I made a couple passes in a friends (nx01gt) 01 GT at BMP's Runday Sunday today.
The car has minimal mods for power.
N/X wet kit jetted for a 100 shot. .
JLT CAI
O/R X pipe
SLP LM1 cat back
TR6 plugs
Stock tune (used sct tuner to raise rev limit, turn off MIL, and cal speedo only))
4.10 gears
Lakewood struts and shocks
4 cyl ft springs
Zoom Clutch
Weld Draglites and slicks (I bolted mine on the car)
A couple medium sized stickers worth atleast 5HP each and a big one that has to be worth 10, lol
I did not reach the goal of running a high eleven, but I got pretty damn close. I wish I had a little more seat time in it and was able to make some more passses to get the feel for the right tire pressure. BUT, the place was packed with well over 200 cars and bikes and we sat in the staging lanes for HOURS, between runs I usually run 13lbs in the slicks on my 96 and I have gotten a 1.43 60 FT.
I probably should have tried 14lbs on this car. It bit hard on the initial launch then had a slight loss of momentum (I cant call it a bog) and recoverd quickly. The passes felt very good. I shifted my ususal quick shifts but did not powershift it (was a little concerened with the clutch). I knew it was a strong run due to having to kill the spray a little before the traps (It has a window switch, but I don't trust it).
I wanted to make an N/A pass and see if it had a 12 in it (which I am almost positive that it did).
There are a few locals that the owner had been told that he would be lucky if the car hit a high 12 on the spray and that there is no way that his car would be able to pull the front tires:
The Car obviously has the potential to run an 11. The next time I run it, I am going to try my best to get the 60FT down to a a 1.6 , which should put it in the 11.7-11.8 range. If not a 1.7 should allow me to atleast hit an 11.99999.
BTW, like any car that I run at the track, I pulled out the passenger and rear seat, along with the jack and spare for a little weight savings
