Default Cappy, I ran a 11.94 at 117.2, and they made me leave the track.

I know, just like your car, there was more time to nibble away at, but they made me leave. I couldnt get better than a 1.79 60' time. See ya in October, going fishing. Steve

Steve

How are you getting 400 RWHP out of that combo? I think the hot cam can make 400 hp at the crank but not at the rear wheels. You set up is similar to my Formula except my eng is not a real LT1. Got a supercharger or NO2?

Probably not a hot cam either then cuz I don't think that will make 500+ hp even in a 434 stroker. Gotta love a mystery eng. :)

Cappy, I think you are being called out. Steve was calling you "Slo Yeller" all night long. :D :jester

Steve, Great runs and way to show all the camaros how to make power.

Nice times. I'd be right with you if I had an automatic transmission...but with me shifting the 4 speed 12.1 @ 117.7MPH is the best I have done.

I take it your track is NHRA? Mine is IHRA which allows you to run as low as 11.50 without the need for a cage. Is your motor naturally aspirated or are you running nitrous, turbo, supercharger?

Steve......Great news......Unfortunately we are outlaw now. Yep you're right....I know what you got breathing under that hood....It's a small block.....with plenty of pazzaaaazzzz.
Gkull is coming in Sept to help me with my set up.....so when you get back it's time to light this candle.

Maurice......
Hope you and Norris are ready to party when Gkull gets here.

Great run!

I did like one guys technique...

Bump up a bit at the light, then wait a sec or two...
Says, everyone laughs at the slow time, but overlooked the 110+ trap speed.
:cool:

Fevre, it is a Hot Cam, with 1.6 rollers like you should have with it, and a little less motor than Cappy. I also have some CNC stage 3 heads, but my tuner is the exception. he was 20 rwhp over Ed Wright
