Congrats brotha! Man, I am so jealous, lol. You are killing it.

I wish we had some closer tracks around here. Sigh....

 

[Sharad]

Nice. What tires are you running?

 

[GT.350-R]

Thanks Daniel,
You better just throw them race stars in the garage and keep em.
I'm hoping to go 12.30s in Atco with that magic air they have out there. LOL.

 

[GT.350-R]

Nice. What tires are you running?

275/50/15 M/T drag radials. I stayed with a shorter tire for the gearing.

Great job, Chad. That 60' looks a bit better, was that your best? How does the car feel compared to when you were at Commerce?

Car feels great. You can deff. feel the difference in location over Commerce. The 1.76-60' is the best to date but I think theres more in it. I just need to learn how to drive lol. or make more power.

 

[GT.350-R]

Hey Peaky , It was fun for sure. Close races always make for a great time.

How much air in the tires?

 

[GT.350-R]

How much air in the tires?

16 cold, About 18 or so after burnout. The track wasn't in the best shape,which proly helped a little. When I get the tire to spin just a bit the 60' goes down. I held it at 5500 and ramped the throttle just as I dumped the clutch. The track wouldn't hold any more rpm.

Car is quick for the mods you have.What does your car weigh?

 

[BMR Tech]

Wow, that is incredible.

And to think, you have more in her for sure.

Great job. So is the throttle trick workin for ya?

 

[GT.350-R]

Car is quick for the mods you have.What does your car weigh?

3600 with me and a quarter tank of gas.

 

[BMR Tech]

Just out of curiosity, you said you got a npb sixty foot time?

What changes were made to achieve that new best sixty foot time?

 

[GT.350-R]

Wow, that is incredible.

Yep, it works great. The rpm I leave at has to vary from track to track but ramping it from 5800 works best.

 

[BMR Tech]

Awesome!!

I always found it harder to adjust RPM (using the ramping method), and easier to just change tire pressure.

Sounds like you are on your way to 1.6 short times. I can't wait to see what is to come.

 

[GT.350-R]

BMR LCA Brackets. And seat time.
We'll see what Atco brings.

Finally made it out to the track this past friday night. First pass I launched around 5k not really knowing what to expect and it spun then hooked maybe 20' out netting 1.91 60' with 22psi in the tires. Next pass held it at about 4k and gave it gas and let off the clutch at the same time and got a 2.001 60' (this time with 18psi) as it spun quite a bit. Played around the next couple passes and then final pass was a 1.799 60' (with 17 psi). By no means great but for this car it's an improvement. Honestly I just think I need more seat time again, it's been too long since i've last ran it and I hardly drive it so i'm not familar with it like I used to be. Now I need to find out where my mph went since I let the car sit last summer. Only went [email protected] I guess that's an improvement as last time out it was only trapping 102-103 which was down from 107-108. I'm gonna load the stock tune and try reloading then mailorder again and see if that helps maybe as the battery was stone dead after letting it sit last summer.

Anyway, that's my update for ya with the new relocation brackets. LCA's will happen before long.
