Default New best ET' !!!!!!

Who says that AFR 210's are too big for a 357ci........... :lol:
This is an 11.4:1 357 ci and N/A.
Anyway, raced at the Fastest Street Vette Shootout this weekend, and yeilded some pretty decent results for the first time out with a crappy tune, and a high rpm miss.....

My best ET

60' 1.553 new best
660' 7.133 new best
660' mph 98.96 new best
1320' 11.147 new best
1320 mph 120.78 on the brakes

I dialed a 11.20 and broke out in the finals of the bracket class with a 11.14. My best mph of the event was 126.71 mph.

The DA was 2065' at the time of this run.

Your car is running stout. If they had run the event on Friday you could have waited till the light turned green and won the NA class :D
Your car ran flawlessly Friday night. Good run btw when we ran in the brackets ( I need to work on my lights).
It was alot of fun and hopefully they will have another one in November.
:cheers:

Thanks Ced. The R/T and 1.72 60' killed me. No excuses here, but I will be back. :D

I was thinking of about the same set up on my '88.
I have 13" rotors up front.
How'd you fit those on with clearance for your calipers?

I cant help you on the clearence of the 13" rotors (I am runing stock still), but I am running a 7.5 in backspace on the rear with a 1/4 spacer. Had to grind a little off of the outer fins on the rear calipers.
