I had a great day of racing yesterday. Big thanks to Bob @ Kurgan Motorsports, and John @ Modularperformance.

First pass off the trailer---no ice in ic box, 3.8 pulley/stock lower. Very soft launch---just wanted to get down the track:

R/t .119
60' 1.509
330 4.119
1/8 6.262
mph 114.50
1000 8.12
1/4 9.699
mph 142.45

2nd pass----still no ice, harder launch

r/t .009
60 1.440
330 4.038
1/8 6.187
mph 114.28
1000 8.056
1/4 9.647
mph 141.43

I decided to swap for the 3.5" pulley, and change the tune.

1st pass----lid was loose on my ic tank, and a ton of my ice/water went everywhere in the trunk. I felt it pull a bit of timing up top.

r/t .040
60 1.441
330 4.012
1/8 6.137
mph 115.06
1000 7.994
1/4 9.57
mph 141.74

Final pass-----drained a ton of water from my ic tank, and packed 2 full bags of ice.

r/t .102
60 1.432
330 3.982
1/8 6.076
mph 116.81
1000 7.898
1/4 9.442
mph 145.88

Needless to say----I am stoked. I still have the stock brakes on the car, hvac, and mach stereo. Raceweight should be about 3450. I'm going to weigh it this week. I'm still running 110 Sunoco---AFR was 11.2:1, 19 degrees of timing. The barrel of C16 was rolled into my garage today. I hope to pick up some et/mph from it, and my aggressive tune for it.

Here's the vid. My trans was puking a little fluid out of the vent---need a catch can on it.

I go every couple of weeks or so. I may go more, now that the Tues/Wed programs have been combined. They are letting slicks run on Tuesdays now---used to be street tires only.

What rwhp are you pulling..my 98 Vert allso weighs 3450

It's a c4--no lockup. It made 705rwhp on Kurgan's dyno---which is conservative from what I hear. I also had my Intercooler pump go out during the session.

I'm pretty confident it'll make 750 or so(on C16), and run about 150mph once I get my Iat issues sorted out.
