Default Place your bets...

Which Z71 is going to have the first 12 second time slip?

Current leader @ 13.13 ET - BigTex

Add colder weather, hotter bottle, larger jets, less weight...
12s should be no problem.

Challenger @ 13.06 Gtech - Parish8

Frigid Nebraska air, 6 liter, new air box, 10 Pounds boost, 59 pound fuel injectors, Race ready transmission...
Lots of power, 12s or bust!

This is getting fun. I dare say that the next one of us that gets to the track will have the slip. I don't plan on going for a couple months, sooooo.... Parish8 can take the lead. But he's in Nebraska, the tracks are probably closed up for the winter.

Who is it gonna be?

me, me, me!!!

if you count gtech numbers i will be there by the end of the year(if it doesn't blow up on me)

if you don't count gtech numbers than you because i wont make it to a real track till at least march.

now here is the big question, which one of us will be the first to 11's? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'll be happy with 12s. Well... Maybe 12s without nitrous! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I was really thinking about a true timeslip from a 1/4 mile track, but....

Anyone have a Gtech I could use tomorrow? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I can't betray the boost, I am going with Parish8. We will see what happens though. Hopefully I can beat you guys to it with only 6psi?

Are we still talking about 12's <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> I need some more company <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

<img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

<img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> for the winner of this one. I'm fairly confident you both have 12's with your current set-ups....they just need to be dialed in, tweaked and track tested.

Parish8...I'm still reluctant with the G-tech. I have been able to get some times consistant with those I run but I have also got a few in the 12.35 range which may be possible, but doesn't seem consisant with my track times. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I know my weight and running both directions on a very level road.

<img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> nitrous....Go BigTex. I'm sticking to my nitrous brethren...sorry Parish8

Hell, I'm trying to break into the 14s! I guess that I just love being an underdog....go 4.8s! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

EDIT: BTW, my money's on BigTex!
