Default nice loss to an fbody, experimenting with camcorder

i had a nice race last night, here is a copy of his mods and a link to the video, i might be posting more videos in the future so let me know it the file is too large or even if the link works. he was running ET streets and i don't think he sprayed on me. his best times are 12.18 NA, and 11.51 with nitrous.

Good job, that thing looks like it takes off HARD. That guy probably was not spraying. There is a guy around here with very similar mods, except for the headers, and is running 12.00 @ 111 I think. You need to get your hands on some Lightnings.

Good job, Kent.

Nice video parish8!

That is good quality for such a small video file.

I don't think he sprayed either. He's probably in the low 12's/high 11's with his mods without the spray.

Good run. It looks like that thing launches pretty violent. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

i spin all 4 for a good 10', that is with near new stock firestones(265/75) with 32psi. it is a smooth launch but i think that is because they dont grip all that well. i am going to try running a lower preusre and see if i can get a better launch but if it gets too grippiy the truck starts to lurch and bounce.

that was probably a 1.85-1.90 60', thats what i amlost always see. i was geting 1.81-1.84 60' when i had bald stock firestones on there.

"so what's it like in 4-low?!"

i am not that crazy, hmm, maybe it is something i should look into?

i could program the tranny to shift into 4th at wot, i wonder if it would go over 100mph in 4th/4lo.
