Car was consistent all night...Definitely seems like you are getting a better feel for the car even though you haven't got back into the 6's....But I have a feeling you will be getting there very soon...

I'm thinking with a little better weather she'll get it! I'm still wanting to try Piedmont though. Yours wasn't too shabby either Mr.6.6X!

Nice runs mang.

Thanks! I've always been a fan of the AMG! Something about fast sedans thats just sick to me!

Nice pass JT what RPM's are you pulling on the big end maybe a 26" tire would let you trap a little higher mph and get you back in the 6's. It looks good coming out of the hole, is that some air I see under the front tire :).

I know the 28's (with 3.55's) are not the best at my power level but I got them thinking of the future. I would love to try some to see the difference! Yeah it pops the front left up on both of the two passes I have on tape and carries it for about a foot or so!

I am looking for 6.99 in the 8th but doubt it will happen till this fall. Good luck OP on ur quest!

Thanks buddy and good luck to you as well!

I know it is not a cobra,but the 6.99's have been eluding me my whole life!

Hey it doesn't matter what kind of car it is thats moving! My car has been 6.9Xs at our 1/4 mile track but not at my closer 1/8th mile track. The difference is a 1000ft of elevation! I thought if I could get it to go 6's at the 1/8th track it might go 6.8Xs at the 1/4 mile track!

Very nice Justin! Go get that record!!

I keep plugging away but it will probably have to be in the fall if it happens! I saw that ported blower in your sig:rockon: How do you like it? Its so tempting to port this one because it's such a fun setup to run!

Have you tried to lower your launch rpm's to where the car dead hooks and goes without a bog? Maybe yours won't do it being an upper only and no port but my car kept knocking the 60's down by doing that. I started off launching at 6,000+ and then at the end of the year was down to 4,800 from memory and I was still going to go lower than that but the auto went in.

Doesn't seem like any of us had much of a Spring.

There were a few times you got close to a 6 second pass. Great driving man!

I'm the guy with the red '98 Z28. Adam E's friend.

I'm going to definitely try that next go around. In my mind I was thinking the higher the launch may help it not to bog but I'll try anything! Thanks for the input!

Nice passes!

Cammed car? If so it sounded sick! I love the way LSX motors sound with a cam swap! That big cam sound is one thing they have over the mod motors in my opinion.

Nah, you're thinking of the guy with the red LT1 with radials. I came over and introduced myself looking for Mark.
