COOL AIR & small changes = all New Bests

Mikie C · 10-01-2003, 01:59 AM

Had to take advantage of the Fall air, so I went to Atco for some T&T.
This car has me flabergasted Without further adieu, the timeslips.
#1. Slight spin...beat up on a nitroused LS1 Trans Am
60'...1.701
330..4.905
1/8...7.550
MPH..92.10
990'...9.708
11.799
MPH..116.85
#2 Dead Hook..snuffed out a Vortex Mustang
60'....1.624
330...4.815
1/8....7.457
MPH...92.31
990'...9.692
1/4....11.70
MPH...116.81

So all new bests on 60', ET, and MPH.
Still stock internals and stock GM tuning (referring to the air-fuel tables)
I did make a few changes since 2 weeks ago. I changed the fuel filter, and it was partially clogged. Probably was the reason the car was running lean.
This is something you guys should think about doing. Thanks to Dennis K. and Tony Abbruuze and their LS1 Edit expertise, the "abuse Mode" has been throughly eliminated from the ECM :smash: The car now feels stronger than ever. Of course the cool air helps. This car is definitely a "Ringer", either that or it's posessed :reddevil

Mike those are AWESOME times.. & will prob only get better in the next few weeks..

I feel the same.. my car has never had the heads or intake manifold off, & in "killer air" I ran 12.28 @ 110

Now I have a mild converter, & my TAG is telling me I'll still run 12.6

I'll see ya in 2 weeks...

Thanks John. Yeah your car is the quickest C4, with just minor mods, that I've heard of. I guess we got lucky and picked out the cream of the crop :smash:

See you soon :)

Whatever it says in his sig is what he has in the car. The motor was never touched. It's all just bolt-ons. His car simply amazes me and makes me pretty damn jealous.... :D

Very NICE, Mike! :cool:

What was the air density last night? It had to be pretty good.

If I wasn't putting my Dad's car together last night I would have joined you at ATCO.

Does it still have the stock valve springs ? I know I ate mine up in 10,000 miles with the 6200+ rpm shift points with stockers.

REDGAR · 10-01-2003, 03:54 PM

You are the best buddy.

98NYFINESTVETTE · 10-01-2003, 06:08 PM

Hey Ralph, He has less work done to it then you. :lol:

Mikie C · 10-01-2003, 07:51 PM

Thanks guys

Ralph
Yeah I've been there, I mean I had an '88 TPI Vette and did everthing possible to it H/C, headers, LPE manifold etc, and with 150 shot of spray I ran just slightly better than what this car goes with basic boltons. This doesn't take away from your car though, as your baby runs strong and very consistent.

Eric
I believe the DA was about =5-600. Definitely good air. Sorry you couldn't make it. How is your dads car coming along?

RWhite
Yep, still has the stockers. But good tip, I will keep an eye on them

Edgar
Thanks , wish you could of been there. I'm sure you would be looking at a new best, if not just to make some passes.

Mike :flag :chevy

Hey, I grew up in that New Jersey air. There were so many hydrocarbons in it that you could almost run your car with what came in through the top of the carb. When the local weatherman gave the air quality report it included an octane rating.
