Hey guys,

I went back to the track this weekend, I got a few miles on it now( nearly 500 ) and I wanted to see what kinda improvements I could get from my tune and a AFE air intake.

My last run at the track was a 9.23 at 78 mph with a 2.18 60 ft. That was completely stock everything.

My best last night was a 8.84 at 81 mph with a 2.01 60ft. I ran a few more 8.8's and 8.9's but I couldn't dip below a 2.0 60ft. It also killed me to burn out my 18" Nitto tires so I really need to get some drag wheels and tires.

All in all .39 or just 4 tenth's improvement in the 1/8th mile is pretty good. I'm really starting to dislike my AFE intake though because of the bent up corner where I had to make it fit with the Roush relay pack so I may be selling it and buying a C&L. I have another manufactor's air intake on the way so I might see how well I like it too.

The main thing was I had a blast showing up all of the 99-04 GT's that were there last weekend running 9.0-9.20's and were taking turns beating me, I ran everyone and beat them all. I can't wait for some good lower controll arms, underdrive pulleys, and wheel/tires and I bet I'll be in the mid 8's.

later Doug.

 

The only problem I had with my AFE was the rattling of the cover. I took it off and it is great now.

Too bad I have to take it off next week.

 

ZEX!!!

 

Nice times Doug! I need to meet you out at 'bama one night, but i'm sure i'll be wishing I had 4.56's for such a short track.

 

I 2nd that!!! ZEX!!! LOL!

 

zex kit just do it best money you can spend.

 

Got Zex ...................Dont even think of those way overpriced Supercharger kits that create a lot of Heat and realy are off on Hot days.My baby is Bottle Fed...................... You dont see any supercharged 05,s running 11,s yet DO YA.......

 

" You dont see any supercharged 05,s running 11,s yet DO YA".......

Nor melting sparkplugs. Will the pistons be next? :scratch:

 

It's Mike's fault he melted the plugs without tuning the car for it. He got a little overzealous. A strong supercharger will mess your car up too if you don't tune it properly.

 

well.... actually Lidio's does... He's running a Vortech... don't remember the complete set up... I've got the video on my website of him running an 11.9XXX something... LOL!

Here a pic from a couple of weeks ago... shows his 1/8 time.. this run finshed up at 11.23... of course he's added some secret sauce to the car to go with the Vortech... LOL! (and no,it's not N2O LOL!)
