Old car went 12.16@109 in much hotter than 80* weather, with a bad actuator. Only made 19psi, fell off in 3rd gear through the traps.
Would run consistant ET's all day, every day.
275/50 BFG's on a 15x7" rim with 18psi, they like to be HOT.
60'd 1.6's.
Crappy tracks would 60' low 1.7's
Only thing ever done to the motor was a set of Comp 980 valve springs. Furthest it came apart. Heads NEVER off.
Car weighed 3510 with a half tank and me in it.
New car will better that by far, but it's winter time and I don't want to bench race off what it has ran... since I wasn't the one in it when it did run those numbers.
Kenny I believe you. This thread was started becuase of a post in the Fla section for a pump gas class we're doing at Bradenton for the Buick Southern event in March.
1.6 - 1.7's on Dr's is very respectable with a GN. Many wish they had the skill to do the same. But the jist of the post was to see a bunch of guys that run 11.50's with the above mods. Only car I can think of was Hank Terry's.. so i'll give my pranksters one more
And you answered a weight issue for us since the class was 3500 lbs with driver minimum weight.
I appologize for my responses to you, but though that by giving you some background, you can see why the hostility
Good luck on your new combo. And if your car went 2.0's for 60's.. forget the low 12's high 11's
In Mid June last year I ran a 7.55 @ 93.3 with a 1.80 60 foot here at Sunshine on dr's. Tranny and rear has been my achilles heel the last 7 months.. new rear was put in in sept.. now if I can get a working tranny I may do some tuning again.
On the stock turbo, stock suspension I made over 150 passes all low 12 's on my Nitto's. I had a 1.63 on them once, typically ran 1.67-1.75's. Before the turbo upgrade.. with a one legger, i've only been on slicks.. now the posi is tight, i'll start on the dr's again.
What will it run after the heads and cam.. dunno... anybody's guess..
