8.957 @ 151.6 so there is a new record in town

I just got home from Byron IL and I met a few new people there. It's always nice putting a face with a screen name :hmm:


But the point of the thread is I just went 8.957 @ 151.6

60' 1.349
330 3.738
1/8 5.742
mph 122.46
1000' 7.478
1/4 8.957
mph 151.60

Heres the slips of the day

The last pass is on the left which was leaving on the plate, fogger on in 0.1 seconds. The center one was with the same set up but had traction problems from the ricers going thru the water box. The one on the right was the first pass leaving on the plate with the fogger coming on in 0.6 seconds. I added 1 degree of timing per pass and this is the same jet combo I had at the shootout.

DAMN JAKE! what kind of power is it doing on the jug?

I'm running a .028n/.022f (@ 4.5 PSI) in the fogger and a .055n/.048f (@ 4 PSI) in the plate. The next time out I'm going to put a set .030 jets on the nitrous side of the fogger and leave the fuel pressure and jet the same. If the plugs still have a little color after that I'm going to either put a .060n jet or a .042 jet in the plate.


Haven't had it on the dyno. I would like to get some numbers but haven't felt like spending the money to make some pulls. I think this cam like the bottle.

AWESOME....congrats on being the first.

Thanks. I must say it felt good. Now that I'm leaving on everything that I have I need to make some adjustments and get the sixty foot down in the 1.2x range. With the .6 second delay it left real soft and smooth. On the 8.957 pass it hit the converter better but spun a little and the front end only lifted about 6-8 inches.

damn!! congrats, next time make a video for us

Wow, congrats dude! That has to be one fun ride!

very nice
congrats

I deserve an award

No kidding! I have been cursed! Car has been capable for some time now.

Mike found his recipe for a good combo! Props to him!

Car was dead on yesterday. The one time I forgot to bring a vid cam. Man he was haulin! You should have seen what he was runnin against!

I'm running a hoosier quick time pro. 28X14.5's I may try a 28x10.5W with a stiff side wall if I can find one. On the third pass the car left decent but the sixty foot isn't right. As far as the suspension goes I haven't made any adjusts to it. I put it together with the starting points that Eric from midwest chassis gave me. I called him later trying to see what I need to adjust to make an improvement in the short time. I will be cleaning up the AFR a little and the only other thing I want to do is work on dialing in the suspension.
I still can't get over the fact that I gave it everything right at the line. There was a pretty good cross wind that day to. I think the news said 25-30mph winds.

CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Tony, I know you were going to be going for it. Between you, Tanner, OutlawZ, and Joey the LT1 competition is going strong. I'm just fortunate that this combo is working and coming along as quickly as it has. I'm glad I followed some of the f-body cars and I made some decent choices in the parts I choose. It's not a high dollar car compared to some of them out there, but the sbc's have been running these times for a while. Now I'm wondering if I start practicing the tree if I can get this thing to do some 8.50 index racing next year.

Holy CRAP! Whatta MONSTA!

Congrats on being at the tip of the LT-1 spear.

awesome bro congrads:claps:

Mike what heads are you running?

As I said in the other thread Mike, Way to go!!!! Wish I could have been there to see it.

I'm running a brodix -10 head. They are a converted sbc head. But what most people don't know is brodix will cast there heads for the LT1. It is on a special order deal with about a 4 week wait. The track 1 heads are the shit if you want to stay with a 23* head.

Very impressive dude, congrats.

Awesome Mike. Very well done in being the 1st to break into the 8 second zone :claps:
Make room 'cause there will be a bunch of us joining you soon :devil:

f'n awsome man! way to lead the pack! first LT1 on nitrous in the 8's, no one can ever take that away from ya! :metal:

:whistle:



:D


:secret:

Mike--what rpm did you go through the traps at, or was it a blur for you? I just want to know if it has any more top end in it with the gearing you have in it.

I don't know for sure about the rpm but it should be no problem to trap 160 or so. I can always raise the rev limiter a little if I had to. I think it's set at about 8200 right now.

LOL! 8200??? Thats alot of rpm

I try to shift about 7500-7800 but I felt the nitrous shut off just as a shifted Sunday on the 9.10 pass. The window switch is set for 3200-8000rpm.



Cam is 268* int 280* exhaust.

Where has Jason/OutlawZ gone to latley? haven't seen any post from him in awhile.

sorry to jack your thread man...:doh:

Congrats Mike.

Outlawz is over seas helping to keep america safe. I think he will be making some passes in July.
