Got some recent ETs...

I haven't raced the car in over a year but finally got around to it this past Friday at Englishtown. Since my last run I added a 52mm TB(scored cheap on Ebay new), SLP Loud Mouth from an LS1 with a single 3" Catco cat and a 190 lph fuel pump. The car rarely gets used so I did little more than jump a dead battery, wash it and race. Below is a pic of the slips in order that I ran them. The best ET was a 13.693 at 98.00 MPH on a 1.802 60ft., my worst 60ft of the night. The car ran pretty damn consistant except my top end bog is still present. At least I knocked the dust off hopefully come Spring I get a few more bugs ironed out and maybe some more $ to throw at it. These times came with 112k miles, 3:23s and at a weight of 3656 lbs. Here are the slips:

Slips


Here's a hard to see video clip. You can slightly make out what's going on and if nothing else you get to hear the SLP LM at WOT. All in all a good night and I went 4-0 in the process, a year+ off from this is far too long!!

Full run

3 more runs

Sorry about the horrible footage. It's dark early plus 5% tint and no one to bribe to tape from the stands = poor videos.

Nice runs bro. In the vid, it sounds like you almost let up on the throttle bout mid track, then get back into it again. Maybe it's just that exhaust, or maybe I'm just a retard. In either case, keep it up man.

Thanks! Nope I'm not letting up that's a problem that I've had for a while now. It always stumbles after shifting into drive then it recovers. That's on my list of things that need to be fixed.

Thanks! I run 255/50/16s BFGs on Prostar XPs for the track only. The track was prepped nice not even a hint of tire spin really, they were set at 18 psi.

Nope not the lock up that's been looked into already. I never got to run the 1/4 with a scan tool but under quick WOT bursts I did pick up some knock count. I need to read up and throw some more time and effort at it, I'll get it sooner or later but thanks for the suggestions!
