Isee.  That guy with 1.645 reaction time finished in left lane at 131mph in about 10 seconds.  I guess he was giving you a rolling head start.  LOL

If that's what I am seeing,  it's nice to see timing for both lanes on your time slips.  I hadn't seen those before, but haven't been to a drag strip since I drove in World Points Finale for AHRA in Kansas City before 1970. My drag racing is usually up to about 30mph, now. That's all I need aaround the city. : )

I drove a Chevelle SS called The Hombre back then.  With 339 c.i. and two barrel, I ran about 12.40 and 94 mph. Lost final race at Green Valley, then at Kansas City. We'd had a team of 5 or six cars running earlier that year. Were down to two cars for the finals. The other was a 4-bbl 396 that ran in the low 11's.

But the car I lost to had holes drilled in everything on the car. He was exactly on the hp/weight limit for the class. The drilling had allowed him to exactly adjust his weight for the class.  Even with one 3-4 carlength holeshot, he still got me at the big end, running 12.30 a national class record. I had just set national record on my previous run.

Heading to the track this weekend. Weather looks to be good with a forcasted temp of 40-50. Just put new plugs, wires, K&N, vacume line set,

Predictions!?!?!?!?

My first times are on the first page...

That would be respectable... I am hoping for some lower times. Around 14.2. My car is launching like a bad MOFO now. just loosing it in the top end. Need to get my intake port matched. I may endup going out and putting a complete exhaust on it this week 2.75 inch since mandrel isnt available..

You're still running a Jeff M. chip aren't you? If so, I would expect no better than mid 14's with a GREATTTTT launch. ;)

Heres my mods..

Jeff M Top Gun 160 chip
180 Thermostat
L36 Injectors
K&N on turbo snout
R42LTS plugs (I know stock, just put em in)
Taylor Spiral Core 8mm wires
New AC Delco O2 Sensor
Yokohama R540GS tires
Completely new vacume set from the TB all over under the hood.
Coolant tank relocate.
Thinking about going out and getting some Accel Coil Packs today to go with the wires..
Also thinking about going out and getting that exhaust work done today..

Stick with the AC Delco coilpacks Brian. They're more than adequate for any car on this board(just look at the power the 2nd Gen crowd makes on the stock ones ;) ) and they typically last a lot longer than aftermarket ones from what I've seen.

EDIT: If for any reason you actually need new coilpacks, Advance Auto sells them for ~$40/each with a year warranty.

i cant see you hitting better then a 14.8 either

good luck though!

edit also i think thats where Jud went wrong... with the acell coil packs..... stock gm coil pack FTW

I never updated this thread.. LOL.. Well, I was on my way to the track, brought the wife with me, made it about 3 miles from the track, and my check guages light turned on, Temp guage sitting just below the red mark, in rush hour traffic. I turned off the key in traffic, and coasted to the shoulder. Upper radiator port had popped its copper bead, and spit the pipe, and hose, out. Tow truck home.. But that was back in 2007, so its all been fixed now, just havent had time to take it to the track, since its sitting in storage some 1000 miles away.

I like the launch pics. keep up the good work. If you drop the A/C its about half a second. ;)

Drop the AC? Are you maD!

Sorry, gotta keep the AC. My body cant tolerate heat, and I do cruise in this car from time to time.. Althou it hasnt seen the road in nearly 2 years now. It still starts thou, and the battery is still charged!

Oh sorry I just haven't had the experience of a TGP with working A/C yet. I'd like my black TGP to have the ac work again on it but that project is lower down on the list.

Wait till you have the joy of replacing a heater core in one of these cars! Another one of those, WTF was GM thinking Moments!

Oh Yea. I fixed the AC in mine a couple years back. I wrote a upgrade thing about it. Its somewhere around here. The AC fill port is in a totally WTF?! spot. I created a new one with a new Drier/Accumulator tank with a fill port in it. Makes the world so much nicer!
