I'm happy with my times even though I didn't achieve my objective of 14.3 by 0.026 seconds... it was my first time with drag radials, it was nice to go from 2.3,2.4 60's to 2.0s.
Next step, intercooling setup. I want to make a 14.2 pass on a cool day before the season ends in october.
Next year will be motor mounts, header, 2.5" exhaust and maybe 3" pulley so that I can hit consistent 13s...
15.574 @ 89 mph stock without charger. new times with charger coming soon.
Dang! I'd be happy with those times!!
13s are there I think....drag radials will help and all too!
I have everything you are wanting (and some!) so I'll see Saturday what I hit! I'll let you know!
Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?
Damn seeing your times makes me wonder what mine would be since I have a full exhaust and motor mounts too. Only downside for me is my Auto tranny. Congrats on the great times!

I was there live and in the car when he pulled a 2.07 60', Car get's out of the box really well and should pull 1.9x with both motor mounts on. First time for him on DR so it was basically a feeling out process. No doubt that on a cool October night and changing nothing on the car as it is we are looking at a 14.2.
Now I guess I'll be next to report my times with a S/C auto Eco really soon. Stay tune.

Wow man, you're almost .5 seconds faster than me. Good job.
What rpm are you shifting at?
I'm shifting as close to the rev limiter as I can, so between 6300-6400 rpms...
When it was colder out (this april), I trapped consistent 98 mph runs so I'm pretty sure I could shave off another tenth or so without touching anything, but I probably won't go back to the track before my intercooler setup is installed...
14.425 @ 97.833 mph stock + GMPP s/c on drag radials.
This makes me wonder if I have a leak somewhere. Either that or I suck. Do you know how much boost you're seeing?
I've been shifting at 6k rpms. Is that a .5 second difference?
I guess I'll just have to go have more fun. (Dangit)
I'm pretty sure 6k rpms is way too low to shift. I'm seeing about 12 psi just before rev limiter.

Have you tested this theory? I did with my car and you will be faster shifting at 6k Go back and do some more runs, I'm willing to bet you will drop a couple tenths and trap 1 or 2 mph higher. Those are the differences I have seen with my own setup.
Even my dyno shows my HP droping after 6k rpm, even with the charger...

it doesn't work on mine. I tried it and It actually had the adverse effect of slowing me down and making me trap slower.
It probably has to do with the fact that you're tuned with piggy-backs and I'm on the GM reflash... maybe they optimized the reflash (timing and stuff like that) so I get power right to the redline...

BTW if I look at your s/c only run in your profile you trapped 99.00 mph, I trapped 98.5 on a cold day but I'm not intercooled, so I doubt I can get more mph out of my current setup...

BTW 2: Airtonics how is your car doin' ? Have any plans for it or is it going to stay with the 3.0" pulley ?
