12.33 @ 114

[RebeccaS]

Had the car at the track again last Friday, with some new mods. We deleted the cats and switched out the stock drive shaft for a one-piece from PST.

I went 12.33 at 114, with a 1.96 60'.

I'm still messing with launching it, but much more than a few hundred RPMs off idle, and it spins, even with the MTs at Orlando Spinworld.

Good job Rebecca.
What are the full mods on your car?

Justin said you guys found out that adding a CAI actually hurt your times? What ones did you test? Steeda yet? Keep us informed.

It's an auto with 3.15 gears (which will be changed soon), a VMP tune, MT ET Streets, cat delete and drive shaft.

Yes, the CAI did seem to hurt... I'll post more about it later, as we need more data.

Very interesting that a CAI hurt your times. Do you think it had to do with the tune for it?

No, it has to do with the engineering.

It was designed as no tune required, and was run that way initially. When the results were disappointing, we put it on the dyno. Sure enough, no tune required, in that the CAI does not change anything that tuning could change.

Very impressive Rebecca!
I can't wait to see what you can do with the car once you up the power.

What difference did the driveshaft make?

Weight reduction of the rotating assembly.

Great times Rebecca, and with some gears you are in the 11's all day.

Hmm

WOW the car is fast for having that gear ratio. You probable know this already but a set of 373s would really make the car fly!!!

I should have been more specific. What e.t. difference did you see with the one piece driveshaft?
