Congrats on the times. Did you go to Milan? I was considering going there but headed to US-131 instead. I hope the weather holds out for you until November, supposed to take a turn for the worse this week.

Almost a 9 second pass
- Thread starter biminiLX

2 step will help a ton with consistency. You'll love it.
Bad ass all the way around!
Thanks everyone. Already working on Go Pro for next time, just need the weather.
This will happen soon, the bias/2-step will significantly help consistency.
To answer your previous question on timing, we are on kill with quality E85 at about 24 degrees and I'll def do a fuel system this winter for the TVS2650.
It'll probably go 150 with great weather, full ice, and 2-step/WOT box pass.

Agreed. I put my LX in the 9s on radials with a single disc Spec and TKO over 10s ago when even MT said forget it and go bias, the 2-step was key.

Awesome time man!! That 9 second slip is close!
Are you caged?
Are you caged?
Nope, this one will never be caged. Already have a caged Fox that is the real strip car.

Thanks man, I'd love to have the sea level air at the quality tracks you've got around.
You had the right idea with the Hoosier slicks, these cars are so much easier to drive with a bias ply.
If you're interested I called and talked to Hoosier about tubes and they recommended stretching a 15-16" tube to fit the 17" wheel. I had thought of the tube as way to stiffened the sidewall.
What pressure do you run?
I was at 16psi in the ET Street R. The MT tech guy said start at 12 and go up but he didn't seem confident and these are heavy cars.
Any sway top end?

17.5 psi. hooked great no sway at top. your right there too.
Car is amazing J. And nice driving too!
Beast! Which "bps ported blower"?
Thanks buddy, yes still 4.10s. I didn't datalog this day but previous 144mph pass on slightly taller almost 30" Hoosier DRs was 7100rpm range. It seemed the same on these ET Street Rs but I'll datalog next Sat.
DA was actually almost 1700 in mid 70s, I'm coming for better weather and trailer in the car to have it cooler with full ice down.

I have a bps ported trinity on my car
non cut open egr still has the hump inside. I might get it done from Jason at 1320 junkie one day along with my lower intake
My car hit the limiter at the stripe on the 20s in a 305-35 I think I'm going to try a 3.70 in the 9'' to see how that does. Also looking to get some 17s on the rear
Good idea, I've been thinking of a gear swap to 3.70-3.90 also but so far the rear isn't whining too bad. I'm also firming up the winter plan: fuel system, bigger TVS2650, rear brakes and custom Bogart wheels with 28x14.5x16 Hoosier QTPs. I've talked to Wilwood and it looks like they have a 12.88" rear that fits in Bogarts 16" large bore tub.
After that I hope to say it's done, but they usually never are right?
I looked at your slip and those passes were very close!
I'm assuming you had a better DA and the car backhalfs better on the radials, but our cars must be making very similar power. And we're crazy enough to both still have 4.10s.
What RPM did you have the limiter?
I think I'll keep the gears for now and see how the car responds to the bigger blower and bigger tires, but I agree with you to start with 9" and 3.70s.
Going to track anytime soon?
I'm hoping next Sat weather is decent.

I have small willwoods on the back now to clear a 15'' wheel but I'm not a fan of the 18/15 look on these cars so I'm thinking a 17 slick or a 305-45-17 et street R I'm confident I can go in the 9s. I'm trying to go but my 9'' i bought is 1'' narrower per side and right now I have a rear spacer on there to bring the stock wheels out to normal but I don't want to launch it hard with the spacer on there. I got a set of CCWs coming should be here in Mid November hopefully. My limiter is set thru Lund at 7350. I'm interested to hear more about those brakes and wheels.Good idea, I've been thinking of a gear swap to 3.70-3.90 also but so far the rear isn't whining too bad.
