finally made it to the track.
well i have gone back and forth with plenty of people here about my car and my setup... well i finally made it to the track, the only problem was that I HAVE NO 3RD GEAR AT ALL.
THIS MEANS I WENT 1ST TO 2ND, THEN I WENT STRAIT TO 4TH ON EVERYRUN...
first runs were motor passes i did 12.7 at 104, then i did a 12.8 at 105... on motor skipping 3rd gear... car did 1.72 60fts both runs bogging.
well then i figured **** it lests see what it does on the bottle, i used flash20s used up bottle sittin at like 750 psi
and the runs went like this
1run bouncing off the 1st and 2nd limiter the car went11.9 at 120mph...
2nd run with my wot switch not kicking on in 2nd gear the car went 11.7 at 120mph... this was verified by the car shooting flames out the back from all the extra fuel.
3rd run the car pulling hard till i went to 4th then it blew throught the clutch down low then pulled again up top it went 11.8 at 114...
1.8 60ft on the first spray run and 1.62 on the last two launching softer than i was all motor.

RE: finally made it to the track.
picture of the car running down the track and another good shot of it exactly how it gets driven on the street daily and how it got raced at the track... no switching wheels or tires or any of that crap.. Nothing taken out, stock seats and everything up front.

RE: finally made it to the track.
Yeah........
Hey guys.. I got no slips and no vids, but my car went 9.90s last night with no 1st gear, I just launched in 2nd! All I had to do was cut a hole in my hood!
Edit: isn't this supposed to be the bullitt with a low compression setup for a supercharger etc etc? Must be making what, 550-600 WHP to pull a 121+ MPH trap without third gear? With third must go what, 125-128 MPH? Seriously....
If your going to make up complete bull****, at least find some slips off the internet that have the same numbers, and then acutally make up something thats even remotely beliveable. 120+ mph trap without third gear.... lol.
Car must go high 10s with third eh? Rofl.
Edit: God I wish you lived next to say ZW99GT so he could put a slap down on your ***...

RE: finally made it to the track.
i mean it could happen....didnt 01gt4.6 run a 12.4 n/a? and wasnt it on his nittos or was it the slicks? if it was the nittos then u have to think...they both have built motors and should be making around the same power, if this guy can cut a sub 1.8 60ft a 12.8 might be a reasonable time without 3rd gear. it is almost a half second of 01gt46s time...and lets say he was sprayin a 100 shot of juice...that should result in a second off his n/a time give or take a tenth or 2 and the juice probly helped when he went from 2nd-4th cause of all thr tq nitrous makes. i duno...just my 2 cents
