Thread: New et

Just ran my best ET with my GXP 14.135@98.79mph 2.11 on the 60'.....ran faster than an LT1 corvette, and a Nissan Skyline.....gotta work on my r/t's got eliminated by another GP so it wasn't so bad.....

Nice 60 foot. Are u stock or do u have any mods. Is that with stock tires? I would love to get down to a 2.0X 60 foot with street tires. I wonder what your corrected time would be.

My best corrected time was 13.731@100.86mph. w a 2.154 60 foot. but i have a few mods.

all stock except exhaust cut out and re760's up front.....don't know how to figure out the corrected time but i do know im at 1796'

DA Calculator - Density Altitude Calculator - DragTimes.com

It lists most tracks and temps every hour. Gotta fill it all out. To get your DA correction then plug in your run. Should drop it a couple tenths. The best run of mine was actually a 15.154 @ 91.68. But my DA(density altitude) correction was at 8800 feet.

DA correction came in at 3332, 13.565@103.01

Hella nice man. What are your goals vs mods. I wanna get into the 14's with my elevation. With out any other major mods. Maybe a Throttle body spacer.

im not gonna go to crazy next is the CAI, im dreaming about the cartunning turbo kit but i want to pick up a spare engine to do that.....i like to keep things original or at least able to return to original......for the time being if i can get into 13s with the CAI it will satisfy my cravings for a while

LoL i dont blame you man. Have u flipped the Upper motor mount in the dogbone?

no havnt flipped it, have u? got pics? what TBS ru goin with???

The TBS will probally be a Jet spacer. Most guys are using Jet or Airraid. The Airraid spacer make a high whistle sound that u may or may not want. Ill probally do the Jet TBS because its cheaper. As for the Mount i dont have pics. But Basically what u do is remove the in the center holding it all together. Then Push the flexible part out of the way. if u have a Smaller pry bar or large flat head screw driver it will be useful as well as WD-40. U will want to pry the rubber up a bit in the corner and spray lubricant so that it will be easier to flip. Then put the bolt back in tighten it all the way up. Then use your tools on the bolt you should be able to just flip it. Should help u get power to the ground.

Here is a link to some pics
Flipped Motor Mount - Page 2 - LS1TECH

Basically right now the solid part is mounted vertically. Allowing the motor to rock forwards and back easy. By flipping it your moving the solid part horizontally. This allows alot less forward and back movement. Kinda makes soft shifts smother as your not getting the motor/trans rocking, and stabilizes it when trying to put down alot of power, should help with your 60 foot.

Damn that sucks. I didnt have any problems and took me like five minutes to do. Lots of lube should prevent that.

The polly mounts make alot of vibrations with the big V-8, even more when it goes into 4 cyl mode

it took me like 20 mins but i could see someone loosing patience and rippin the rubber....just got the call to go back to work so i wont make it to the track for a couple of weeks to see if it makes any difference

Well glad u didnt rip it or anything. How does it feel just driving around.

seemed too shift a little smoother but i didnt get a chance to get out on the highway.....
