That is awesome! I need to come to Steele and check your car out.I haven't seen many modded 5.0's up this way.Do you ever go to Huntsville Dragway?
:beer:
Excellent times and on a cold damp track no less!
I'm looking to pick up an 11 in the next couple of weeks. The results that you and Rebecca have been posting are making me seriously consider the auto trans. I haven't owned an auto in 16 years!!
Was this on all season stock 235/50/18 stock tires? Or summer only? this is pretty amazing btw.
Thats just plain sick kevin.... seriously just a bolt on s/c and tune netted 10's!
Kevin that is great # for having blower and Dr's.
Yes it is, almost too easy. Now no one will care until it runs 9s :beer:
bah! I can see running a 10.80 and being ok. Once you dip into the mid-low 10's the tech guys will send you packing with the quickness. I was totally resigned to not getting a supercharger up until you posted your times. My issue now is the cash outlay for the supercharger and then another grand for a clutch.
Do you manual shift the auto trans or do you let the trans shift automatic?Congrats on the 1/4 mile times.
What rear gears are you running!Thanks
"Stock 3.15s, all that is done to the car is listed in the first post."
Simply amazing.... 3.55's will drop the times literally 2-3 tenths with that set up with all things equal..
First off-- Major congrats on your cars' set up.
This is what I was trying to let everyone know in the GT500 section.. These cars-- with the AUTO, and a roughly $6k purchase and install--- you are running ALL DAY high 10's at 130... You simply can not do that with the GT500 and even 100 EXTRA hp at the wheels. Yeah you might do it once-- with skinnies, slicks, gears, e.t.c.. but these cars --because of the AUTOMATICS in them are just simply very hard to beat in the 1/4 or 1/8th for the money you put into them.
Don't get me wrong-- I LOVE rowing the gears in a power adder car-- but man-- if you go up against a 5.0 with a whipple, Roush, procharger, KB, and it's an auto?? Unless you have 700 at the rear wheels and know how to drive well-- you will get beat most likely to the 1/8th and will have to chase the blown 5.0 down.. And with 130 mph trap speeds becoming VERY normal in these set ups--- it will be tough to catch them.
Very impressive set ups...
I'm from Chicago originally and yes I wouldnt be making a lot of passes running in the 9s without a roll bar, except at Byron
Down South, unless you are running some sort of event ORSCA, NMRA, NMCA, NHRA etc you would be hard pressed to find anyone that will look at your car before you race it. If you keep it straight and parts/fluid lines dont fall off you can run 8s with no roll bar at most of them.
Not at our track. They are sticklers.... 11.49, no roll bar = no run.
