I went to Atco last night and finally got into the 11's barely but I'll take it! New time in sig. and that was with some of the worst prep that I have ever experienced at Atco EVER! Because I usually run low 1.6's but my best was a mid 1.6 last night....Anyway, I am just happy that it finally got over that hump lol.....

 

congrats on your new time! I've seen alot of guys hit low 12's high 11's on that combo....I'm wondering what makes it so you are hitting low 12's high 11's on a cam slightly better than mine and a smaller engine? oh well im envious

 

Congrats on the 11 sec timeslip!

can we get more info on the car tire size front and rear, suspension, drivetrain?

 

congrats on 11's! i hope to be there sometime next year but proby wont be mid low 12's works for me

 

Thanks Guys!

Drivetrain- 355 - th350- 4000 stall Pats converter- 9" w/4.30's

Suspension-up front coil-overs with 90-10's and out back stock with a Jegster tq arm

Tires- 28-10 Hoosier slicks 26" front runners

 

sounds like a potent setup got any pics of your car i love the pro star cowl look

 

congrats on the new best time.

 

Thanks! I'll try and post 'em up later...

 

Congrats on the new best. Do you think I can get in that range with my set up?

 

Thanks! I really don't see why not... It will take some time if anything to get the tune right... I still have alot to do myself it just depends on your track and how much time you can change things to see if they are working or not..Like the other night I kept getting low low 12's as usual, but then I bumped the timing 2* and bang it went into the 11's finally... Then my next pass my #4 intake valve decided to drop and that was the end for now lol...

I'll have to go thru some of my cd's for more...

 

good job on the 11s. way faster than i ever run. not like im fast newase. but thats really good.

 

that is a hot car man. 88 sport couple lt? how big is the cowl and those are prostars right? sorry for all the questions but im in love with your car

 

yes, they are prostars and the hood is a 4.5" harwood.

 

it's not an lt, lt's were only available in 87, but still, an 88 sportcoupe is a hard find anyway, lol!

congrats on the times bro! i'm hoping to be way down in the 11's next year sometime

 

didnt kno that

 

Thanks again! You know I didn't even really look at that lol but yes it is a sport coupe..

 

Any idea on the ride height on the front? I really like that stance, I'm installing new trick springs this winter and would like it to set about that level.

Looks good, I'm kinda partial to the cowl/pro-star set up myself

 

I measured to the lip on the wheel well and it measures 25.5" if that is any help to ya...

 

Spray it

 

Actually, I will be I have the kit but I wanted to get as much out of it on motor first then throw the kit on...

 

Quick question, what fuel pump did you decide to run, and do you run a regulator. Right now I run the stock TBI pump with the Mallory return style regulator and I'm looking to upgrade.

 

Keep that puppy together long enough for my backyard built deathtrap come spring time

 

Don't worry it will be back together in the next couple of weeks or so...The motor got a little Hungry and decided to chew on a valve for snack!



Oh yea, and this is what you'll be seeing, so I'll make sure that they are nice and clean!

 

Congrats on the 11's. I'm hoping to get down in the 13's soon. The bug has bitten!

 

Thank you! Good luck with the 13's also, I know what you mean about the bug I can't till '08 myself to get this thing all straightened out tuning wise....

 

Congrats I was pretty dang happy to get that first 11.9X timeslip too this year.

 

Thanks! I am hoping to squeeze out atleast an 11.6 w/tuning before I spray it.

 

Congrats 1QWIKZ, on the 11 sec pass.. i just got my first one in july..

Zacharyhorn, your setup is very capable but i do believe you might need more carb.. and you heads seem a tad on the large side.. but all in all, i think you can hit 11's provided you get good traction.. btw, hows powershifting with that centerforce DF?? if the shifter seems to hit a "wall" drop the trans and pull off the centrifugal weights.. i would always miss shifts then i took the weights off and i rarely miss now.. good luck

 

Congratulations on running the number!

Sorry to hear about the valve, that's never fun. How does the deck of the head look? Piston?

My goals for next year are 12.0-12.1's with the 215/215 cam and a 1.6 60', I don't know if it has 11's in it though.

 

Thanks Again! Actually, the piston just has a little knick which will buff out lol...But, the head will definitely need re-seating for sure and possibly go to a larger vavle like a 2.05....But all in all not too bad I'll upload some pics later...
