Had to go one last time - Broke into 12s

[xcdarrel17]

After my last trip http://forum.camarov6.com/showthread.php?t=98616 was so close I had to go back one more time.

Left lane. Car 59.


This was the best run of the day. I ran 3 other 12.8s and a couple of 13.1s. Threw in a 63 jet which is about 120-125 shot. Ran race gas and took off front sway to free up some weight and allow weight transfer to back better. I was still running pig rich in the 10s afr for most of the runs, but didn't have the time to do any maf calibrating which is what it needed, ltft were throwing it off. I was also still running a full 2.5 inch exhaust, which I think is signficant since there are many people that think you need 3 inch to run any power. I was very happy with this, I knew it had 12s in it, but I didn't think I could break that far into them.
There were a ton of crazy fast cars there. I know it's only T&T, but it's nice to beat the person next you too. I was running 12s and low 13s all day and don't think I won a single time, lol. Not that there wern't slower cars there, I just never got lined up against them.

yea here I race v8s all day, every once in awhile a gtp will be in the staging lanes, but the rest are all trailer queens. It is quite intimidating when you can't hear your car running in the staging lanes because you have v8s next to you with open headers blasting. ha

I know it. It sucks to feel your car rattling and know it has nothing to do with your own engine.

Re: Had to go one last time - Broke into 12s

yea and my QTP elect. cutout was not working so I was running closed cutout, I wanted to hear it next to them with the cutout open, lol. I know mine is loud as all get out as well with the cutout open. I have to wait till spring now though as the local track is closed for the winter and construction. they are tearing up a bunch of asphalt and replacing it with concrete to prevent moisture from rising through it

Re: Had to go one last time - Broke into 12s

haha...I know, I used to have to look at my tach gauge to figure out if I had my car turned on or not....cause I sure as hell couldnt hear it/feel it lol....This year I got lined up with alot more cars I could beat...infact I blew alot of cars out of the water this year...and the odd vette I did run, I didn't loose by tooo much....thats usually because my r/t is through the roof...I usually cut between 0.05-0.16 ...the faster cars I ran this year were all closer to .8 or so...so that closed the gap up quite a bit for me...still would loose by a good 6-8 cars though lol

Re: Had to go one last time - Broke into 12s

My gf even commented how she couldn't even hear my car. Just another thing to add to list as to "wtf am I doing modding a v6".

Re: Had to go one last time - Broke into 12s

Yes I know this is an old thread.

A word to anyone new to running nitrous and reading this, A .063 jet is a 180 HP shot, not a 125.

.063 is what I was using in my dry kit. It's 125 all day on nearly any calculator.

Re: Had to go one last time - Broke into 12s
