I finally made it to the track but there was a chance of a strong thunderstorm. All runs were made on 93 octane at about 15.5PSI. The car weighed in at 4,080LBS (full weight with me in it). My EGTS *NEVER* got above 900C in the front bank and I had a solid .96 02s across the powerband like I usually do on the street. I only got ONE datalog because the launch would pull that cheap ing cable out of the palm.
1/2 hour before 1st run and it DOWN poured for 3 minutes and then the sun came out. It was 80 deg and the track BACKED, the humidity was terrible. I don't know if it was the temp, the cars, the humidity, etc. but most cars seem to run a bit slower than normal. My friend that runs 13.0x-13.1X in his STI couldn't get better than 13.3 and a Z06 was in the HIGH HIGH 12s. I need to wait until next time when I get a NORMAL 1.7 60' to get 11s on pump with stock exhaust. I am close tho
1st run against a Buick National Turbo
1.979 60'
12.47 @ 112.35MPH
I babied the launch and bogged it
2nd run against my old BASE 3000GT
1.916 60'
12.45 @ 111.27MPH
I tree'd him, 60'ed him, and put over 3 FULL seconds of ET. The video is priceless.
3rd run against a WS6 w/ MTs/H/C/BoltOns. He appeared to be the fastest "street" car there
1.864 60'
12.18 @ 112.93MPH
4th run against the same WS6
1.95 60'
12.4 @ 113.13MPH
