Default New best 1/4 mile - SC400!

I'll go into more detail later and post the slips but went like this.

RT -.015 oops, trying to get the triple 0's.
60 ft - 1.788
330 ft - 5.056
1/8 - 7.754
1/8 mph - 90.12
1000 ft - 10.1
1/4 - 12.063
1/4 mph - 115.2

It has 11's in it. If I would have duplicated the 7.703 I ran a few months back at the 1/8 track it would have been an 11.8xx - 11.9xx.

Nice. Congrats. Did the new suspension mods make a big difference?

Not really on the 60ft but I still have not done the CA bushings, strut mounts or the new Illumina shocks.

The shocks might help a bit since they are adjustable. Can set them to soft in the rear for the track. I assume hard in the front.

Zmax. They are supposed to be open next Friday also. If I get all my suspension stuff done early enough I plan on being there.

On a side note, I just opened my hood and discovered two things.

1- I guess I am/was a bit overfull on coolant cause it was spewing out the overflow drian. I may have had a bit of coolant getting on the belt. I don't think it was slipping but you never know. The leak couldn't have been too bad, if I would have been getting it on the track I'm sure I would have heard about it.

2 - One of my water/meth hoses was leaking pretty good. Quite a puddle actually. Pretty sure it was a hose and not the pump. This could have been pretty drastically effecting things.

Hopefully I'll be able to run next weekend. Hopefully I run a few high 11's.

nice job. definitely 11s are in there, maybe some weight loss?

i've contemplated following either urs or scott's setup for the V8, but i've decided on swapping out for a LS7.

You'll hit mid 11's or better with some larger injectors and ScottURNot's stand alone Adaptronic ECU easy!

Nice KC, I should have another boosted SC here soon we'll have to meet up at the track sometime, i haven't even been to ZMAX yet. I might even buy back my old Teal 1jz SC if i can get that worked out, but i've got a different one near by i'm looking at first.

nice times though man!
