With some power shifting and a harder launch I'm sure I could have broke the 12 second zone. I had planned on trying with the next run but they shut us down. Either way I was pretty happy

The 12.3 run was with a 150 shot.....bad *** BFG drag radials too lol

and when I say I stuck with him...I mean we started even at 2nd at 30 mph and at 120 my nose was at his door and I think I was actually starting to come back on him a little at the top of my 4th. He has 3.55's I have 3.73's

 

Past personal best down in TX in 90* heat on 555r's spinning 1st and 2nd....

Nice times J, now make with the vids, kthnxbye.

 

We got video on an older camcorder so I either have to figure out how to put it on a computer or I am going to blow it up on big screen and record that with my phone.

 

good to hear nothing broke on the car....nice runs too !

 

ALSO, Just so its out there. This was FULL race weight, full interior, full street setup. Just remove the jack and spare tire and around a 1/2 tank of gas....so the 12 second zone isn't out of my reach by no means . My main goal was to go out and smash my previous and to show up a couple LS1's that have been talking **** on FB saying my car can't keep up/ outrun their all mighty POS's. The main one only ran a 13.5 (street tires) and a cammed GTO ran a 13.1 at 111 but I wasn't worried about him.

Next upgrades to help...

port lower intake
24lb injectors (ones I get the correct MAF)
LCA's (running stock with a T/A and PHB setup)
3G alt (not for speed lol)
shocks/struts (still have factory 93 on the car lol)

Next time I think I might install a stock set of rear springs and trim them a little. From what little video I seen I had pretty decent weight transfer to the back but it looks like it sprung back forward too quick IMO. Watched it on a little 2 inch screen while I was driving home so gotta wait till it gets blown up bigger.

With this car it will probably stay my corner carver but for those days I am taking it to the track swap in the rear springs, remove the strut tower brace and the rear seats out of the car to lose a few pounds and break that damn 12 second slip I have wanted with this car!

 

really , only a 12.3 with a 150 shot on a full h/c/i/ car?? I'd of expected 12.3 without the no2.......what was his mph?? maybe that'll tell the real story

 

I just ordered shocks and struts for mine. Regular monroes for the front and sensa-tracs for the back.lol I thought it was worth a try.

I was going to do like 90/10 50/50 but, I am not sure how long they will last on the street?

Does your car not have 4 cylinder car springs under it?

 

No, I have BBK specific rates under it. Like I said the car is built to take corners, not for launching

 

12.3 at 118. That was supposed to say bald *** not bad *** lol. Its a full weighted 87 GT. trick flow top end, 3.55's eibach drag launch rear springs, and MAC lowers. This was his first time to the track in over a year so it didn't do to bad. His best is a 12.1 on N2O and 12.8 without I think.
