Darn good run!

I was pretty impressed that it launched that good on an 18 inch drag radial.

[SVTdubs]

sounds blown? If he learned how to drive, that is a 10 second car!!! SWEET

Imperial Pose:
I notice you have the 16lb pulley on your KB.. do you have any belt slippage issues?

00SVTdubs:
It has a ProCharger on it. I agree, if he could shift a bit better and maybe get a slick or ET street on it, it would definitely go 10's.

[robiferretti]

sounds like he hit the rev limiter

 

[Imperial Pose]

do you have any belt slippage issues?

Not that I'm aware of.
There is a bit of belt dust, but with the idler, it's wrapped real tight.

I'm going to have to get an idler pulley for the shop car at work, because it is making about 16 lbs and it slipped on the dyno once and a few times on the street.

Do you have the billetflow pulley?

does sound like he forgot to shift into 2nd for a second
still thats hauling. Nice run

 

[wannacobra]

that was sick if he had a better rt than it would have been even better

Reaction time dont matter on your ET.
He could have sat there for 10 seconds and still ran a 11.1.

The clock dont start till your front tire crosses the front beam.

Hey that's George! He's the man. Such a nice guy that just loves beating the shit out of his cars. Bought my drag radials off him and raced with him many times this year.

That's one fast bastard of a car. The problem is we always get stuck at shitty tracks. We always go to Milan and he runs like 11.90-12.20; Lapeer like 11.70-11.90. Wonder what I'd run at the track he pulled 11.1 at...he's usually a good .3 tenths faster than me. Hell, I'd kill for an 11.4 :lol1:

Sweet vid.:beer:

Fast vette

This vid raises a question. I've always been told that every 1/10th of a second is a carlength. Now I know we can't go by the camera angle, but an 11.1 compared to a 13.0 should be a whopping amount of distance. I didn't see that. The Camaro seemed to launch well and didn't get BLOWN away like I thought it would. Weird.
