New ET. Big thanks out to Ralph.

Corvette0096 · 10-02-2003, 01:20 AM

Well First off a Big thanks to Ralph. He has walked me though the whole thing and has been very helpfull. The DA was 1145 ft. This is a 350,219, Super ram. I never gave the motor time to cool. Here is what she ran 12.300 mph 112.90 I know with some better air and a cooler motor this thing will bump into the 11's. My best 60 foot time was 1.704

NICE! :smash: :smash: What tires? Great 60' What kind of lights were you cutting?

Corvette0096 · 10-02-2003, 01:51 AM

That's some respectable times you got there dude. What are you running for mods?

Jeffvette · 10-02-2003, 02:08 AM

Excellent job Rich.

Did I hear correctly on AIM today, you said it was 90 deg? It couldn't have cooled down that much at night.

You got to where you said you wanted to be last year...LOW 12's! :D I'll bet you want to taste an 11.9 now ;)

Keep at it my friend, you're making some nice steps. :cheers: :steering: :thumbs:

ralph · 10-02-2003, 10:19 AM

You're getting closer to that 11 sec barrier. I emailed you a couple of other ideas.

:cheers:

Keep following Ralph's advice and wait for some real good cool air, cool the engine down nicely and let it rip!

How much air was in the tires? BTW, 113 mph is enough for a high 11. Ralph and Bob Sebrowski routinely run high 11's@111-113 in the heat.

Well done Rich! :cheers:

I tried 28psi and got some wheel spin. and then I dropped them down to 22 and that seemed about right..

Hole-Shot · 10-02-2003, 03:31 PM

That's Bakin ! Nice work!
:cool: :cheers:

Corvette0096 · 10-02-2003, 09:13 PM

Thanks Hole shot. What did you have for a set up in your sig?

dbwade36 · 10-02-2003, 09:23 PM

:party: I hope that when I eventually take my vette to the track, I can at least break into the 12's. Still need many mods, even for that. Congrats! A very respectable ET.

What was your launch technique with the torque convertor? I hope to get my car back from MORE next weekend. I doubt I'll track this year, but the car will be entirely new to me with the additional power.

Good runs!

Ron
