Hey there...right on. Yea, there's nothing like dropping the top and cruising to the track...bring the top up, tech in, and throwing down some low 11s. Ah, you should come out to MIR with us for our annual Modern F-Body Shootout that will be held on the 19th of April. Click here for more details on it: http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/events/mf-bs03/
This season will be a big change for my slug though. Got the motor in a lot of pieces as I'm going through a new build. 11.3 at 124.8 wasn't enough. I'm determined to go 9s in a couple of years and I'm focused on this goal. This season though my goal is to come out on mid to low 10s.

needless to say I haven't seen many of our color combo cars out there
Yea, it's been very hard for me to find other Ceyenne Red Camaros. I've only run across 3 since my purchase back in 97. I do like the Patriot Red as well...nice color.
I got a Vector/Powerdyne unit for Christmas. I'm waiting to get off my lazy butt and get some forged internals and stiffer valve springs before I install it. I'm hoping to get into the low-mid 13's afterwards....

New time: 11.9@117(7.8 1/8 mile)and 12.0@119 at around 80deg. I should be down a half a sec or so when I learn to do a decent burn out(they wouldn't let me run w/o a rollbar after the 11.9)and replace my sliping tranny :-)

I'm surprised that any NHRA or IHRA track allowed you to run deeper than 13.9 without a rollbar.
You might as well invest in a "firejacket" as well.

Yea, those damn 2.73:1 gears really need to get yanked out of there and set yourself up with either 3.73:1 (auto) or 4.10:1 (manual). Don't be skuuuur'd.

Come on down to Atlanta drag way. Everybody i know knocks off a few tenths at any other track they run though. I run 12.5s all night long in the heat on motor but could only get a 11.9 on a 150 shot.ha ha. I think i will see atleast 1 mid to low 11 run next time i go. Alan

Gonzo you are so right about the rollbar as I do not get to run my vert much because of that only way I get in a run is at a track they don't know the car. best run got in so far before made to leave the track was RT .74 60ft 1.74 1/8th 8.1-88.9mph 1/4 11.64-126 mph and yes I am seeing some nice times for our verts Posts: 737 | From: Siler City N.C. | Registered: Sep 2003

Nice run but that's one odd looking timeslip. We run similar 1/8 times but after that you pick up some crazy mph. How much juice you putting to that car and when are you spraying it?

The 1/8 was off the motor and I spray in third mostly with a 125 shot. I am running most bolt on and all the free mods and a LPE custom grind cam and heads Posts: 737 | From: Siler City N.C. | Registered: Sep 2003
