Very Nice Run

1.5X 60' and the car squats nicely... way to go...

Nice runs Padre!
Did you have to pedal it at the top of first or is that wheelspin I hear on the shift?

Thanks.

The track was hooking great, my MTs are well seasoned, and no front sway bar - all worked to make a 2200 launch possible.

Yep, chirped the 1-2 shift

, using the CTS-V tranny parameters.

Awesome. Sounds good! I've dropped the ball on mine for now. Got other projects going on. Be back on it when summer is over.

AWESOME TIMES!

Padre, are you running a trans cooler, if so, which one?

Not yet, we couldn't fit it in front of the intercooler, so still considering options. I might end up routing it in the rear.

New video, a montage of several 10-second launches:

Great job Padre, glad you were able to figure it out. I can't wait until I can get my car to run close to those numbers.

Corbeau 5-point harnesses going in as I type.

Ready to pass tech tonight!

Keep up the great work Padre! I hope to have a similar setup soon!

Won the Quickest ET for street legal cars during the Year One Fast Friday's Power Hour last night at Atlanta Dragway, Commerce, GA:

Last night I ran two 11.1's, FIVE 11.0x's, and two 10.9x's.

Best was:

10.954 @ 125.60, 1.641 sixty
7.039 @ 100.25 1/8th.

Car was 150lbs heavier (cage, passenger seat, gas). I had to go fill up with gas

because the bucking problem came back at less than 1/2 a tank.

Fun night! Love the new cage and harness. Thanks to the gang at APF for getting it together for me this week.

The car looks awesome. What did you have to do to make the wheels fit on the front?
