Well im still sitting here in disbelief....If you arent familar with the car ,this is on a bone stock 98' 88k mile 5.7l LS1 shortblock,

-stock casting 5.3l heads, EFI /w stock LS1 PCM, moderate camshaft (233/239), Victor JR EFI intake /w sheetmetal elbow /w 90mm throttle body, 28" M&H Slicks, 3.73 gear, th350 /w EDGE custom converter (stalls around 3k on footbrake)

I ran my car friday in the 102 degree heat and went 10.07 @ 134.9 mph...with a pretty weak 1.6 60ft leaving off idle and standing on it.

I didnt race qualifying yesterday and left my car out there in a friends pit. I showed up out there about noon today, since I didnt qualify I wasnt on the ladder to race. But they let me make a single pass even though they werent doing a open/test lane...

I put the 100 rwhp jets (125hp flywheel) in the single NX fogger. I figured ill crack off a sure thing 9 second pass and get kicked out since car isnt certed in the 9's yet.

Weather was 103 degrees, 130+ deg track temp...another horrible slow, 4000 Density Altitude day. Most faster cars were off 3-4 tenths due to greasy hot track and crazy hot.

Results:

Left on the WOT switch hard as I could , Car spun REALLY HARD for about 75 ft, peddled/got out of it and short shifted 2nd gear and it hooked up and it just TRAINED out the back door to a 141mph! It actually went a tenth slower than the pass on friday at the 1/8th mile...so this thing has some mid-low 9's in it when I work out the suspension to leave on the t-brake /w spray (needs to go 1.3 60 foots)

Sad part....since it spun horrible and wasnt really a clean pass. It went 10.01 @ 140.2.... I was like "Are you kidding me! Im cursed to not click off a 9'sec pass in this car"


This corrects to a 9.67 @ 146 and I think its got a 9.30-9.50 in it with no changes on a great winter day in the coming months (dec/jan) and more mph because I feel it wasnt nearly as clean of a pass as it could have been...Also I plan to up the jets another 50hp after I get a couple more passes in and get the car hooking hard.

Car was about 2760 race weight /w bottle/lines/brackets etc in the car.

Timeslip (which ill scan and upload tommorrow at work):

60ft - 1.617
330 - 4.326
1/8 - 6.522
mph - 112.21
1000 - 8.411
1/4 - 10.014
mph - 140.20

Factory as cast 5.3l heads, stock rocker arms and lifters.

Car is certed to 8.50, 10-pt moly 1-5/8" cage.



No races coming up locally for several months after tomorrow.

Hoping for the one last hurrah' tomorrow on the stock short' then im swapping to a simple forged 346" motor with some our stg 2.5 CNC 5.3l heads, smaller blower cam, ported FAST 92mm intake and a Procharger LSx Cog Drive F2 kit ive had sitting in the box for it. Ive also got to get it in paint shop /w parachute-sheetmetal wing etc in a couple weeks.

I'd really like to run 8.50's in the car on unleaded /w meth within a few months. Just got new tags for it! so time to start driving it on the street while the track is closed...
