I went to the Fayetteville Motorsports Park in Fayetteville, NC. Sunny, no wind, high of 60 degrees. Here are my times in order:

I let my car cool down to where I like it and ran a 14.94 @ 92.08mph.

Then, I was so excited and only had about an hour left. Since an hour wasn't enough time to let my car cool down to where I want it (hot today and no wind to cool my motor down), I went ahead and started hot lapping.

To my surprise, I ran a 14.99 @ 91.91mph.

Then I hot lapped and immediately ran a 14.95 @ 92.49mph.

Then I hot lapped again and ran my best of 14.93 @ 92.61mph. And the track was closed, so I couldn't get anymore runs in.

I can't believe that the VE performed so well while warm with a known bad KS.

My mods are:

Custom Ram Air Intake
WSP Ypipe
ASP UDP
Advanced Timing to 20* BTDC
Removed AC Belt
WSP Testpipe
Maximum Tuning Valve Body
Removed seats and gutted trunk

Oh yeah, here is my full timeslip from my best run:

60' 2.3400
330' 6.3698
1/8 9.6696@74.83mph
1000' 12.5091
1/4 14.9374@92.61mph

 

yay! and I was there to witness it! -claps-

 

where are the pics?

 

congrats man

 

i'm working on that right now. I have a picture of his 14.94 run and I think he scanned his slip of his 14.93 run.

 

yeah, I took a pic of my timeslip. I need to scan it, geez, I need to frame this bad boy!!

At the drag strip, everyone was looking at me funny cause I was SO excited. If yall only knew how 'umpossible' I thought this was. And to see my time jump from a 15.23 straight to a 14.93 with just messing with my intake tubing, testpipe, and removed seats.... I couldn't believe it.

I am now a believer in Ram Air and Cold Air intakes!!!

 

Glad to hear you finally did it man!! It was inevitable(I thought you were going to do it in Kinston). I wish I was there to see it but as you may have heard my car was not insured at the time and I was low on cash. Hope to see you sometime before you move back to Vegas. And BTW everbody that is me he is beating in his sig.

 

Thanks man. I have 3, maybe 4 more things I will have done to my car before next time I go to the track. With the work I plan to do, I should be running about 2 tenths faster. I think that is a conservative estimate. We'll see.

My plan is to get these mods done quickly and run at Fayetteville before I move to Vegas at the end of January. So, once I find out the date I am going to the track, I will annouce it in our DC forum.

Once I get to Vegas, my car will be exactly 4 tenths slower. But I can meet up with the SoCal boys and show them what my automatic can do. I should run only 2 tenths slower in Fontana if it's a decent track that is sticky. So, it MAY be possible that I can maintain my 14's status while out west.
