and the MT DRs.
I started the launch at 3500 and by the end of the nite I was up to 5000 RPM dump!
The MT DRs are cool! 20psi and dead hooked each time. I am sure the stock style clutch hates me now but that's fine!!

How much does your car weigh?

I have not been to a track with open scales. But the only thing removed is the tire/jack, front sway bar, and the windshield washer resevoir, oh and the cruise control box.

It's a leather T-top car, I had the rear seats in it along with the passenger and all the floor mats (heavy rubber ones).

I have not started on the weight reduction yet!! And the freebe stuff is not done, Coolant still goes thru the TB. I did put a breather on the valve cover but that's it...

Nice times. Shon did you sell your other car? I thought you had a h/c/nx LT1?

yeah, I made a really bad decision and sold my PPM car. I kick my own butt everyday for that decision. But I am back into BO car that will be quicker than the PPM car....
