I had planned on going but the Camaro is still in the shop awaiting the cam/head swap.

I would have loved to line them up. I will probably go and watch some races for a little bit.

Take it easy on the first runs then drop the hammer and get kicked out. That is what I did last time. I ran all motor(12.1) for a couple of runs then squeezed a 50 shot(11.8 letting off the gas) and got warned because I was close to he 11.5 limit without cage.

What did you end up running? I got there late so I did not get to see you make any runs.

[aet08]

ran 11.718

Had a really hard time getting traction, my tires were inflated to 32 PSI, will need to try again in a couple of weeks with tires at 20psi.
I let off the gas after I hit 100mph

Raced against a GTR with modded ECU

I am on the right 0808 time slip (attached).

[aet08]

Someone tried to record the run for me, but the battery died on the camera, so I only got the burnout... never heard how sick my car sounds from outside.

That's funny they never said anything to me. I know I need at least a roll bar, but I've never been warned or told anything.

[aet08]

During inspection, if you tell them you are running faster than 11.5, they will say you need a roll cage. I told them I was going to run a 12.5 knowing well with a good run I would be in the 10s

[Inferno LSX]

LOL. I told the tech 12.5s. She looked at me and said "really". I told her I'm still learning how to drive stick shift! It pays to play dumb sometimes. Last time at Fontana I consistently ran around 11.7-11.8 and no one said anything.

After my 11.8 they mentioned the 11.5 rule then after the 11.7 run they said I would need a roll bar soon.

I tell them I run 12's also. It is when you pick up the slip that they notice what you really run.

Looking at your slip you might have a 10 in her but your mph is low given that you let off. My runs from last year would have been a good match to you and Inferno's 11.7-11.8's.

I did the same thing on the 11.8 run and got 111mph but on the 11.7 run it was 120mph.

Here are the slips. BTW, I lost to a supercharged 2010 Camaro, lol.

AET08 --- Your sixty foot isn't in the 10 second range 1.99 almost 2.0.... yeesh...... I would check that......... 60' times are a much better predictor of a fast - vs - slow ET. If you run 1.9's all day.... Good luck with that 10 second run... pfff
32lbs is not a good pressure to run your DR's, if you have DR's... I dont know, but I would start at 25 or lower. If your making 900+HP... I would have some serious tires to back up all that power. What is the point of making all that power if it has nowhere to go?

[Inferno LSX]

I think the lowest I've gone on my DRs is 18PSI. It dropped my 60's but also dropped my trap speed.

[familycaronROIDS!]

The lowest I've ran my Hoosier DR's 16psi.

Yike's for 950rwhp you should be in the 10's who did your work?

The last time I ran was at the L.A Invasion 2011

11.4@121 cammed and 100 shot of NOS.
