Yea, yea, yea, I'm coming after you. Get ready!

Congrats on your 12.22!!!

:woohoo:

Guys consider this, 12.22 and almost 111mph, converter, headers, CAI, tune, drag radials...

If that doesn't impress you, I don't know what will.

Still waiting to hear what the DA was on this run.

Still waiting to hear what the DA was on this run.

Temps were near 70 and I think low humidity on Sunday in that area but drag times has no weather report for that day.

[MGM GT]

Congrats like I said on the other board Drugs!

While that is a great pass and I believe the fastest to date for such simple mods... I think its about normal once we see more people hit the track.

Considering true bolt on cars (intake, exhaust, tune) are going 12.5-12.7 regularly and people are gaining .4-.5 from a converter. Then a bolt on and converter G8 should be running low 12's!




Dave I think Fran owes us some commission on future G8 work. Fastest NA and Fastest Bolt on lol

I havent seen very many i/e/t cars going 12.5-12.6's regularly. Maybe 1 or 2. I'd say the norm is 12.7-12.9 for I/E/T. I highly doubt that 12.2s will be the norm for converter/i/e/t cars. I think he has a spot on tune, good driver, good track conditions and a strong car. I would expect 12.3-12.5 to be average for a converter/i/e/t car with tire. Not trying to flame you just stating my opinion and what I can see by looking at the 1/4 mile time list.

[GRRRR8]

Congrats! Everyone keep getting better and faster.....it is motivating me. :)

It couldn't have been lots better than Island. It was 1300ish early afternoon and in the mid hundreds (508 @ 5:53PM) later that evening.

It seems all the modded G8's around here on the fast east coast are running solid 12's and there's more on the 1/4 mile list on both forums.

Yes technically the norm is 12.8 with boltons/tune and technically some people have seen gains of .8 with just a converter... so what then?

Heck we still have people arguing whether a converter is even a bolt on or not! Another argument in itself.

Don't get me wrong I'd love for you to be right. :)

Off topic but do you let your car shift into 4th or hold 3rd at the track?

[GRRRR8]

yawn


Your 11.87 wasnt enough. I need to see a low .70 or high .60 to get WOOD! lol

To test out this theory I just ordered an FTI 3600 stall!! Thanks to Rich at PM-FL!

Yes I go to fourth, I ran tried holding 3rd and I was bouncing off the limiter and nose diving across the line to a 12.9, so there's no point in doing that. I did the same thing except I went to fourth gear and ran a 12.6!

OT Saturday one of the guys I was there with came over laughing and said ppl were talking shit about my car. They said ahh that car probably runs 14.2 lol

No, they're not. They increase the efficiency of the engine, causing it to make more power.

[DRUGS]

lol some things are about right but keep in mind my car has been 12.54 @112.78 on stock converter and street tires the car has more in it the the setup now it will see 12.0s before the dec 12 last day of cecil

You coming to Cecil this Saturday morn for the test and tune?

[DRUGS]

if i can i could get off at 12 get there around 1 what time does the track stay open till thats why i was going friday night

[MGM GT]

Another question is stock weight?

I know I had to trim a few lbs off mine!

[DRUGS]

stock weight maybe a lil more im a fat fuck

[MGM GT]

stock weight maybe a lil more im a fat fuck

bahahaha did you run across the scales? I believe my race weight is right about 4,050lbs and I'm about 225.

I just did the simple stuff like swap out the boat anchor battery, floor mats, run with a 1/4 tank, etc..

Then you factor in that a full exhaust takes off about 70lbs, remove the engine covers, etc... and you can take 200lbs off a stock G8 pretty easily.

[Devilish34]

if i can i could get off at 12 get there around 1 what time does the track stay open till thats why i was going friday night

Ahh Test and Tune is 9 to 11-12ish then they start the event

[Devilish34]

haha Do you like bacon?

[DRUGS]

[GeorgeInNePa]

The rear brake size on the GTO is smaller than the G8GT.

CCW 16" rims just fit.

I doubt you are going to fit 15" wheels on it, grinding the calipers or not...

GTO rears are 11.3", ours are 11.9". Measure how far the calipers stick up beyond the rotor before you order anything.

yea but ccw's are 750 a rim

[GeorgeInNePa]

The 1/16" spacer will no longer be required, now that CCW has changed the mounting pad thickness.

That's what Roy tells me...

They are less than that, but I was just giving you an example.

*NEWBISH QUESTION WARNING*

Why does the time slip with the better 60 foot time, and better trap speed, have slower 1/4 times?

[GeorgeInNePa]

*NEWBISH QUESTION WARNING*

Why does the time slip with the better 60 foot time, and better trap speed, have slower 1/4 times?

That's a very good question and the only answer I have is that I used M to do the burnout and then D to do the run. The shifts felt funny on that one.

The next run, it launched funny, but shifted great. I used D for the burn and D for the run. I probably lost a bit of the MPH from the bad launch.

You'll see that the last run is better by the 1/8. I made up time on the back half.

No one is.

I credit you, Roy and G8 Ray for convincing me to try shifting to 4th.

Also, your D tip helped immensely.

US13?

Used to go there every spring for the Division 1 National Open.

The old man set his first NHRA record there in '95. Went 10.57 in B/Stock. Punched a push rod through a rocker arm past the 1000'. We put a new push rod and rocker on it and he backed it up and reset the record at 10.52.

What rpm are you foot braking it at?
