Heading back to Firebird Friday night to chase that 11sec slip. The wife told me to go back and get that slip for my bday.:highfive:

Anyone else wanna come play at the track next weekend????

10-28-07, 06:57 PM
I might make it out. Prolly won't beat on the car for a while though. I think I've pushed the tranny enough. :yes: Might come out and play on the DR's and motor though.
Indy
10-28-07, 07:18 PM
Sweet time to get a new best N/A for ya. Your 4.10's and DR's will put you crossing the trap at the top of your RPMs in 4th which is perfect for 1/4, as long as they hook you'll get a new N/A best for sure!:highfive:
AZSonicSnake
10-28-07, 07:33 PM
thinking the cobra will make it out again too. this time will be on pump gas though since i put 30 bucks in yesterday.
Indy
10-28-07, 07:35 PM
SWEET that make 2 or 3 of us in the first hour!

Anyone else coming????

10-28-07, 08:32 PM

AZSonicSnake
10-28-07, 08:35 PM

I might possibly go, just on my street tires though, dont want run slicks or anything and break my rear end (literally) Havent been to the track in a long while, I'll see how the exhaust helped out.

P.S. You guys meeting at PSR or anything and then rolling out? Ive never been to firebird to race and I dont know how to get there.
fazm
10-28-07, 11:43 PM
take the 10 east until wild horse pass. (goes ray, chandler, pecos, wild horse)

turn right off the freeway, then your first left, and then u cant miss it, its on ur left

I will probably head there straight from the shop after I get off work around 6-6:30. Big T met me at the shop this weekend I'm not sure if he plans to do the same next weekend.
AZSonicSnake
10-29-07, 12:49 AM
yup. i will meet at the shop. its the easiest way to go about it.

btw- sounding like the video and pic crew will be out again... :woot1:

I think I might strip the interior this time out.:yes: And I'll finish wiring in the bottle heater this week for sure.
OH3MGSVT
10-29-07, 12:55 AM
sweet well make that a 3rd who will be meeting you guys at the shop. I've been itchin to go racing since I got my exhaust on and now I have a little extra cash so I can hit that track finally. :woot2:

Hey Tony you think your "video crew" will be able to tape a couple of my runs? I wanna hear what it sounds like on video with the Magnapack setup
Indy
10-29-07, 12:57 AM
Cool we will see ya Friday night then. So that makes atleast 5 of us heading out again this weekend, this is shaping up to be a go time again.
AZSonicSnake
10-29-07, 01:09 AM

sure thing. i will have them on the lookout for our cars when we are out. as you saw, the three that went last week got all three of the vids up. :woot1:
OH3MGSVT
10-29-07, 01:11 AM
Good deal, I appreciate it. Its been a while since Ive seen the ol PSR gang and big T so It'll be cool to see the regular gang again and best of all RACE!

10-29-07, 01:30 AM
ive got another guy coming with an 03 cobra, and maybe another with an 07 gt, and another with an 06 v6
AZSonicSnake
10-29-07, 01:32 AM
kick ass. too bad we can't call ahead and reserve an HPS lane! :sticktonge:
fazm
10-29-07, 01:34 AM
im hopin they have the usually "slick only" lanes (far right 2). makes it so some of us get more runs in, or less waiting, whichever u like lol
AZSonicSnake
10-29-07, 01:49 AM
they had it last week. i kept going over to that lane and did not have to wait as long. but nothing was said about that in tech, but its all good.
Indy
10-29-07, 01:57 AM

Thats what the far left lanes were for, dang I didn't know that.

My ET Streets qualify for that lane, right?
fazm
10-29-07, 02:00 AM
if u have slicks/dot slicks/ or ur just really quick. you get to use the far right 2 lanes.
Indy
10-29-07, 02:04 AM
Sweet that means I can get a few more passes in then. Because those lanes were never very long. You can get to those lanes through the gate in the fence by the walking bridge when the staging lanes are backed up, right?
03cobrazzz
10-29-07, 01:47 PM
he i want some fun too i will drive that far wen you all go when do we meet at the shop?
Indy
10-29-07, 03:40 PM
I plan to head to the track after work Friday night. If anyone wants to meet me at the shop and roll out at the same time let me know. I plan to leave around 6:30, so if your heading out with me be at the shop around 6:20 or so. As long as I have a list of people meeting me at the shop, we wont leave with out ya, but try to be there before 6:30.
fazm
10-29-07, 09:05 PM
ill be at the track by 6:30 this friday.
Indy
10-30-07, 12:03 AM
I wish I could get there that early, but the shop doesn't close till 6. So it will probably be around 7 by the time I make it to the track.
fazm
10-30-07, 12:08 AM
well i close at 6 too :) i just have a 2 to 2.5 mile drive lol
Indy
10-30-07, 12:36 AM

i'll be heading there with my car also my friends bringing his 99 trans am and another is taking his 97 slowbra
ASUSMC
10-30-07, 12:23 PM
Would love to go out. Only problem is with this motor thing kickin my butt I don't have money for tires. I dont even get any kind of traction on the street with these nearly bald Toyos so the track is pretty much out of the picture.
Ruckus46gt
10-30-07, 12:51 PM
what time do the gates open. Have a decent drive so want the car to cool down.
4doorfoxy

10-30-07, 11:29 PM
yea friends ls1 cant run his spray at the track doesnt have a blow down tube or fire jacket plus his tires arent here yet. Torched mach or indy i'll run you guys motor to motor. I'm only full exhaust , lid, and a 3k stall on a nitto. Full weight
AZSonicSnake
10-30-07, 11:31 PM
something gives me a good feeling that indy is not gonna be wanting to turn that bottle off this friday. :yes: :Bucktooth:
Indy
10-30-07, 11:36 PM
Sounds fun, but I'm going hunting for 11's. So my bottle will be on for every pass :laughing1:. Besides I only run low 13's N/A, but if I get my 11sec slip early in the night I'll run ya N/A. Should be a close race, although my T/C is built to run the bottle so I'm not a fast as I should be N/A.

TorchMach might wanna run ya N/A:yes: since he already got his 11 sec slip, he is just going out for fun this weekend.
Indy
10-30-07, 11:37 PM

10-30-07, 11:46 PM
is the bottle mounted in the car? if its in the trunk i dont think u need a blow down tube (they didnt ask me) and getting/borrowing someones jacket is easy.
Ruckus46gt
10-30-07, 11:48 PM
my stall is to small for spray or for n/a. I'm looking to move up to yank ss4000 for spray or n/a. Even though i should probely only do a 3600 for spray. Who knows might meet up in the middle and do a 3800 . I'm looking to keep the car as it is and go faster. Just some suspension and who knows maybe lighten up the car a little. Right now full weight i'm barely in to the 12's so could be a good race still indy

no matter where its mounted your supposed to have a blow down tube. I told him send it up in my buddy's car since he doesnt want to run his cobra (97 stuck in the 14s on street tires). After tech to mount it and he doesnt plan on spraying it till the end of 2nd and through 3rd since hes on street tires so should only run mid to low 12s tops i'd say (6.0l with a very small cam)
Indy
10-30-07, 11:55 PM
They didn't even ask to see my fire jacket or even check for a blow down tube last weekend. And I don't have a hidden system either its out there in the engine bay for all to see, no secerts here.:sticktonge:
Ruckus46gt
10-30-07, 11:58 PM
hum maybe we will have to try. I'm going to head up there early get something to eat around there and then head to the track. Dont feel like sitting in traffic and coming from luke cars going to be extremely hot and dont have an auto fan switch to cool the car down. I'm looking to get the car to run 12.7 this time out, maybe better if i can stall the car up and hook on these nittos. So far i've only been able to stall the car up and launch from 1200rpms. My new brakes should be here friday but doubt i'll have time after work. Ordered slotted and drilled zinc coated rotors and hawk hps pads.
Indy
10-31-07, 12:09 AM
What PSI are you running your nittos at?
fazm
10-31-07, 12:24 AM
can a v6 play with the SS? :)
Ruckus46gt
10-31-07, 12:39 AM
running the nittos at 18psi

fazm i'm down but 1 power adder(not sure if your running turbo or turbo and nitrous since you said you had a bottle earlier in the post). Oh yea and under 10psi of boost
fazm
10-31-07, 12:57 AM
nitrous doesnt go in the motor, but yes i do have nitrous (sprays the intercooler).
so if i keep it at 9.9psi ull race? :)

i really want an 11 friday, i dunno if i can do it on 10psi though.
OH3MGSVT
10-31-07, 01:03 AM
Well I got some good news, I'll be able to get those 26x8.5x15 Mickey Thompson slicks I was looking at. so I can finally be able to launch the car and hopefully get my 13.7 with just exhaust and tires. :hyper:

oh, and I saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Gieco..
Dan
10-31-07, 01:38 AM

I might run ya a pass or two N/A. I'm hoping to go 12.7 N/A as well. I haven't decided if I'm gonna spray or not. I think I might, then take myself out of commision for a while. Gotta get a new tranny, and battle boxes and torque boxes welded in. Maybe some front suspension and skinnies too.

guy with the 97 cobra heading up with me wont run. He is making up excuses, head tick or exhaust leak, no tires. He is running bfg kdw's and he has had a noise since he got the car and beats on it all the time. Think he just doesnt want to run a high 13 instead of a 14 the last time out

That Carl's Jr. is on the West side of the I10 if it's the one they are talking about. You can't miss it right when you exit. I might swing by and meet up with you guys if I get off early enough.

What???? Nitrous loves tight converters. You run a yank 4k and spray it and you will be slower than if you sprayed your stock converter.

yea i have no idea why i wrote the first time. I ment to say my stall is to small and am not sure if i want to say spray or n/a. i want to up the stall to a 4k , but am having thoughts of spraying it so should go up to a 3600 (want to be able to run good n/a but still run good on spray if i go that way...hci in the future)
Dan
11-04-07, 01:46 PM
I would try and get a super tight converter like a 3k that way when you hit it with the nitrous it will stal around 34-3600 that would make it come out of the hole real good
