Nealio240z Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Well I finally got to run my v8z at the track. I was only able to make three runs due to the high volume of racers on the last street legal race night of the season. I dropped the pressure to 23 psi in my street tires and went for it. I couldnt hook up to save my life!! I ran a respectable time of 13.9 @ 100.2 mph w/ a reaction time of 0.022. I know it can hit mid 13's. By next year Ill have a bigger cam, slicks and a cool air induction. Ill keep ya posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Nealio, you've gone and done it now. You'll be broke, in the poor house and craving more speed. I hate to tell you but your gonna be addicted now. Sorry for the bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silicone boy Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Nealio, I think the good Doctor is right. By the way, what is your engine/tranny setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HICKL Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 No doubt on what the Doc says. First time I ran mine, I was hitting 14.003 ish, was thinking "if I could only get into the 13's I would be happy." Unbolted my exhauset and did it. 2 years later, running 12.3's and thinking.."if I could just break into the 11's I will be happy!" It is a disease.

Nealio240z Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hell yes Im going. I dont know if Ill race or not. 74zorro will I see you there? What is your engine/tranny combo? That thing rocked. Im running a 86-94 small block 350 mildly modified to about 330 horse at the flywheel. Im using a Th350 tranny w/shift kit. All it needs is paint and it will be done. Im still gonna build on it until it will hit 12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
