Six months after I swapped my 99V6 to 2001 4v I decided track time needed to happen before any mods. I still run the open 7.5 with 3.27s, LOL
So, I headed out to the track last night. I was the 2nd car on the track it was 59* I started off with and idle launch, LOL that was fun I believe my first pass was 14.59 @ 105.XX I hot lapped the Peg Leg and got a 14.29 @ 105.XX. Then it was time for another hot lap I ran a 14.01 @ 106.XX These are all in the 2.40ish 60ft. I would launch off idle and as soon as I hit about 3500 it would break loose, I tried pedaling it, but it didn't work. So I parked it and let it cool for about 25 or so minutes.
After the cool down, I lined up against my buddy in his 08 silverado, he got outta the hole and I launched hit 2nd and the car just broke loose, I went half throttle and got back into it and it just broke again, I grabbed 3rd and let it ride out, I caught him about 3/4 track and passed. He ran a 15.60 @ 89 to my 15.04 @ 102 lol.
Then all the big drag cars got out there and got the track heated up. We got back in line and I decided to heat my tires and get some VHT stuck to the Skreet tires, I lined up and launched at 1700, it actually dead hooked and I got outta the hole. I was so excited that I missed 2nd, I ran a 13.98 @ 105.XX
Last race of the night, I lined up and marked my dial in for 13.75, because that was my goal. I launched at 2500 and got dead hook again, I then granny shifted 2nd and it felt good. The car beside me was dialed at 13.50 and wasn't catching me, I threw it into 3rd and it started to spin, I just planted it and didnt get the win light. That pass was 13.60 @ 106.66 with a 2.22 60ft.
I am now going to work on getting an 8.8 with some gear, and some 31 splines. With the MPH I should be good for some 12.60s. WHOOT.
This was all just a baseline from a V6 swap to 4v to see where I am at. My car looks funny, the passenger side quarter panel is covered with VHT and the driver's side has like 2 tiny specs on it. Whoot one wheel peel
