Lastnight I went to the races, and my buddy and I were curious what difference would be made by taking the mufflers off my camaro. (( Plus the Temps were cooler )) Anyway, My car has be consistent at 6.26 at 111 mph
and at the last time out it ran a 6.22 which was the fastest time yet.. We thought by taking the mufflers off we might knock off enough to get in the high teens..
As of lastnight... First pass out of the box..Time Trail 6.09 And it was awsome... Next pass.. 6.06 Time trail
Dialed a 6.06.. Broke out and ran a 6.05.. Bought back in.. Dialed a 6.05 Lost again.. broke out.. ran a 6.04..
Then we decided to run some time only passes just to work on some things.. Like trying to get futher up on the convert when I take off..
Car was turning 1.39's and 1.38's in the 60 foot.. Well, I got out and got up to 4 thou on the converter, and the car launched great !! Both wheels in the air and it was on a best pass ever.. 60ft was a 1.32 and the 330 ft was a 3.87.. Ran a 6.01 through the 1/8 mile.. My heart was pumping and it was awesome !!
Got a video the second time I went up, and on this run I only got to a 6.05.. The car pushed in the lights and messed me up.. but was still a nice pass.. Got the wheels up alittle bit... MPH on the 6.05 was 112 mph..
Not to shabby of a gain just by taking the mufflers off and the temps dropping.
Anway.. Still messing with the car.. Hope to get it into the 5.90's or 5.80's once I get the smaller slicks on.
Still only running 92 octane gas and 110 octane gas mixed 50/50..
I am very happy and still hyped up this morning after the runs lastnight !!
Just wanted to share..
