blew away my goal for the year last night at the first trip to the track...

Goals for the end of this season were:

1. 3300lbs raceweight (with me in it)
2. 12.99 et
3. a 1.75 60ft

first pass of the year right out of the gate i ran a 12.77 @ 105mph ran 6 runs and my best was 12.73 @106mph

the weather was ok but had a lot of moisture in the air... i still got prostars to throw on and a aluminum driveshaft

maybe a 12.5 by the end of the year? who knows this is insane!

 

Congratulations thats pretty good. I remember how happy I was when I reached my first goal getting in the 13's lol. Then I was like might as well try for 12's and thats it no more. Well after some modding got in the 12's and was thrilled well now I want high 10's i figured I'd skip 11's. It wont be until next yr though currently deployed but at least it gives me a chance to save up for it. I want to do it on completely stock long block with nitrous. I guess we shall see what happens. Good job on your goal though!!!!

 

Way to go Tony. Nice when the money spent pays off, isn't it.

did you do this with no stall?
what was your best 60' time?

oh yea and did i mention i still got a ls1 driveshaft to install? hehehe

thx guys for all the props ihope u all have great years

 

Good job, now get busy shedding some more weight!

 

thats this winter's project

 

pick up a ewp, 1.6rrs, 52mm tb, and go for bottom 12's.

 

all in time my good sir. im broke after this year's mods lol

 

Is there any proven gain by switching to an electric water pump? If so I'm getting off my wallet!

 

Yep. about a tenth and 1mph.

 

Sorry for the hi-jack but I never thought there was that much there. I'll take that tenth...

 

Kinda funny you brought that up Tom, I was wondering the same thing.

I've had a whole slew of fbodies, and have yet to purchase an EWP. Definitely food for thought.

BTW, good job getting in the 12's already, you beat me to it!

 

Tony, It's all in the transmission See, we don't even get any credit in your sig.???
