Well the planets must be aligned. I may have slicks available to try tomorrow when I go to Martin. I'm hoping to run well into the 12's with my trusty ol stage2.

Wish me luck.

I will post what I run regardless. It promises to be a good time as a lot of the local rice that I know through our local forum will be there. I lot of grudges will be settled. Our forum has been chock full of bench racing to the point of being ridiculous. (myself not included) It will be good for all to see who really can run what for a change. 12's or not, I will have fun watching the kids in their Hondas meet Mr Reality.

 

Pics would be great!!

Well only got a couple of pics on my camera, but another guy there from the local forum had his going and when he posts pics I will link them.
Long story short, the guy with the slicks did not show up, but I had already paid and been teched so I decided to run anyway and found the track prep to be excellent resulting in 4 new best e.t's best 60's and a new best trap. It was a good night for the wicked black jellybean.

New best = 12.94 @ 108.4 w/a 1.96 60 on street tires!
Best trap 109.2 @ 13.24
Others were 13.1 @ 108.4
and the first hot run was 13.4 @ 105.1

For those who dont already know, this is a 2004 stage 2 w/toys and full 3" TBE and H&R lowering springs. Stock intake, stock IC, stock ignition, stock 35,000 mile clutch, drop in K&N, iridium plugs, Mobil 1 oil, Redline tranny fluid, Fuzion ZRI 225-55-16 tires, 93 octane with a splash of e-85, 3074 race weight with driver (205lbs) and the all important driver mod. LOL.

Will post pics and timeslips soon.

Oh and using a hp calculator (PSI Chick loves these LOL)
By weight and trap = 312 hp
By weight and e.t = 280 hp
With traction being limited on fwd, I believe trap to be more accurate than e.t. But anyway, somewhere around 300 hp I suppose.

 

Ok, here's slips.

I was car 614, right lane.

 

Good job.... nice driving.

 

nice job and good 60'.

and you're right, i hate those onlne calculators because there's not a chance that you're anywhere near 300 with just a tbe. more like 285 hom.....

 

You might be forgetting, it's a 2004 which is + 10 hp over other years and it's black which = also + 10 hp over other colors, so 285 + 20 hp = 305. Everyone knows that's how the factory marked the "special" ones.

Thanks for the compliments though, really.

 

um...yea lol

 

Nice runs.

 

Thanks!
