from what it looked like in person he got a quick 1 and crept up to 2 or a lil more.

I hit top of 4th and shutdown and he takes off again. He kinda stayed still towards the middle to top of 4th.
I must need glasses then, because I see more than that. But oh well, doesn't really matter anyways.
The video goes on for a few seconds after i hit 4th. He basically stays in the same spot for 4-5 seconds and then i hit top of 4 and he takes off, i shut down.

I think thats what you are seeing.

He definitely beat me. It just wasnt nearly as bad as i had imagined.

FWIW, i beat this car 3/4 passes at the local 1/8th track.

I wasn't expecting that, what was your bottle pressure at? I hate to say it but he pulled pretty hard on you. Most people think that when you can fit 2 cars between the cars that's getting beat by 2 cars, but actually when the front and back bumpers are even, that's a car. It look like he had you by 3+ when you let off. When you run ZW, are you running him NA while you are on the bottle?

I dont feel bad at all. Hes a friend of mine and had just bought the car and wanted to see how it would do.

Coincidentally he built the car, but the guy he did it for hit a peice of metal in the road and insurance totalled it out so the current owner bought it from him for 2500$ and fixed the k-member and oil pan and voila...2500$ 12 second car.
If it's got ported heads and a cam. And beat your car with a 100 shot, I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's an 11 second car. Any H/C LT1 should easily be hitting 11's, with enough traction.
11's? That's good... Heck, that's better than an 03-04 "Cobra"
A motor that was introduced in 92, in a car weighing in at around 3400-3500 lbs (maybe more depending on driver size and what all he's got in there), pulling 11's N/A, is still pretty damnimpressive. Not to mention the heads are ported stockers and not even higher flowing aftermarket heads.

it was low a 900 PSI. We had made a coupl eruns before that so the pressure was down.

What part werent you expecting?

That motor made 400+whp before and my car would be around 330-340whp.

I guess it was about 3 or 3.5 then.

me and zach will run with him on motor, and me on spray.

he traps 89-90 in the 1/8th and i trap 86. Its a faster car for sure.

Next up will be me vs Zw99GT on motor and me vs a 315+awhp STI.
Is that trap of 86 on or off the juice?

Gotcha.

When I ran my 11.7, I was sitting uncomfortably on my right nut, which hindered my shifting.

I know, excuse mode.

The trap is a lil low on that pass and everyone asks why so i figured id explain it before you asked too.

I don't have nearly enough track experience to question 1/8 mile trap speeds.

But I did look at the time in my sig and I was at the 1/8 in 7.822 at 98.43 mph. My next best 1/8 was 8.023 at 96.3 mph. That pass turned into a 12.004 at 123.35 mph (2.162 60 foot).
