 Subject: Matched an R/T at Baytown Drags
IP: Logged
Message:
Went to Baytown here in Houston on Friday for the open night of drag racing, $15. It was real hot, 95 degrees, so I knew I would be running slow, but I ran a 15.75@86mph. Guy named Troy with an 01 R/T was running 15.60 when I was running and got down to 15.40 after it got a little cooler. His truck was stock except for Magnecore wires and Cap and Rotor plus a 180 T-Stat so that makes our trucks even performance wise if you ask me. It was hot so I wouldn't doubt we were almost running a second off. Dropped the pressure to 25 in the rears and got some real nice launches slipping it out at about 2000 rpm. Chirping all through 1st and spun way too much going into 2nd everytime. Have to figure out how to control the torque when I nail second. Smoked a Caprice cop car, 260hp, had just about everything I raced up to 3rd gear, around 50mph. Think I had some 2.35 60 foot times. One Turbo VW was quick, I would be way out on him and as soon as I grabbed 3rd I head that turbo whine and he would blow by me. But he said he was only running 15's, but I think he was dipping into the 14's. They don't post times for some gay reason so you have to ask the person later. Raced a Celica with an exhaust, heard that pipe whining but he could never even pull up to my bumper. It was a new one, but debadge so who knows, coulda just been a GT model. Even had a supercharged mustang way out of the whole, guy with a worked R/T and Nitrous smoked him, it was sweet to see that truck eat the blown stang for dinner. Gonna go back asap. 4160 fully loaded and 4050lbs with the tail and jack etc taken out. Add 150 for my stereo and thats about 4000lbs for a stock CC.

Sorry Jim, will have to miss that and the "Tech Session" you're having at your place. Have to drive back home to GA for the 4th. Haven't seen the good ol boys since the holidays. I will be more involved in the fall when it starts to cool off for sure. Or as soon as I get the cams in.
