Looks like I'll be heading out there for the Friday Street legal drags.
Probably be at least me and bigolred heading up to see what the cars can do.
I will be taking it easy on the car just to see how it's running as I don't feel like breaking anything right now as I'm in the process of buying a house and have no money to waste on the car. figure it should go 12.2 @120mph on an easy launch and light shifting.
Bring your cams, bring your friends, and bring your cobalts. Lets take this place over.

you'll still be rediculously far from me, but my boy from down there might be taking a road trip up to visit in the spring, so if you're down there, might as well take the trips

good **** man, hes doing a ton of research on the car, plus I'm giving him some pointers (I had a low 10sec FC3S back in the day)
but anyway, bump for the tri-state peeps

well things didn't go too good last night. All I gotta say is Man Down!
My car made it back in one piece though somehow.
Well to start off, WOT box would not work, I have no idea why, but hasn't been working right all week. 2-Step only activated one time the whole night. Also car wouldn't go into 3d gear at all the entire night (I think I got it in once on the 1st try) I'm uploading some vids now, but nothing good. Best run of the night was a 13.1 @116mph with a 2.243 60'. did beat a C6 Z06 though, We were dead even til I hit 3rd gear then I just pulled away from him lol.
I was running 104 octane unleaded in the car and boosting 22.4 psi (made 414whp @20.5psi) so estimates on hp would have been in the 430-440whp range. Car is definitely an animal, but need to fix a few things today and figure out what is wrong with it.
I'm uploading a few shitty vids right now, I'll update when they are ready

lol yeah, just wish the damn car would shift. Obn my last pass it took literally about 2-3 seconds to get it into 3rd gear. I was pretty pissed, still trapped 110mph lol
yeah if the wot box was working It would have been 120+ but big turbo's don't like being granny shifted. It was killing my times and my traps.
going out to fix it in a bit. Shifter cables are stretched and out of adjustment (just confirmed this) and my clutch switch randomly works, so gotta fix that too.... but all and all I was happy with the way the car pulled. Probably be back out at e-town in a few weeks to really open her up. This was more of a shakedown day since the car drives completely different. I will say this. race gas + 22.5psi = spinning 3rd and 4th gear on the highway lol
