New pump gas top dog! stock block too
I went to NYIRP with a few buddies for a private track rental. I brought spare parts like a transfercase, and all 4 axles. Once everyone said hello we all started prepping the cars and unloading all the tools and extra parts and tires we brought.
I mounted up my drag radials and aired them down to 24psi. After shooting the **** and letting the cars cool down, I make my first pass of the day. I was short on the 2step and it seemed to bog just right as I cut a 1.56 60' but then missed second gear still running an 11.4 @ 132.
The next pass I stayed on the 2step a little longer continued doing so the rest of the day, which was actually resulting in worse 60's. This pass was
1.67 60'
7.07 @ 102.3
10.84 @ 132.46
The next pass was damn good minus the wheel spin.
1.62 60'
6.86 @ 104.93
10.56 @ 135.03
The last pass of the day was ok more so just a backer.
1.62 60'
6.94 @ 102.63
10.74 @ 131.34
That was the last pass of the day because I broke my alternator relocation kit. Which I irronically I was just saying to Chris- orzech that I didn't really trust the aluminum bracket and planned to make my own out of steel. I guess I jinxed myself.

Vids to follow.
Here is my alt touching the frame rail and the broken bracket.
Here is a pic of my finished engine bay for this year at least.

Damn that's quick. Engine bay looks nice and tidy, too, even with that huge L/A IC stuffed in there. Are the pump/reservoir and radiator for the IC in the stock smic location?

nikkeebabe- Yes andrew was one of my inspirations for pushing the 93oct. I do have to say that my car weighs more and I'm not on a stroker with full slicks. As well as I'm at the top of the pumpgas list
matthewdesigns- w2a radiator is front mounted and I made a custom resevoir in the driverside windshield washer area
fwdmaster- thanx!
chrish1440- it's in my profile 3080 with driver.

hostile kid- thanks
IvanPSI- ya I couldn't believe the 60's either when I pulled up to the booth. The big things I did this year that I think made the most difference besides the dr's is the active toe elimantion, an alignment, polyurethane pushing in suspension, stiff as shit megan racing coilovers.
ARFWD- from jayracing it was a prototype supposedly for the saturn alt. They already sent me a replacement and requested the broken part back for testing and analysis.

redtsi252- thanks. Was your buddies 2g on stock block?
1fastlaser- boost is 27psi, 10.8 - 11.4afr's depending on rpm as to account for peak torque, 6.5-7.26 degrees of timing. But I haven't checked my cas position since I updated the firmware so it may be off a few degrees.
I have nothing other than 93 and boost pumping into the motor. I have a meth injection kit and nitrous kit if I want to get 9's on pump and additional power adder. I think I'll be limited to a 10.3 time range on 93 alone unless I take some weight out.
I also just want to say that I love this clutch and thank you to Marco from Magnus for selling it to me. I honestly don't think I'd have as good of luck with any other clutch.

redtsi252- It's still cool, 11.2 is still hauling that was my best time last year before nlts.
rhamlinii- If you're asking me then I have to say I honestly don't know, my dyno numbers are from last year on less boost before good cams and my intake manifold. If I had to guess I'd say 500whp max.

You should be able to tastefully get another 200lbs out of that car..
My DD laser is 2900 with driver and by the end of the year Ill have another 70-80 lbs out of it and still have power windows and heat...

Great times, man. Congrats. Who tunes your car???
And your 60' TIMES, JUST F@#$in awesome. I've allways suspected that a great clutch like twin or triple disc does a great job of improving 60' and a 1/4 mile times. Good luck.

My goals are 450whp, 2600lbs car with me in it, and mid to low 10s on the stock bottom end.
