Some good runs!

 

Told you I wouldn't disappoint!

 

I need to get a camera for this challenger race.

 

Monoprice action cam $80. Works awesome. Get one.

 

Was there 5 Football players and 2 kegs of beer in the car?

 

Damn that tvs ion rolls out good vid and races

 

Never tried that cam, but craigslist generally has gopros for cheap and the suction cup mount has held on a plane at speeds over 200mph.

 

Driver Mod would be my guess. In peak conditions they supposedly trap 112, iv yet to see a stock one trap that with my own eyes. They shine in the 18th, and kinda suck top end, so if the driver goofs the launch its all over. I heard him my door and was shocked when he didn't pass me.

This guy was doing pretty good tho , low 11s high 10s

A plane at what altitude??

 

He would have to be pretty bad..

I was in one that did a 12.4 @ 114 stock, 200 feet above sea level, 70 ish degrees out.

The best trap i've ever seen out of an M62 LSJ was a 108, and it had everything under the sun and E 85..


From what ive seen the 392 have great top end. Above 100 mph they pull away from 5.0 Mustang with 3.73 gearing

 

Iirc it was one of the trick planes they use in the red bull air competitions so not that high of altitude

 

Well I've had the monoprice cam suction cupped to my car in excess of 140. At sea level where the air is dense lol

 

90% sure it was driver mod.But i didn't get to see his slip. i beat him on the light, he caught up around the 330 then i pulled a fender on him and held it to the trap. I totally expected him to pull me. its close enough to be a drivers race when you count RT and how well either gets off the line. everyone was complaining about being 1-4mph slower that night as well. my best trap so far has been 108 on a 2.85 when the DA was low(low 100s) now thats its hot and humid DA 1500-2000+ iv switched to 2.7 and played with fueling and timing and managed 108.5 so i think i might be around 109-110 when the DA drops again.

 

That's a very high trap for an M62, im impressed.

He probably ran a mid to high 13 on that run. Definitely needs driver mod.

Anyways a stock 392 should pull on an M62 cobalt, no matter what's done to it.

Especially from a roll.

 

Back in the M62 days I trapped 109.7mph with a filter, full exhaust, 2.7 on 80's and a tune that was my first E85 tune I had ever done that was considered conservative now days. I'll have to try to run a 392 in my M62 winter car now with a ported head and cams, should be a good run.

 

Should not be to hard to make that happen. Just hang around Blarneys and wait for your buddy in that challenger to pass by

 

On the way back from the cabin last weekend I saw one parked in a driveway and I was in the gray car. Damn near pulled in and asked if he wanted to run

 

Lmao...."excuse me sir you don't know me, but I noticed your car and I would sure like to try and hand you your ass in it if possible, what says you old chap"

 

Haha he would probably be like "Is this what people do in the city?"

 

That would have been hilarious

 

that tvs ion was a surprise

 

I think people have seen too many improperly setup TVS cars, so when one comes along that performs they are all surprised! Its basically my old setup but on the stock head and stock cams and only revving to 7400. FWIW, last year on my TVS setup I could pull just a tad on the integra

 

I wouldn't say no matter whats done to it. What if its stroked or spraying. Lol.

108-110 seems to be a normal trap on a tuned,bolted cornfeed lsj.

Maybe weather effects thoes cars alot more than fi cars. Da was around 1500ft.

 

So Im home now...got some maintenance I need to do before setting up the race. I heard that he might throw some mods on his car. The plot thickens

 

Aw he scared of a little cobalt?
