Well the Chicago Garage had a little track outing at byron,il.
We had been working on Mike Steinman car(12.99someday,11secsomeday) since the last TCG outing to make sure it was going to break 11s. Sure enough on its 3rd pass it did ...and a backpass to match.
11.844@115.56
1.765 60'
With no rear end suspension limiters on 100k stock rear struts and lowering springs.
While it will be argued to death because of the nitrous use but this did set the m-90 stock cam record which was held by Steve mayes for the last 4 years or so.
Weight reduction was done, about 150lbs removed and nothing that couldnt be put back on in minutes.
For the next pass we put on the cable mod, tho it didnt help but did back up the record. Each pass were about a tenth slower the the other because of heat and plug issues.
11.9s@114
12.09@111
The Car needs more fuel/alky tuning seeing as the AFR was in the very low 10s all day excpet for the 11.8 pass which was in the 10.90s to 11.30s. Which was not making for easy takeoffs as the car would get real rich and fall on its face a little after the launch unless spraying out of the hole which would break loose the tires with ease.
The track kept having little 5 minute raining sessions and from what we were seeing the track prep was starting to fade a bit so times were left at that
we packed up and Mike drove it home.
This is probably the last time the car will see the track this year so we were glad to see it counted.
With a few upgrades this winter the Non-IC record is the next goal it would seem...or at least somthing to shoot for.
Congrats to Mike again
