The only thing i bought new in my mod list was the tuner from JPC. Everything else was picked up used. I have a grand total of $1475 in parts including the wheels and tires. Turned into budget build by accident. I like the challege of doing more with less. The truth is,i think there's more left in it. On all my passes yesterday,i was spinning all through first gear past the 60ft clocks,plus the air could have been better. Gonna try again next weekend.

Congrats, nice times!

Any videos?

 

[fdjizm]

5.0 times with bolt on's on a 3v @ 110mph, pretty sick. ummm nah I won't be that guy lol

 

[BlueByYou]

I'm kicking myself for going by myself and not getting it on film, but next weekend i'll be sure to tape it to calm any doubt that it was me that ran these times. It should run quicker,the forecast for the weekend calls for high 50's,20-30% humidity. Gotta play more with tire pressure and launch RPM. I got some OBX long tubes and 4.10's on the shelf to be installed,but i really think i can knock another tenth or two off the ET as it sits.

 

[Blxcklist]

Oh hell yeah. 4.10s and long tubes will knock quite a bit off your ET

A GT500 TB will require a re-tune, correct?

 

[Daniel Day]

Awesome ET man! Can't wait to see what you do once you get the LTs and 4.10s installed. And yes, I do believe you will need a refund with that TB.

Thanks!! Mmm...refund??? LOL!!!

 

[Blxcklist]

Yeah a new tune is required for the gt500 TB

 

[BlueByYou]

Cool, i think i'm gonna pass right now on the TB because of the re-tune.

 

[Daniel Day]

Thanks!! Mmm...refund??? LOL!!!

*retune

Stupid Droid and its fancy autospell, lol! Guess I should proof read next time.

 

[SlvrS197]

awesome times man!! my silver car on pro stars went mid 12's at 110-111 with similar mods. jlt, xcal with bamachips tune, and x pipe with dumped stingers. with 3.31 gears and stock manifolds. added 4.10's and bested a 12.39 @111.6 but on 26x11.50 et streets.

 

[BlueByYou]

Thank You sir, i'm gonna go back next weekend and try to better that .42 a tenth or two. Cooler air and working on that 60'ft. should help. I've pulled a 1.78 60'ft best so far.

 

[808muscle]

Amazing times.....congrats. You just gotta love racing in those temps. The car certainly does.

 

[BlueByYou]

Thanks! Yea, air temp and humidity play a big role, should have better air in the next few weeks. The track stays open right up till X-tmas. Shooting for some 20's or 30's before any more mod's.
