One of your banned members is about to take #1 for N/A non-stock displacement!

So Dietcoke got the 429 out yesterday...

10.847 first pass! Hit the limiter on 2-3 shift and was a little soft on launch.

Got warned for no cage so he planned to run to 1/8th. Adjusted shift points and hit the brakes but ran a 11.41 @ 88 Got the boot...

Picked up over 2 tenths in 1/8th though!

Easily has 10.3's in it...maybe 10.2's!

It's not going to be as easy as you think. I doubt he will go much faster than 10.4's.
I'll be back at the track in the next month and fully plan on running 9.8's n/a.

He has about a .15-.20 to pick up in the 60' and he even picked up over .2 to 1/8 without picking up 60'. I truly see solid 10.3's in it.

And looking forward to see some 9's from you! I'll search for your build...

My current setup is not online anywhere. When it's back on the ground running I'll talk more about it.

How did he get banned over here?

Getting banned is usually the same on any forum...say something negative to admin or a sponsor and they freak.

A 1.6 60' is pretty good. Will be interesting to see its full potential. A lot of Camaros have really stepped it up this year. Nice job !

Might want to work on the dead reaction time though.

A 2 Step perhaps?
