Ohhhhh... The smell of rice, chevies and ponys being burned was thick in the air tonight. I got there early enough this time that the Nitttos hooked nice for being what they are. Still need some time on the dyno, but, not bad for 91deg temps, high humidity and being heatsoaked. Hotlapped and this was my best of the night:

Congrats Bill! Is that your First 12.x slip?? All that and you're only 1.3 seconds faster than me? :P

Time for a CryO2 system to blast your intercooler??:cool:

Are you running the Nitto 555's, and how much are you cooking them before?

Hey Eric! Had a 12.9 a few weeks ago, 12.7 tonight, 12.6, then the tires started sliding in first. I even had a 14.x @ 109mph!!! :D Anout a 2 second burn on my Nitto 555s seemed to be perfect until more people showed up and the track got slickery. IAT temps were hitting up to 150 degrees! I put 1gal of MS109 in with a little over 1/8 of 93 after she started pulling timing on the third run.

Sweet, did you take any vids, like an iphone or gpro or whatever? I drove by a place yesterday that sells 93 with no corn in it... In the cool fall air think you can touch 11s?

whats your set up? i forget

Yeah. I think I can hit 11's. 7 ribs on the belt (one shredded last week) and tensioner is all the way back. New K080560 belt on the way. This one is a K080565 and is a hair too long.

"Hey, Bill congratulations!! Would love to come and watch you run sometime.:cool: "

That would be cool! I need to see more Rauders even if it's parked! :D

Setup is:
Ported Eaton, welded, ported Eaton elbow matched to a BBK 65mm TB, SCT BA2800, 6lb lower, stock upper, GT40 FP w/KB BAP, 39lb inj, 9 thread PnP heads, MMR Fe block with forged rotating assembly and flat tops, FRPP shorty headers running into full cobra exhaust with high flow cats, Magnaflow x-pipe running into Magnaflow mufflers.

My new engine will have Crower Stage 2's, SS valves, better ported heads, 9.1 cr, 60lb inj, dual GT40's/FPDM's and hopefully/eventually TVS. I may sell this rauder and buy one with a dead engine to build up. It's fun! I'd love to find a Blue with a blown engine!!!

TVS? Who makes the adapter plate for 4v heads? My Dad bought a new Audi that has an Eaton TVS sitting on top...

Oh yes they did! :D Been watching for a while now... If you have an Eaton swap already, it's a drop-in replacement.

Yep I to have been watching this closely! I have talked to several of the guys who cars would test mules. results have been stellar & it is another good choics vs a Whipple or KB as # are in that ballpark. Heck maybe Ill sell the Whipple & make a change??
