Back from the track!!! New User Name Request!!!!

[12secondv6]

My request for new username is.......
12secondv6willneverbecome11secondv6becausehespinsa llthedamntime!!!!!!

Sigh, it is what I expected.
Skinnies at 42 psi
BF drag's at 17 psi
Race weight of 3330 pounds
I was 120+ pound heavier than normal.
Extra weight came from passenger front seat, 2 nitrous bottles, jump pack etc.

Engine temp was up around 210, typically I keep it around 165-170. Outside temp was T shirt weather so it was much warmer outside. I was having starter/ battery in trunk issues and I had to keep the car running for prolonged periods of time.

I spun EVERY SINGLE run!!!!

This run would have given me new best times but top end the car died and check engine light came on flashing and codes P0300 and P0336 came up :( Again, I spun a lot!

Well, not wanting to wuss out in the High Performance Pontiac Event I turned the bottle off and ran n/a

aftermarket torque arm!

get suspesion along with those tires.

[nino]

if the admin says that name you request is too long, try "cause" instead of "because" in the name.
:D
and i too was expecting to read um well you know uh that number before 12---secondV6

[12secondv6]

I didn't expect 11's on drag's
I am happy about the 12.5's though.
I had many things against me.
I have patience.....but it is wearing thin!!!

[Mighty Thor]

Other than the bad conditions and your spinning, those are still awesome times. Both juice and NA are great.

[12secondv6]

Oh yeah, 2 more people recognized me from the magazine article!!! :D

[Scott T]

Sorry to hear that you didn't hit 11's. I was trying to be positive but I guess it didn't work lol. I'm sure you'll hit them someday.

[Camarorulz]

Those 12.5s are really good times. As you said, you weren't expecting 11s on those tires, so don't be too disappointed. I bet you can get traction with the et streets and hit 11s, good luck.

[WickEdSix9838]

time for some slicks!!!

[slacker69]

Im thinkin with the light weight car and amount of nitrous. I think you should upgrade to a 26-10.5/16 ET drags.

[Seppo Kaitainen]

I wish I could "spin" to a 1.7 60'.

[slacker69]

When i spray i hook to a 1.6 everytime when im useing the 100 shot i havent had a problem with hooking yet but my car also weights closer to 400 lbs more than james's car.

[12secondv6]

Sometimes I just get bummed out because I race w/ Ls1's that have: heads n cam, nitrous, turbo, supercharger, stroker motor and so on (or even a combo of them) and everyone is in the 11's.

ET streets will be ordered shortly.
I haven't decided between 26 x 10.5 x 16's or 26 x 11.5 x 16's.

I might be going back asap in n/a condition but back to hard core light weight set up

[nosv6]

do the 10.5's, 11.5's will absolutely kill your mph's. may not seem like much but it will be.
