Any guesses on how much power my car is making? Took it to the strip last week and it ran a 13 flat at 114mph. It was at lebanon valley, so I think I'm pretty close to sea level. Keep in mind the race weight is around 4100lbs. Oh yeah, its a M6.

Hey man, long time no see. I wonder if you were getting up to LVD at all this year. I met yea a few years ago when you had the pace setter headers and a stock block. Gald to see you upped the cubes.

If you ran today, my best bud was there with his 02 red z28, my bro had a White 88 GT with drag lite rims and lx taillights. As well as my buddyies father with his green 68 gto.

Thats a killer MPH for your weight, I would wager your in the 400 rwhp range, granted its a 6 speed and I am guessing a stock 10 bolt.

My car ran yesterday but as I found out later my fuel pumps is becoming lazy so its time to swap it out

If you want email blkscreaminmach@hotmail.com or PM me

Yeah, I've read about a few of the problems you've been havin' with your car. Maybe we can meet at LVD once we get our problems straightened out( I blew a head gasket on the way home from the track). And actually I'm running a strange 12-bolt, along with a base tune from PCMforless, so I think there's still room for improvement on the tuning side of things.

What are your 60 foot times? I think you can defintly run lower then that with your trap speed.

I knew someone would bring the 60' times up My best was a 2.3, Launching with a spec stage 4 and street tires aint easy. That's why i've got some m/t's on the way.

Eww that sucks you blew a headgasket, what compression Lloyd have you running at?? I know he wanted me in the 12.5 range for my motor. Then use the cam bret would design for me to bleed of the dynamic compression given the dish of the piston and a few other things.

Get it fixed, use ARP head bolts and a 3 step tightening sequence.

As for the suspension, those M/T ET radials are insane, I need a airbag for my spring. My bro saw the way it was when it was burning out, it was really collapsing a right side spring. Adding a BMR tq arm, SFC's, and pan hard rod really helped!

4100lbs? How much do you weigh? Do you have like 300lbs of stereo equipment in the car? Anyways I would guess that you have 380-390rwhp to go 114 with that weight.

I,m running the CR at 12.1:1, and it seems to be running fine.

The car weighs 3820 without me in it, don't forget it's a 'vert so it's heavier than the average f-body. Of course, i'm no light weight at 230, plus I had some stuff from work in the trunk when I made my runs.
