Went to the track Today

[OrangeL67]

So I went to Lapeer Dragway on a pair of DR's my friend let me borrow. They didn't help my 60ft time very much over all-seasons, but they were very consistent. It was 96 degrees at the track and I ran against a headwind with no intercooler pump .

I ran 13 flat for my best ET of the day and almost pulled a 107 for best trap speed. I was shooting for 12's at closer to 110, but I didn't really expect it to happen in the conditions and my IC situation.

7 of my 8 passes were between 2.02-2.06 60ft. Worst 60ft was 2.142

My quickest pass was
2.020 60ft
8.440 1/8
83.98 MPH 1/8
13.021 1/4 mile
104.96 MPH 1/4 mile

My fastest pass was
2.059 60ft
8.665 1/8
84.87 MPH 1/8
13.187 1/4 mile
106.81MPH 1/4 mile

Too bad I won't be going back to the track on a better day to run. I was hoping to see 12.7-8 in cooler weather on street tires. The block is gonna be pulled and swapped for high compression.

Mods were VS cam, XS headers, 65# inj, e85, No intercooler (dead pump), 2.8 pulley, Nitto 555r's,

Not bad considering the heat and the track. I've seen your car on m59, looks and sounds good too.

Those were some decent track times, what * was your advance set at?

I feel you on the I/C situation, I have to replace my core and re-seal the plates. I found out the core was leaking, right after i got my new Bosch pump too. I may never find time to get this junk to the track until Fall.

I could easily see MID 12's on a cold day with the right conditions and 60 foot...keep it low compression.

Thanks 18* WOT

Oh but High compression is so much more fun! All depends on what bottom end I find with the right price/mileage balance. I really wanna try a HC/ Milled heads thin Head gasket Gen V build.
