Paulford8 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Ran 12.61 then 12.5 still trying to beat my pb of 12.44. Kinda sux there are lots of cars. Lane moving slow and lots of breakage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue402A Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Paul smoked me when we got paired up. My pb was 14.3 at 96 mph. Traction was not great at all I ran 5 runs and got beat by Paul by 3 seconds and a Camaro Z28 by 1 little over a second, I had him all the way thru 1000ft and he passed me at the end otherwise I won the other 3.

bpd1151 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Nice runs fellas! Considering the temps outside, i'm surprised y'all didn't experience more traction related issues. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Here is my best run. I had beat a guy from work with a quick talon earlier in 2012. He wanted a re-match and talked tons of smack (steelblue heard some of it). So we line up and he starts with 4 cylinders but ends with 3. My race with him was my best run traction and et. I spun in 1st and 2nd on this run but the 1.8 60 and 8.0 1/8 mean I must have hooked enough. I think she had 12.3s in her today but there were so many cars.... Lots of break downs too. Truck shot a back wheel off, Mustang dropped trans, CRV popped front driveshaft off.... I also think 20" wheels would have helped with traction and trap. My best runs were all 111 trap, little bigger wheel mean a little faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 BTW nice to meet you SteelBlue (Mike right?)! We will have to see if we can get a few more SHO's to Cordova this year on one of the open track days. I know yours will be quicker. In crappy conditions with a full tank of gas you ran what they are suppose to run stock. Better track and 1/4 tank of gas your high 13s.

Paulford8 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pic I took with phone of 2/3 of the Ecoboosts there. Picture is SteelBlue402A's 2010 PP and mine. The other was an F150. He isnt on this board but is already considering the Livernois tune. I encouraged him to check us out so maybe he will show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoman04 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Paul & Mike sound like you guys had a great time!! Mike I ran 13.7 @ 97deg with a full tank to but I was running 93 oct and a K&N FILTER IN THE STOCK AIR BOX. This Dyno at 298whp about 30hp more than 87 oct. I know you will be tune soon but 97oct makes a drifferents even on a stock car!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelBlue402A Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 [video=youtube;jOPhhn4KveU] Here's Paul and I we got paired up. He beat me. We sat there forever because the guy in front of us red lighted and had his window rolled down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that the track looked in rather good shape for this time of year...how was the traction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue402A Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I ran 4 runs in right lane and not too bad slipped a little on takeoff,1-2, 2-3. The one pass I did in left lane had me slipping enough I let off it some. Paul can probably attest to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulford8 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Well traction was OK for the conditions. I spun in 1st and 2nd but last time out with the methanol I spun in 1st and 2nd. The slow down/run off had some posts... So you over 100 MPH and see ice patches coming up. Nobody wrecked in the slow down but I talked to a guy that ran 11.9 said he had more and was scared to push hard for fear of not getting stopped. All and all though it was fun. Super cold but at least the sun was out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue402A Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Wife was doing the video, told her to zoom in at the time board after each run(may need a better camera) and didnt see any of the video's til after we were done. So I couldn't criticize her too much, plus she stood out in the cold most of the time. People around her were all talking about the SHO's and asking her questions, you can hear some comments on the vid's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue402A Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Paul I got the x pipe today and have appt in the morning for exhaust I will see if he will let me take pics. I will post some sound vids too if anyone is curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142857 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Looks like you guys had a great time despite the cold (it was to be expected)... I actually would wish to try dragging in those conditions. With your 60ft it looks lime even if you were spinning, you actually were moving forward pretty well. Do you know by any chance what was the DA for that day? Steel: you will love the xpipe with exhaust! You should have it tuned accordingly for optimal performance...
