Thanks swoope!

Kersh had a really good pass too, and gained a lot of MPH over last time.


My tires are Nitto 555R drag radials at 18psi (315/35/17). It was getting kinda chilly out..i'd say maybe it was 58 degrees out?

Congrats, man!

With a 150 shot, think you might see a 10.9x second run?

That's what I'm hoping for. But before I spay, I think I'd like to improve on my N/A power. I have the stock throttle body and an LS6 intake, so I think a FAST 90/90 would help out a lot.

Then this winter or spring I'll get that nitrous on the car.



Yaaaaarrrr I see golden treasure on the horizon...it be 10 second slips!

i trapped 95.3mph, thats +2.3 than my previous best run.

im hoping that with the headers that should be coming soon and my race pipe i'll be able to hit 14.3.

hopefully.

with a bhr flyhweel+clutch and drag radials, i know i can hit 13s n/a.

Yah, I bet it would help a bunch, since youre heads/cam. Also, you can then get a 90mm plate system to match the throttle body.

there are a few 11 second rx8s.

mazsport has a dyno @ 380whp. the rx8 only weighs 3000lbs, thats definitely good for well into the 11s.
