11.922@118.something. That was missing fourth gear. It took a second to get it in which explains why it was my slowest trap speed of the weekend. My short times sucked a bit as well, I didn't have time to swap on my Nitto drags, so I ran with my hard-ass 17's instead. I was pretty happy with the car, but the tranny problems really slowed me down. My cleanest passes were shifting at about 7200 and babying the tranny into 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I won't have this problem next spring. :bounce:

Nice time. What turbo are you running? What boost?

You should dyno at elite this saturday. Then you will have a chance to move the list up.

Gratz on the 11 Steve! Sounds like you need some dyno time or something though. 118 traps for 30 psi on a red seems a little low. Andy ran 122 on a 20g at 30 psi and I ran 123 on a 50 trim at 26 psi. Maybe you need some HKS cams? Anyway, gratz again and I am glad to see there is going to be more competition next year!!

He ran 123 mph short shifting the tranny. 118mph was his worst trap.

Actually I ran 122 trap at 26psi. I have yet to make a pass at 30psi.

Ahh, that is much better. I thought I had heard 123, but Steve didn't mention anything about it.

Andy, didn't you say you were running 30 psi at RF when you ran the 11.2? I thought for sure you were. Was it tapering off again?

The car was running pretty good, if not still a bit conservative. As I mentioned a few times, my tranny was really bad, to the point where I missed a few gears on some passes, and ran down a few muscle cars trapping 15-20 mph less than me. I know it's bench racing, but with a good tranny, it would've been much faster.

I'm still missing some power though, some wideband tuning would work wonders. I only tuned at the track based on the crappy stock 02 sensor and reading plugs. I've already got the 272's. Unfortunately I won't be able to perfect this setup since this motor is coming out and going to be sold soon, and I'm building up something a little more exciting for next year. :3gears:
