I took the "stealth bomber" to VMP last night to see If I could do anything with the BFG dr's but wasn't expecting much as it was hot and humid as He11.
I call it the stealth bomber because I'm running the stock rims with no center caps so she's just a "tad" on the ugly side.
The tec guy was funny when I said I wanted to run test and tune as he said "You have to run in the 12's for that." I said yep and he was like "YOU SURE?"
First pass I ran against a NICE 70 SS 396, had 3" duel exh, slicks and a big fuel system hanging under the gas tank, I didn't get to look under the hood.
ME- 1.80 60ft 7.51/94.8 8th 11.75/106.5
Him-1.71 60ft 7.66/90.2 8th 12.04/111.9
I't left pretty good on the dr's considering the weather and NO track prep.
I let out shortly after the 8th when I heard the tires rubbing and didn't know what it was at first.
No air in air bags!
Got my slip and the track offical said "way to sand bag".
Got back in line and Chevelle guy gave me a Go TO HE1* look.
His buddies were looking at my car sort of
Since that went over so well I figured I'd do it again against the 5.0 mustang with half an interior and dr's
2nd pass
Me 1.79 60ft 7.47/95.1 1/8th 11.89/95.0 1/4
him 1.88 8.33/85.0 12.93/111.4
I got some Very strange looks after that run
I was going to be an azz again but after some tong lashing from B Mason I decide to make full pull.
3rd pass V/S LS1 Firehawk cam,slicks,?
Me 1.87 60ft 7.50/95.3 1/8th 11.60/119.87 1/4
Him 1.88 7.95/91.0 12.20/117.22 1/4
Had a tad of knock that pass as boost crept up on me.
I sure I had less than 100 octane in the tank as I had a pump gas race gas mix AND then added 93 once and 92 once before going to the track.
I can't complain as everyone's cars were off some by as much as 1/2 a sec.
I fell I held up the Buick flag well.
