I ran a 9.2 second Camaro...........
 

HAHA. This is me at Gateway International Raceway in Madison IL (STL, MO). This is when I borrowed my buddies street slicks. They were Hoosier 26x9.5x16 slicks for a cobalt SS. Anyway I was still on my stock rearend. (Fully built Ford 8.8" is going in this winter). I babied the launches, this car has so much left in it still even at low boost. Before I had the slicks on I was running 22psi and trapping over 132mph in the 1/4mile. For this video I was only running 20psi. I race the camaro towards the end. lol my 11.5 to his 9.2 atleast I beat him out of the hole...... :rlaugh:

nice runs...good vid too :D...get that ford rear end in and go 10s...

Awesome run. :) :icon_tup:

nice :)

Nice runs. That announcer was irritating as shit though.

great passes....

:rlaugh: He cracks me up when he says, "Can Rick P. take advantage of Turbo Lag of something like that." :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh:

You have some nice trap speed there for sure. Pretty awesome man.

nice passes can't wait to see video with the ford 8.8 rear installed. good luck

i cant believe that there is a 7mph difference in his trap speed with only 2 psi change.

nice

Don't have sound right now, but good runs....
Why were you babying the launches? Is it the stock rearend/suspension holding you back and you didn't wanna skip?

I'm hoping on getting the same turbo. ;) ;)

The stock rearend is WEAK and I dont want to break it. The car is coming apart and I am totally redoing the rearend and suspensino this xmas break.

Nice runs.....

+1. I was laughing pretty hard at that as well. :lol:

I understand that as well, but wanted to give credit for a nice video and good work at the strip. Whatever the case the FD is fast. I'm impressed. It must be a monster from a highway roll. It also beats hearing about another civic kill.

Based on 2800 lb race weight this is how it calculates, not that I know all the variables, but trap speed calculators are pretty good. ET calculators can be all over the place.

125 mph = 432 wheel HP, 20 psi
132 mph = 509 wheel HP, 22 psi
136 mph = 562 wheel HP, 24 psi

Nice runs.... lots left in her for sure, I ran 11.4@123mph with 14psi on that setup. The trick is having a diff that can handle a 7000rpm drop clutch launch, with the power you put down on the dyno you should be deep into the tens with a 1.5 60ft. BTW what 60ft were you cutting??

Damn good times considering how you were babying the launches. Funny watching the Ford truck and the family sedan at the track. That's hilarious.

best was a 1.79 but most were 1.8s. I was scared to break the diff.

This is kinda late, but his trap speed differs because of the tires he has on the different runs.

The more traction you have the slower your trap speed will be, while the less traction the faster you'll trap, but slower ET. It's not really the 2psi making the huge difference, it's the tires.

a 1.8 isnt horible.....def not a 1.5 but it is respectable.

nice job

Oh cmon you dont want your rear end to look like this at the track.

^^^ Nope lol

that diff pic makes me sad..... was it yours?
