Default New 1/4 mile PB with vids

Sorry it's taken so long for me to get this up but I wanted to have the video's put together first haha.

Well last week March 4th I went to VMP with PD, 97, and Z28Th1s for some 1/4 mile fun!!

I will say I thought me car was gonna do better but a few things was against me..... The trans that I bought a few months ago was suppose to be good but after the install 2nd gear was screwed so I have to granny 2nd, I thought it would be good to put Cam 2 in the car and bump the timming up but I think over that hurt me and we had a wonderful 15-20mph head wind haha. Enough with the excuses now lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k3-J..._gKlYV9B77GRw=

My best mph was 109.52

Best 60' was 1.62

Best 1/8th was 7.81

and best 1/4 was 12.32

When I got to the track with 3/8 tank of gas car weighed in at 3155 with me, pulled the passenger seat out and after some running got it to a 1/4 tank of gas and she weighed in at 3095 with my big *** haha


Hopefully I can work some magic and get this good trans and clutch this week for next to nothing fix some things on my car and MAYBE hit the 1/4 again with everyone next Saturday!! But we'll see...

Thanks man it was a great day! Drove 2 hours and ran then drove more back home but then my car stops running lol......

BTW I looked more into fixing that thing and I can't pull my distributer out and by rotor button isn't turning so I'm in the right mind to think that I broke maybe the gear on the bottom of the dizzy Now just gotta figure out how I'm going to go about fixing it...

Nice video!! Yes, we didn't all run the times that we were hoping for but we had a good time and made it back home without any vehicle carnage and 97 yanked the tire off the ground with a 3.7 liter V6!!!

last time i was at the track we had a 15mph head wind and my n/a time was down 2mph after i made some changes. so I'd expect similar with all you guys of 2/3 mph.
