Just wanted to let you guys know that I went to the track tonight and ran some new times. Thanks to all of the people that have helped me out on this message board to get my car runin fast. This is a 150 shot of NOS @1,000 psi on Mickey Thompson ET Streets @20 psi.

60'.........1.745
330........4.959
1/8.........7.667
MPH.......90.64
1000......10.003
1/4.........11.976
MPH.......112.97

 

Congratulations on some excellent times n/a and on the juice Joseph.

I have one question for you if you don't mind. Have you performed any weight reductions on the GTA? Or did you just overpower it

I have an '89 still pretty much stock L98 with a 150 shot. This little girl is REALLY heavy though.

Anyway, I know that these times represent a lot of time, blood, sweat and tears so congrats again!

Congrats! Nice to see another 11 second 3rd gen.

 

very nice times!!!

i hope to be in the 13's with a supercharger..

 

hope to see you in the 12's with the supercharger

 

Thanks a lot! I didn't do too much weight reduction. I removed the rear seats, pulled the spare tire and jack out, had under a 1/4 tank of gas. If this is any kind of weight reduction, then consider it so........aluminum heads, aluminum water pump, and aluminum radiator. I also weighed the car at the track. It's 3,700 lbs with me in it (I'm 175 lbs). It's still a heavy car. Good enough to turn 11's for a fully streetable car

 

Exellent. Thanks for the response.

That is somewhat encouraging. Mine is 3850 with me in it but I have a big sub box in the back.

Maybe I'll go on a diet when I do the build up this winter

Enjoy!

Confuscous say poop before you run car it helps. Also race on empty stomach. Evening before run, eat nothing but oodles and noodles. Cut hair short, shave armpits and blow nose.Confusious say...lighter car faster car. Therefore, lighter man is faster man.

 

I never pee before I race, the axiousness makes me cut better lights for some reason.

 

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!
i thought i was the only one! i get such a better consistant reaction time.

 

Who else runs 11's with their 3rd gen?

 

I hope to hit 11's when I go back to a 1/4 mile track. With 125 hp jets I'm running 7.70's in the 1/8 mile with 1.6 60' times. That should be enough for high 11's. If not I'll try out the 150 hp jets.

 

Does 10's count?

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

11.81@121 on goodyear f1's n/a

 

87Z-ya what do you have to run such a good N/A time?

 

In sig

 

Ran a 7.67 @93 mph with a 1.68 60ft over the weekend at a local 1/8 mile. If I did the conversion right it is a its an 11.96. That was with a 100 shot.

I'm one of those "hope to be in the 11's"

I run 12.45 @ 109. I plan on hitting 11's w/ my LT1 intake and the CC306 cam. On the same 100 shot.

Anybody got a 11 sec. daily driver?

 

Mine is Many people don't believe me till I show them the slips I still have the heat and A/C, and all the factory options that were originally in the GTA. It takes me to school and work everyday. That's why I'm shying away from a roll bar. I'll have no place to put my groceries 190,000 miles on the clock and it's my only vehicle

 

Joseph Andres, which crane cam do you have? I'm running a 355 with TRW pistons, ported edlebrock heads and an accell superram with an edlebrock base, headman LT's with true dual 40 series flowmasters. My cam is a powermax 226/234, 114LS. I'm hoping to bust off some 11's with a 100 shot

 

Congrats on getting into the 11's!
I'm in the 10 second club now, soon to be in the 9 second club.

Blown Bird,

Thanks. What are you running? What kind of Roll Bar do you use?

 

I will have no problem getting a high 11 sec pass (all motor), I'm just finishing up the new motor (in sig.) at the moment. I hate waiting on back ordered parts! Fastest ET to date : 12.94 @ 108mph on a G-tech. As soon as I get 500 miles on the beast, I'll scan and post the new timeslips. Although I have no power adders, the car is light and I have alot more work in my combo than I cared to post in my sig. Eventually, I hope to be in the 10's when I get the dough to put gas on the car!

 

Joseph Andres, I have run in the 10's with my last setup, and I am shooting for mid 9's with this new combo. My cage is custom made by Rhodes Custom Auto, located here in Delaware. They make some of the worlds finest bars and cages. All custom made, in chromoly or mild steel, your choice. I figure you only do it once, mite as well do it right!
