Default Fartpipe GOES 10.81@130.08mph!!! FINALLY!

Well making what could be a really long story short. I made the last minute choice to get a ticket to race at Cecil on sunday at the Superstallions of the net track rental. Well the temps were very cold in the lower 40's. I changed the plugs for good measure, changed the clutch fluid, took the passenger seat out this time. I made the 1.5 hour drive there. Pulled in and immediately went through tech in the lanes. Some friends came over and were saying is this it etc. I said should I just go ahead and make a shake down pass since i haven't had it at the track for almost 2 months. They said yeah go ahead and make one and then let it cool down. I pull up and do a healthy burnout with the tire pressure at 14psi. This was the result....

1st pass:
60ft-1.604
330ft-4.571
1/8th-7.031
1/8mph-99.17
1000ft-9.158
1/4mi-10.912
1/4mph-129.50

I proceded to get my slip cause i thought it felt like a not so great launch and was expecting a 11.1x at 127mph. Well to my surprise i got that slip. I looked at it like in amazement. I look at the right lane and that was a 12sec run. I look up at my windshield for my # to match the one on the slip. (all while sitting at the timeslip tower). I undo the harness, undo the swingout bar, jump out of the car and look at my car# and back at the slip. Guy behind me gives the 2 hands up like uhhh WTF? I start yelling and jump in the car and head to the pitts. Seen a bunch of people coming over to say congrats and say was that me LOL! After a couple flying leaping hugs in to strong male arms I was absolutely stoked. So I let the car cool for a bit and went to go back.
I got behind a street tire car and in front of him was a big street tire truck. I was like oh no please oh please dont drive through the water... YUP you guessed it they both drove through the water. I was rewarded with the following pass:

60ft-1.723
330ft-4.680
1/8th-7.132
1/8mph-99.46
1000ft-9.251
1/4mi-11.002
1/4mph-129.64

Spun really hard but kept into it cause the nose stayed up. I was absolutely astounded with the MPH. I took out the passenger seat, installed meizere electric waterpump, had more gas then I would have liked about 3/8th tank. Drove to and from the track on the same tank 130miles lol. I did add 8oz torco to the tank when it would have been around 6-7gallons of gas in the tank to help mix it in by the time i got there.

So pissed at coming back the horrible 11.0's I came right back around and got in line. Shut the car off due to nothing but radial cars in the lane. I waited till i seen some bigger slick tire cars come around. Went in behind one of them. This was the pass I received and was my final pass cause I just didnt want to push my luck after this one. Though it shows the car would've ran a 10.7's easily IMO.

3rd pass:
60ft-1.551-spinning
330ft-4.512 light spin on 1-2shift
1/8th-6.959
1/8mph-99.30-WTF I've trapped 100mph before and couldnt do it today!
1000ft-9.073
1/4mi-10.819
1/4mph-130.08
picking up nearly 31mph in the last part of the quarter is insane IMO. Not sure how it did that. Last time the car was dynoed was at 444rwhp/385rwtq. It may have picked up a little with the elec waterpump and torco.
Well thats it, sorry its so long but I've been running 11.0x's for over a year now!

Fartpipe, how did you get the draglites to fit in the front? And are you still doing this on your stock torque tube?

WELL SHEET!!!!!!!! I was all exited and posted in the wrong forum. Funny thing is I'm going to be selling the motor out of the car here in about a month or so. SO this actually works!!

Mike-front draglites fit with doing a rear c5 brake conversion on the front. Left rear brake caliper/rotor on the right front and right rear brake caliper/rotor on the left front. Thin spacer and light clearancing of the calipers made it fit perfect. If you look on tech forum and search draglite you should find my how to thread.

Viper-I launched the first pass at 5000rpm raising to 5500rpm by the time clutch is out all the way. 2nd pass was at 6000rpm to start and didnt work. 3rd pass was at 5500-6000rpm by the time the clutch was out. Tires are ET street biasply 26x11.5x16.

Detail mod list:
101K miles on stock LS1 bottom end
TSP PRC Stage 1 LS6 heads
Magic Stick 3 cam
Fast 90mm intake ported
LS2 TB ported
SLP 85mm MAF
Vararam B2
Haltech Air duct
Underdrive pulley
Meizere Elec waterpump
Kooks LT's 1 3/4 offroad version
Kooks 3in Xpipe
SLP Loudmouth
4.10 rear w/hardened left shaft-w/DTE brace-RPM billet Diff cover and support rods ( i like it braced)
Textralia Clutch 0Z700 Billlet steel flywheel
Tick Perf clutch master
MGW shifter
Torque tube is 10mm with alum coupler and new BMW front coupler
Stock suspension with front sway bar removed

Pfft THANK YOU!!!!! Thats a wonderful system though you've heard it a billion times. Guarantee that VARARAM was a BIG part of the MPH of this car. I started out trapping 124mph with just the Haltech and filter on the car. Picked up about 1.5-2mph with my VARARAM KUDO'S TO YOU GUYS!!!!!!
