Was looking for a 10.9 today. A lot of cars at NYI, it was the final point race and the fridged nationals event.
Drove the car to the track with the slicks in the back, changed them and drove home Like always, cars never been tailored. 1st pass was like WTF when I didn’t see the 10.99, had the front shocks tight. Its been yanking them alot more the needed. Think it spun a bit, didn’t yank the car that hard. 2step at 6400 But with the spool and summit rear shock I traded form BigKap that car feels slow, but its smooth and strait now.
Loosen up the shocks, But some oil down, sat for like 3.5 hours cleanup. And it was in the 50’s so cold. I wanted to drive the car to warm it up the trans was really notchy being ice cold. Ripped off a new best 1.522 but missed 2nd or 3rd
Waited in TnT line for a while, lined up with my NeonGLH that went a 11.01 Cut a good light, 60’s hooked 1.499 no bog, 10.84
Wanted to get a 10.7 thinking that was top10 maybe cam only list? I remembered the 10.99 10.75 was reallllly tight. Pulled the paper airfilter., and got in line. It was getting cold and not alot of fast cars. Didn’t yank the wheels that hard, so probably had to much wheel speed? Backed up the 10.86… But the 127.5 is flyin’ for what the car is. LS1 with stock unported 241 heads, no power adder, fast92/92, SLP lid, headers, stock cat back no cutout. Same way I drive it everyday, just the wheels. This was though that old 94-96 LT1 SLP 2OTL (2 on the left) catback even. I thought about making another pass but was happy with that and wanted to get going to eat.
I don’t think I’m gona drive it to the shootout this weekend in Memphis TN . I did last year its really fun, but the DRs are getting bald and dont have better tires, and will be hitting rain for sure. Its like a 2,400 mile trip just there, and I gona visit brent strong in Nashvillle. So like to tailor it, I want to go all out anyway, and see what it would run in race mode like alot of the other cars. So I can take the exhaust off, interior stuff. The tune on it now is with a no screen 85mm MAF, Mike from NewEra did for a quick inspection tune last month. Shit still runs great, and realllly fast. I want to run no MAFF, and get a SD tune with the open headers, or short tubes off the headers if I need to. I think shawna from *** got some vids too.
