F8LSNAKE runs 10.57

[F8LSNAKE]

Well, since I ordered my new clutch today I decided to go to the track and see if the old stocker had anything left in it. My 1st pass was horrible. Blew the tires off to a 1.92 60' and then proceeded to miss 4th and coasted to a 12.4 @ 80mph. I almost put my street tires back on and quit for the night, but I decided to give it another shot. Here are the rest of the passes.

60'-1.508, 330'-4.457, 1/8-6.88 @ 101.54, 1000'-8.942, 1/4-10.668 @ 130.95

60'-1.492, 330'-4.405, 1/[email protected], 1000'-8.857, 1/4-10.579 @ 131.13

60'-1.475, 330'-4.422, 1/[email protected], 1000'-8.894, 1/4-10.616 @ 131.14

The last pass upon launch I thought was gonna be the best, but the middle of the track had gone away as it was late(10:46pm) and there had been a delay because of a crash. Anyway the car chattered the tires in the middle of the track and was enough to slow the car from running what I thought would have been a low 10.5. I'll take pics of the slips and post them tomorrow.

Great job man. 1.4 60' on stock clutch shows actually how great is stock clutch!!!! :rockon: Good driving bro. keep up the nice work :beer:

oh by the way, I am just thinking, should you edit the vehicle profile or not because that 135mph trap is insane from your previous best :-D

Nice......your car rocks, how much hp and torque are you putting to the ground? :burnout::rockon:

Musclefan, thanks and I plan to edit it once I post the timeslips. I don't know what to think of the 135 traps. That was at another track. I backed it up all day, but it still doesn't seem possible to me. It runs 131 consistantly though.

Shayne, yes SDR opened tonight for it's first friday night session. It'll be open most every friday from now till the end of the season.

Venimus03, I think they are listed in my other thread here in the timeslip bar(F8LSNAKE runs 10.60s). If not, let me know and I'll list them again.

Thaited, the horsepower just depends on what day it's dynoed, and I don't mean that to sound like a smart ass it's just that it hasn't been consistant on the dyno. Last time out if put down 568 though. Another # that I don't necessarily believe, but that's what the numbers were that night and it repeated them 3 times. Sounds high for my mods though. On a previous run on a different day it only made 473. Weird huh?

Sounds like fun, I know alot of the N. GA guys head over there alot. Pretty long drive for me though.

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Alot of weight reduction. Car weighs just over 3300lbs w/me in it in race trim.

For power, Big open end filter, SCT 2600, Accufab tb, stg IV port, Harley upper, 6lb lower, Bassani catted x, Borla stinger catback, 3.90 gear in a build solid rear. At the track I run with the headlight out and ice in the ic reservoir. These runs are on 26x10 et drags.

way to go bro. we need more people like yourself to show peoplle what these cars can really do with the right person behind the wheel.:rockon:

 

[F8LSNAKE]

Here is the list of weight reduction I copied/pasted from my other thread.(It has video btw). Thanks again for the props guys.

Removed spare/jack and insulation under the carpet. Custom rear seat delete made by me out of .063 aluminum and carpeted to match. Deleted airbags and replaced with an Isotta steering wheel and UPR delete on passenger side. Corbeau forza II race seats, SRA with full tubular rear suspension, removed brackets out of rear quarters behind wheel, aluminum block, removed front bumper and made new h/e bracket out of aluminum, removed winshield washer reservoir and wipers(not driven in rain). Lightweight battery. Bogarts with slicks and front runners at the track and front swaybar is also removed. That's all I can think of, but I could have missed something minor. To look at this car it doesn't look gutted at all. It still has full interior minus the rear seat and I still have the mach 460 stereo, power window/locks and everything else. It's 110lbs heavier on the street when I'm on the 18" Iforged wheels. BTW on those wheels with a hard radial and a very soft launch I ran 7.6 in the 1/8 missing 4th gear. I shift 4th right before the 1/8.

Congrats Larry!!! Awesome job. Would you happen to know the exact diameter of your harley upper?

 

[braceyaself]

Damn man your killin it!Good job bro

 

[F1reStart3r]

I'm also curious about the harley upper. That's one quick eaton car.

 

[F8LSNAKE]

I've been told anywhere from a 3.15 to a 3.25, so I really don't know. The combo is good for 15lbs on a cold night and normally about 14lbs. I'll be swapping soon to a 2.93 off a buddies Lightning soon, hoping for a little mo powa to go with the new clutch that's coming.

Great job F8LSnake!!! I'll see ya again up at Reynolds one of these nights!

Difference between a 03/04 stock upper and a Harley pulley is right at 1 psi.
