Debating With My Friend...Track Times ???

[tohighpsi]

Ok so me and a friend are having a friendly debate about what my car is capable of running. He is more of an old school guy and has had a few 9 sec cars. Always sb chevy. I guess he is just having a hard time grasping that I have a car I could drive everyday if I wanted to, pump the ac listen to music and still get 20mpg but make over 600hp. He says our cars never run the numbers they should. So we have a little debate going. That unfortunately Im not going to be able to settle till next season. There is a few more things I want to do to the car. Assuming I can hook good and drive good what kind of times do you think the car is capable of on the pump and race tune. My friend is saying the car wont go in the tens on pump and I will be lucky to get in the tens on my race tune. I will be pissed if I cant get the car in the tens on pump and closer to 10.50 on the race tune. I have been racing a long time and know its going to take some pratice with the irs and six speed but dont think it should be a problem with some practice. Im going to get a nice set of big and littles this winter for the track and install a wot box too. Below is a mod list and hp number from the ad I bought the car from. Thanks for any input guys

If you have seat time at the track, then you should be able to do it with a set up like that. However, he is still going to poke you with a stick until you back it up no matter what any one says.

You should be able to break into the 10s with those mods and pump gas if you have track experience. My old '03 Cobra ran 11.3 @ 123 with just a ported blower and 2.80 upper (504rwhp) on pump gas. Shame you won't be able to hit him back with a stick before next year. I predict you'll be into the 10s and he'll be eating crow, again assuming you have track experience.

Yeah I had a 10sec nitrous camaro that I really wanted to get in the 9s with but kept getting booted before I could up the spray. It was an auto car but still took some skill keeping from blowing the tires off. I can row through the gears pretty good on the six speed. Hopefully off the 2step and some slicks the car will hook.

I went 10.98 @ 127 with a 1.65 60' with 570 RWHP, ET streets, full weight, stock suspension, 6spd and pump gas. You friend has little faith!

You should go tens easy with over 600 on pump gas. Show him this video....

Sweet Run dude! Im debating on going with a et street or quick time pro over a full slick. It will be a track set up but still me see some street time for some runs on the street.

Mid 10's on pump gas, low 10's on race gas.

i would be real happy with that. Because with a small shot that means 9s could be in my future.

Why are you rebuilding the engine, did you smoke it? Just wondering.

Bought the car with the built engine. But yeah think the intercooler pump went up and burnt up a piston

Get some Aeroforce gauges and monitor your IAT2's.

Already done. After the motor blew he put them in there before I got the car

:lol:

Whats funny? I went 10.75 on pump gas leaving easy and shifting like an old man, full weight except for wheels and tubular K. Hes making more power, if he can drive and isnt afraid of breaking it those times shouldnt be a problem.

I want in on the joke I could use a good laugh dont leave us in the dark :shrug:

 

[tohighpsi]

I would like to get a 28in tall tire just to take extra stress off the irs. Anybody know if they will fit on a lowered car? If not I think hoosier makes a 27 but not even sure that would fit
