New Toys for the chase to 14.0's
Hey Everyone, I know I havent posted for a couple of weeks but wanted to give an update to those on the chase to 14.0's on bolt-on's...............
I have just picked up the following.........
3.73's rear end gears
7.5 trak lok
rear end gear install kit
BMR LCA's
I also am changing out the GT Takeoff's and doing a couple of other bolton's that have not been firmed up yet.
I have not been to the track yet this year because of work. I am constantly out of state, but should be able to get some shakedown passes when I get back in the month.

I thought that with a CAI and tune you could get into the 14s easy. I don't know it that's true.. but that's what i've heard.

The 6 or 7 of us in the chase have gone anywhere from 14.3's to 14.6's

RE: New Toys for the chase to 14.0's
When I ran at CCD before adding the x-pipe, GT mid-pipe, and add'l GT take-off muffler, my better time of the two was 14.701 @ 95.7mph. This past weekend at Norwalk (after changing my exhaust set-up), my best time was 14.994 @ 93.71mph. Traction was an issue at Norwalk for me, and everyone seemed to run slower. But my speed was consistently lower at Norwalk after the new exhaust.
EDIT: I now know that my lower speed through the traps @ Norwalk was the result of track conditions and the driver, so adding duals should not have a negative effect on your ET's or speed.

28hopup-from what I hear the humidity was really bad there, that would of cost you a few tenths right there. Having 2 mufflers is a weight penality too. I would say it's the weather, not the car.
merlinstream-the closest time to 14.0 is now 14.13. You better hurry!

Hold off a week or so before adding the second GT take-off muffler. When I ran at CCD before adding the x-pipe, GT mid-pipe, and add'l GT take-off muffler, my better time of the two was 14.701 @ 95.7mph. This past weekend at Norwalk (after changing my exhaust set-up), my best time was 14.994 @ 93.71mph. Traction was an issue at Norwalk for me, and everyone seemed to run slower. But my speed was consistently lower at Norwalk after the new exhaust. Perhaps it was due to less back-pressure? The only way for me to know for sure is to duplicate the conditions at CCD and run there again to see if those times/speeds are affected.
I will certainly post my results...

Not usre why you ran so much slower. Weather, traction, + / - weight? also did you run the 14.7 time with the new gears?

Boss ran a 14.3 and a 14.1, he is the N/A king now and probably forever. There are afew coming up but he has the crown. You should really be setting you goals a sub 13's in an N/A car. Good lukc and pratice you launches.
Norwalk was slightly Horrible, I was down 3mph and .3 in the 1/4. Not my best day.
