Getting the car back Thursday, Ted wants to make sure everything is right. Can't wait.

Yes all stock except for the injectors, ADM pump controller, and the kit.

If I add meth to that it looks like I could go to 800.

Breaking is the operative word. Pat is in the 10s (with no further changes) and I broke my diff chasing his times.

See my run below.

Here is my review of the JRE work:

"I defintely can feel the torque and the power coming on sooner. Like a push in the back. It was overpowering the goodyears a little, even warm. The car runs better than it ever has overall, even off the boost.

But I am not letting it go yet. I need another 150 miles of cyclic driving before I can drag race with the new clutch. So if the rain holds out I will take care of that tomorrow on my way to Island Dragway.

The Centerforce DYAD is amazing. The effort is less than stock. Now that it is almost broken in, it is getting smoother. JRE changed out my trans oil and the shifting is noticeably smoother.

Also adding the cradle bushings, adjustable toe rods, and a 4 wheel track oriented alignment has the car driving as on rails. It was a rush driving the hills on the back roads of Connecticut with my new setup on the way home.

All in all now I am excited to turn the key. JRE did a grat job improving my car, helping me make educated decisions, and fixing a number of little problems.
"

My description of last night:

"I did get in a few runs. I tried all three of my boost settings. 1 @ 7 pounds, 2 @ the 10# boost setting my car was dynoed at, and 3 including my last at another 10# level with a different gain and duty setting recommended by Kevin.

All night I was getting faster each time making it easier to get into the 11s even with a 2.0 60' at the higher boost settings, and even though the DA was high for Atco. Both of the 10# settings felt really good, but number 3 felt a little better up top. I did log my passes on my AEM gauge, but I don't have the heart to go dump the log yet.

On that last run the launch felt really good for the first 30'. No wheelhop or spin, just hook. I was up against a really fast old VW GTI with a V6 and a centrifugal. The track was well prepped and I was dead on the slick line. (No cones last night.) At least my break was dry and I didn't hold up the racing for long. It was already late.

The AAA flatbed driver was cool and we had a nice chat on the drive home. He also was a speed freak with a Hayabusa. I had to admit I sold my Kawasaki 1400 to pump up my 1LE. Went with the five star crash rating. Too many people texting in thier lap. Spotted a guy next to us doing it at 50 MPH.

Now, do I spend more big $$ or stop drag racing with this car?

Many thanks to AGP and JRE. Both highly recommended."


My final run last night:
(That fast little GTI beat me by over 7 minutes and this was a very slow run for him! Glad I treed him. Even sitting still I had a big jump on him. He was toast. But now he has a Camaro TT Kill in more ways than one.)

You can upgrade to the zl1 diff, axles, and drive line.. but it is only 3.73. It is on the gm performance online catalog.

3.73s would be okay with me. It's the 4K+$$ scaring me.

You won't be changing it again though.. With your potential hp it would be a must have for me.. people are running 1000+ hp and no failures.. I bet cheaper in the long run.. plus I get no wheel hop what so ever with this axles..

Damn, that sucks dude. Great read and seems like you have some friendly competition going on, which is always fun. Hope you fix the car and get back to running!
