News from the creek - reports of an 11.6 @ 118mph for "Criso's" 382 combo...they've made a few adjustments and looking to pick up another tenth or so tonight. PLANB's cold air pickup helped a little with et and mph so I hear....thanks Pete.

On ya Criso.:thumbsup:

Not such a good night for me with some valve spring issues.
But that will be fixed and its back to the creek.

Pete, that was very nice of you to let Mark win. :D

Spacey, after all these years, your not getting the bug too hey? ;)

C&V's SV8 ran very well on a wet shot. 1.61-60' 11.4's @ 117 MPH all night. Not bad really. :burnout:

LMAO Peter...I've been watching way to much ESPN I fear. :D

Be a pity not to grab some acceleration data for myself , so yeah ...sting'n to have a go at the 1/4.

I'm just waiting now for my bucket of bolts to get run in and tuned up . Once she's fully run in , I'll be seriously thinking about giving her a run. Might have to invest in some Hoosiers at some point and a set of Garry's 'get stuffed' axles :nyuk:

Well I had an OK night - really struggled learning how to launch the M6 properly and still don't have it down pat.

After several runs in the low 14's improving by about .1 sec each time, I finally cracked a 13.8@101.22mph, but still with a pretty ordinary 2.24sec 60ft time.

I was running full street trim.

My last run of the night, had a much better start and pulled a 2.17s 60ft time, would have been a screamer of a run if I had got 3rd gear after 2nd instead of 5th ;-( Based on the improvements I saw in ET on earlier runs as my 60ft times improved, plus my highest mph on other runs which was 102, I reckon I should have got down to around 13.6 or maybe even 13.5 if I could drive properly.

What have others with an M6 ran in the past with similar mods to mine? Ie, exhaust, CAI, MAF pipe, Edit - 219rwkw on Sams Dyno?

A highlight of the night though was a line up against a stock manual XR6 Turbo - killed it!! Lol! Even with a 14.0 flat run, I was 5-6 car lengths ahead across the line - he was running high 14s all night and seemed dissapointed that all the LS1s were wasting him ;-)

Top night! Need to get back once more though and keep working on my starts - try and not burn my clutch out, change gears properly etc and I reckon I should get into the mid 13s - then I will be happy! Maybe I should wait until next winter when it will be nice and cold......


Cheers,

Beej
