Dragway 42 tonight.. 100mph club?

So Im heading out to Dragway 42 (Seville, Oh) tonight to try to get in the 100mph club...
This is my first time out to the track with all my stage II mods. My car best stageI time/mph was 14.13 @ 100.03. Im really hoping to get in the 13's tonight and obviously run 100mph+.

anyone think Im going to have trouble acomplishing this with these Mods...

2.8'' w/42.5's (i know thats alittle small for 42.5's but it seems to be running great)
Stage1/Stage2 Flash/tune
CAI (K&N)
Gmpp Cat-back
Brand new Bridgestone Potenza sport's all the way around.
And a Working IC Pump lol. Im pretty sure it wasnt working the first time I had the car to the track.

Let me know!

So i did a practice run before the qualifing and i ran 14.3 @ 100.5mph. My 1/8 trap was 75mph. All my other runs i had a 77mph 1/8 trap but i only did 98.95mph? Why does that not make any sense!

Makes sense if your IC pump wasn't working correctly, had massive heat soak from the previous run(s), your shifting was a bit different, or really any reason honestly

I'd go with a hotter IAT2 being the reason for that difference personally, dropping some ice onto your heat exchanger between runs can make a bit of a difference in cooling it down and hence forth your IAT2 temps. A Cryo2 sprayer system would also achieve the same effect but better since it sprays liquid co2 or ice water depending on the kit.

Drove right by that strip when I was in Ohio a few weeks ago, we where on our way to check out norwalk.

Seems like a pretty cool track.

Congrats on hitting 100.

Are your injectors GMS2 42's or Lucas 42.5's? You could probably get away w/ the Lucas injectors on the 2.8 so long as you weren't trying to squeeze everything possible out of the setup. Otherwise, I would recommend picking up some 60lb/hr injectors, which I happen to have a spare set of, lol...

I have lucas 42.5's I would like to stick with those if possible. How much for the 60's? You got a harness?

I don't blame ya on wanting to keep what you've got. The Lucas are fine on a 2.8 so long as you don't go crazy or have a ported head/cams...

If you ever do want to step up, I do have the 60's that I'd let go for $100 shipped. No harness though, sorry...
