Motown's uber nerd and fav Sweeeeede!
I'm pretty happy with the improvement the converter made, even on stock wheels and street tires. Did a best of 13.23 @ 103.5 (1.97 60'), previous best on the same wheels and tires was 13.69 @ 102.

Next time I go I'll have the same setup, but with drag radials. I'm thinking very high 12s could happen. :icon_mrgr I had to launch kinda weak to keep from spinning. :peelout:
 
13.2 @ 103 is doing very well. I didn't dip into the 1.9X territory until I was nearly in the 10's. I don't see how you'd dip into the 12's (unless there is a large DA change) as it doesn't appear you have a traction issue.
 
I dunno.. I haven't gotten the launch down yet.. always end up with the best time when I just launch off idle. I'm hoping some stickier tires will let me bring up the rpms to stall and launch harder. I've seen people post better 60' than I have ever been able to do.. :dontknow:

Speaking of that, is there a good place to buy M&H tires in the area? They seem to have a couple of DR sizes that would fit my car perfectly.

Hey sorry I didn't get back to you about the BFG DR's. If you call Brian (he's TRBOBUICK on here) at my store he'll talk to you about it and give you a great deal. Call 248-299-5775 and tell him you're from Motown. He'll take care of you.

The what? Oh, you mean the guy who took my card and wrote some numbers on my car without even asking a single question? :laugh: Not sure you'd have the same experience with your trailered race car. :icon_mrgr

your car "looks" stock...try with a set a welds and slicks....

THEY made me take a lug nut off one of my front runners to prove I had three inch studs...
they were tough with me..they even check my helmet to make sure it had the right snell rating...

BUT good track
 
Hell - when I went to the track with welds/skinnies they just waved me through tech....

If they hassle me I'm just going to pop the hood and tell them to look at the STOCK heads, STOCK valvecovers, and ask if a stock longblock is worth the hassle... :laugh: :laugh:
