Thank you for resurrecting this old thread
Otherwise, I may have never had the chance to read it. Your car is rather special IMO. 724rwhp at altitude on 91, and 34K on the built odometer
.
I hope that chaos is not family or health related...
I also hope to see some new track times. I can't help but feel you have been denied some kind of affirmation.
Those Nittos suck IMO. And track prep will make or break you. You have probably already figured that out... I had seen where you had mentioned using MTs everyday. I would consider something like Continental extreme contact DWS.
Instead of race fuel, have you ever considered Torco?
When I first went to the track, my car laid down a low 9 in the 1/8th with an automatic
We only have a 1/8th track here. It is not like I do not know how to drag race. I did a lot of it 30 years ago. After learning a few things about the car and several more trips to the track, I slowly dropped those ETs without doing any mods to the car. Bone stock, on the factory GYs, I ran a 7.99. With MTs, and a CAI I ran a 7.29 with torco and everything else stock including the tune. That should be 11.4 territory in the 1/4. I do not want to go on about my car. I just want to gain a bit a credibility with you before I suggest the following...
Buy a cheap pair of wheels...maybe even replicas, and mount up a pair of MT/DRs. Let them down to 18 psi cold (track only). Leave the car in tour, but hold the traction control down for 10+sec until you have defeated traction and stabilitrak (nannies). However, in my experience, everything has not been completely defeated. Also remove number 40 and 43 fuse. Your stirring will lose a little bit of power assist. I don't intend for this to happen, but it just seems to be part of it. However, it works. Do a John Force burn out. Launch that car like it is serious
If the track is just reasonably prepped, you will be well on down into the 10s.
Our track has rules too, but I only run on test and tune nights. They do not pay any attention to how fast I run. There is no way in hell I'm installing a roll bar, drive shaft loop, etc... And slicks...it aint happening. My car is a daily driver.
BTW, I never saw your cam specs...
