Street tire, stock LT1 Drag Strip times posted...
Went to Rock Falls Raceway Sunday for the last "Fun Day" of the year...it was my 3rd time ever to a real track, and I made it to the 5th round of eliminations (actually won a trophy...kinda cool).
Here are my best 1/4's...
...........Run 1.......Run 2
R/T____.407_____.098
60'___2.096_____2.100
1/4__13.590____13.591
MPH__104.83____99.93
What a beautiful day today...and it was nice to take home the hardware.
BTW...I lost the 5th round of Street Eliminator (it felt funny with just a couple of cars in staging)...here is how much I lost by...
________ME____Other guy
Dial___13.55______13.51
R/T_____.098_______.046
60'____2.100______2.073
1/4___13.591_____13.552
So, there is usually so much debate on the forum about what will an LT1 do...here is what an LT1 will do with a slightly experienced driver...

After the open air box, 160 therm, TB bypass, fan overide my time went to
13.40, didnt run it yet with the Corsa exhaust. Still on Goodyear HP Ultras

That's better than what I'm currently running. With the Corsa and my new heavy wheels, I'm averaging a 13.65.
I think I'll be getting rid of these black 5 spokes that weigh a ton, I was much happier when I was running consistent 13.1-13.2

Mojo,how much did the heavy wheels affect your MPH?What is a good set of lightweight wheels for everyday use?

What happened to the mph on run 2?
I'm using aftermarket GS wheels Mojo...they weigh the same as the sawblades I took off...next year I'm going to get some sticky tires and put them on my old sawblades.
BTW, if anyone is curious, I run Yokohama street tires...

Re: Street tire, stock LT1 Drag Strip times posted... (gears)
gears, those wheels weigh about 5 lbs more each than stock.
I used to run 13.00's quite often with most of my runs in the 13.10's all with 1.9 60's.
Now I can barely get a 2.0 60' and 13.35 is the best so far.
My mph went up to 108 with th eCorsa, with the muff elims I couild only manage 106.

Later I'll post a vid of me breaking loose in the 1 to 2 shift...couldn't believe the car would break loose (didn't think it was powerful enough).
Still Mojo...low 13's with streets is waaay impressive...
