First off had a blast today with dctg8 (Dustin) and Zodiac (Dan). The weather was perfect and the cars were running awesome!!!! Got to run a cammed ls3 ss camaro and a 5.0 with slicks. Couldn't be happier with the performance of the car! Rick is the man!
Best time: 11.8801 @ 119.55
Best trap of the day: 120.64mph
Wish I lived in NC, had more play $, and more free time. I'd be hanging out with you guys and modding more and would be having a blast doing it. Can't wait to see the go pro vids!!
I had a great time today. Both of your cars were extremely impressive, I couldn't be happier with my performance either. Since that one video cut off at the end I went 12.72 @ 111.88 stock. She has more in her just gotta learn. Glad to see a record fall in person.
Nice times Troy. Unfortunately I won't get gto fronts since I have brembos in the wings to go on but I'm hoping to get into 11s with just drags this time.
Get some good air and I have no doubt it will do it. At least you have something to shoot for now!:wink2:
I think mine has a little bit more left in it. I had to leave about two hours early this evening, and missed the passes right at dusk when the temps really dropped off into the 40's. Thats when Dustin was able to put down that screaming 122 mph trap. Ill be heading back in the next couple weeks that is for sure.
That's awesome Troy!! I haven't done much with mine in a while. Trying to buy a house before I get married in June!!! Congrats again on the times tho!! U need a 3200 and 3.27's and u would come down in the e/t's!! Anyways awesome times!!!!
I'm putting a new cam in mine at the end of this month, and once tuned will get some DR's.
If I can get some good air maybe I can get close to you and Brent. May not have GTO fronts though and I know that helps.
What was the DA and temps there today Troy? It was -500' at my house today.
NICE RUNS!! Get that 60' down and you'll drop into them 11's MUCH further, especially with those traps.. My TBSS only trapped 115mph with a 3800 stall with the stock 4:10's RWD, and head/cam.. Cut me an 11.70 with a 1.60 short time.. Gonna tough as hell to get a short time like that with these without some big traction and rear end mods, not to mention a nice convertor.. BUT... Pretty damn sweet to see you run what you did man!
Not only did you already have one of the fastest NA stock stall G8s around, once you got that unbelievable air you have probably distanced yourself from the rest of us for some time.
The skinnys up front with drag radials to reduce wheel spin down the track was obviously huge as well. You have done what many have not been able to do. You put together the perfect combination of mods, tuning, drag pack and Arctic weather all at the same time. Props to you man!
Thanks a lot man! When I first joined the site over a year ago your car and build threads were a true inspiration that got the wheels in motion on my ride. And thanks to this board I met Rick and found out that he lived close by. At that point nature took its course and Rick does what he does best. He deserves the bulk of the credit. I heeded his advice every time he gave it, not to mention his mechanical talent is out of this world. We are only getting started...
