Blown77Z Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) I posted a NEW best time last night @ the Emerald Coast Dragway 1/8th mile. I ran a new best of 8.02 @ 92 on 245/45/16 Toyo tires set to 25 psi I JUST got the car back on the road after 2+ years of paint and body work. I wasn't planning on running anything spectacular since I'm rusty on the track, guess that wasn't the case..... Was mainly focused on getting the right RPM launch settings figured out with the T56 setup. Was dumping the clutch around 2-2.3k RPMs getting 1.97 60fts. I've cut 1.85 60s before, so I need to work on those too. I also ran a 8.08, 8.05 and then the 8.02, pretty consistent I say ! Needless to say I was STOKED at last night's runs Edited June 25, 2011 by Blown77Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 What was your wheel spin like? Were you hooking up or just spinning like crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown77Z Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 What was your wheel spin like? Were you hooking up or just spinning like crazy? A little wheelspin from 1st-2nd shift, nothing really bad. And a little wheelspin off the line around 2.3-2.4k rps launch. The car bogged a tad off the line at 2k even, so finding the "sweet" spot is a pain... I did launch it higher, closer to 3k, on an earlier run and spun the tires ALL the way to redline LOL and ran a 8.3x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'm straight north of you in Florence, AL, about 7 hours away from you. I have a buddy in Pensacola who I visit a few times a year. If I ever get my LS2/T56 done, we will have to link up. Last year with my L24 and CLSD, I was having trouble with wheel spin before I went to drag radials and that pretty well took care of it. I was finally letting clutch out fast from up to 6,000rpm and had no wheel spin when tires were hot, still spun if they were cool. We have 4 really friendly local to pick from. You'd be welcome to try out my drag radials on a hand full of passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Congrats! I see some 7's in your near future. What is the mod list on the LS1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some 7's in your near future. What is the mod list on the LS1? My LS1 is bone stock w/ the exception of the Sanderson headers and a cold air induction kit. I'm also running a single 2.5 exhaust out the back of the car. I'm looking at adding an e-cutout and underdrive pulley soon to free up some HP. My goal on street tires is a 7.99, so I'm VERY close to it Edited June 27, 2011 by Blown77Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 With a good tire on the back you should easily get into the 7's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
