new best today

[MachRan]

I went back to the track today now that I adjusted the LCAs and took the front sway bar off. The car still didnt hook.

I put a pair off 28x10.5 M/T slicks on and they hooked.

My best pass was 10.99 @ 124 with a 1.60 60'

Finally in the 10s!
The DA was 1700' when I ran so once it cools off here I should pick up some ET.
I still think the car should 60' better too.

Nice!

Congratulations on joining the 10 second club!

Congrats on reaching the 10's!
Looks like switching to slicks was the solution for taming the increased torque multiplication at the rear wheels.

 

[MachRan]

Thanks guys. I can't wait for cooler weather.

Wow, a 10-second timeslip! Nice! My '07 GT Automatic with a Vortech blower never came close (best pass was 11.79 @ 114).

Congrats on the 10! What's the stall speed, and gear ratio?

Thanks
2400 with 3.73s.
I definitely could use more gear

I would definitely love to see that stall bumped up to 3k. I have my PI at 3200, 4.10's and 28" timers. I usually cut low 1.5x 60' and can do 10.8's all day. If your sig is correct, at 602 rwhp, the car sure has more to give and you should see better times with more runs.

I know cooler weather will help. I'm also considering running a 26" slick. How much rwhp does your car make?

~520 at 15lbs, ~550 at 18lbs.

Congrats!

When you say you adjusted the LCA - what did you change? LCA angle?

What rear suspension pieces, including shocks, are you using?

Thank you.
I moved the relocation brackets from the bottom hole to the top.
I have stock shocks, steeda billet LCA and BBR relocation brackets.
My friend that I bought the car from bought all of these pieces.
The only thing I have done is add 3.73s, weld the axle tubes, eaton and slicks.

That's a nice streetable combo. It could ET quicker with a higher stall and more gear, but you'd be sacrificing the street manners a little.

Congrats on the 10's!! Thats kicking ass. What track were you at? If you can get the 60' down. IMO 3.73 with a 28" tire is a nice combo.
3000k stall with a 3.73 gears and I manage low 1.5's and high 1.4 60's.
Are you loading the converter or flashing it off idle?

 

[MachRan]

Thanks. I run at Cecil. It's only 10 mins from my house.
I was leaving at 2000 with the 2400 so I guess you would say I was flashing it. How do you do it ?

 

[rayS197]

footbrake and load the converter to 1500-1800 rpms.

What tires and pressure do you run?
