And who cares if I take out my seats? Lol it's not even all that much weight added up

different track and different weather? Heck I've seen .5 to .6 swings just due to the weather!

Fastest FI is HDRS.... Yes, I consider Nitrous as FI....

So you're saying you ran a 12.1 @ over 120mph on the stock IPF set up with no other real supporting mods? Yeah I find that nearly impossible to believe for a number of reasons. Mainly that would be nearly a full second faster than any other SC V6 AND the fact that the V6 has serious fuel supply issues past 5-6 psi of boost. Looking at that time slip it seems much more likely that you ran that 13.x time. But I'm purely using logic here. I mean Cant_C_Me and Gretchen have more powerful setups than the stock Rx/IPF supercharger set ups and they aren't running that fast, plus they have WAY more supporting mods.

Unless of course I'm reading your time slip incorrectly, then ignore the above.

I dont know how much the backseats weigh but, I want to see your time with backseats & stock wheels.

Bigger belt? lol what. He has stock pulley so the belt size is the same.. The back seats weigh ~30lbs, so that is at best good for a .03 improvement, assuming you factor in the widely accepted 100 lbs = .1 (I'm sure scrming enjoys that math problem I just did)

I've posted my run before when I had my OD pulley which was high 13's, but as everyone knows that was due to the fuel system failing to keep up past 6-7 psi of boost, and I was making 10 psi at peak. I mean I can post that and I would technically be on the bored, heck I may do just that.

So? Thought we were talking about 1/4 times (spoiler alert it's much less than most other FI set ups)?

I'm very confident it can be repeated. What I'm saying is.. IPF the manufacturer of the system ran the 13.0 while all of the owners of the system were running slower.

I agree, this is turning into a civil war within the V6 community when this should be about beating other cars or even our big brother V8. However I do not think this blood feud will be over anytime soon.

Drag radial were used, LFX supports fuel delivery better. I am running 7 psi boost. It pulls strong, I have had others in the car and they can attest to the performance, maybe they will chime in. I know what it does, I do not care if others do not believe it or not. I am happy with my car and that is all that matters. Its how the car is set up, supporting mods or not, you have to have them work together to get them to work, you have to have that one launch where everything goes right. I have not been able to repeat it, hell I can barely get under 12.9 most of the time, but it hooked, I went and the end result was spectacular. The Vortech unit is capable of much more, it is used in V8 cars producing much more HP and boost than me. Its all good. Fuel and tune are just obstacles to be overcome and dealt with. if a nitrous car can get to a 11.8 or a 12.0 with a 125 shot, why wouldn't it be possible with boost making more HP than that.

Hopefully we can get back to friendly competition... we're all driving the same car. Just have fun with it.

The V6 Fast Lists have really been neglected. I've dropped the 1/8 mile one from the sticky as it hasn't been updated in 2 years. It is linked in the OP of the 1/4 mile list in case you guys want to bring it back.

Since Baylor Camaro has been taking care of the 2nd and 3rd post I gave him the OP as well.

I love to hear the smak talking and we're definitely in for some good racing next weekend. But the manufacturers for both of these FI systems are class acts so just because you're on one side or the other please keep it light and pull for each other to get the most out of these cars. They worked hard to bring FI to the V6 community and you guys are ones experiencing both the hickups and the successes as well.

Completely believable in my book.... I've been saying for a long time, that these SC or TC cars need to be low 12s...

Again, my 5000 pound, completely unaerodynamic Brick went 12.72... put that same setup in a 5th Gen and it would be like an 11.7.... so the thought that you ran a 12.17 isn't out of the realm of believable for me... even if it was a complete hero run... perfect weather, tail wind, car at perfect temp., etc...

Because nitrous is a whole other beast. Based on the DA of that run it was 1,507. Maybe if the DA was 0 or negative it might make sense, but c'mon I find it hard to believe that the supercharger at 7 psi of boost is running 12.1x in 1,507 DA environment. EVEN if the LFX fuel pump is fine at 7 psi of boost (which it probably is) 7 psi of boost is not enough to get it 12.1, imho when looking what everyone else is doing.

Actually no, I think you'll find anyone that has been to the drag strip will say 2.1 isn't "hooking." That is average.

No doubt, I think everyone here can agree (and that would be a first) that both of these companies have gone great lengths for us and for that we should all be thankful.

But it wasn't the DA was over 1,500

[sycraft]

Thank you scrmng, yes a hero run it was, engine cool Weather ok. Yes my 60 ft was a little off, but it hooked and took off. I hope to repeat it, but until then, I am happy. for the disbelievers, lets have a little faith in what our cars are capable of. There will much faster v6 cars yet to come...

Hell yeah...

Quite sure you'll make it out again soon and back it up..

[sycraft]

I hope and I can back it up one day, I have been unable to get below 12.9 since. So if you want to say it is a 12.9 car, I am fine with that, I know what the slip says.

[Macrackie]

Wow...kinda turned into a b$%&h fest. I called out some bikes just like op did the other day for a few year end grudge match's that we held at da groove in wisconsin today. We all had a blast and I was almost the slowest of the six bikes. What the hell is wrong with you frickin whiny ass's. Op just looking for somene to race is all.

If we wanna stary making side bets I put 50 peanuts on and ipf car. (Sorry op). ;-)
