I put some 28x9x15 MT Drags on the car, along with Metco ICM brackets and Air Bags, and went back the Beech Bend yesterday. I didn't change the tuning (still at 9.19-9.44:1), or boost (still at 25lbs) since my last run (10.33 @ 137). Only the tires and suspension mods.
Here's the slip:
60ft 1.59
330 4.22
1/8 6.42
1/8mph 112.22
1000 8.33
1/4 9.95
1/4mph 138.90
The car was still REAL loose through the 330, but gained alot of traction after that as compared to the 26x9x15 Hoosiers I was running before.
I don't know what it weighs, but I would assume pretty close to 3700lbs (I'm 205). It still has cold AC, heat, etc. Pics are here: http://www.LS1Motorsports.com/Project-87TurboBuick.asp
The only weight reduction I've done is removed the front sway bar (added an ATR rear) and spare tire. And I ran on a full tank of gas. Over the winter I'll add a cage and more suspension, and hopefully be competitive in the TSE class next year.
Thanks again to Lonnie Diers for the "sexy" buildup of my 200R4 tranny. If you're thinking about building an OD trans for your 9 second car....I highly recommend giving him a call, 513-226-1315. The shifts have been flawless.
