New Best time for myself…
11.01@129mph 60ft was a 1.77 I was pissed and happy at the same time.
10’s are soooo close…but SO far.
I bet the 1100ft-lb springs in the rear are not helping me.
This car is SO wrong for drag racing.
Let’s see if this AEM with it’s 2-step will help me get the launch down.

roe ? paxton? tires? Thats killer getting that close to a 10 sec run. My best on dr's,exhaust, and intake is 12.00 at 118. Only about six passes at the track so far, but I know what you mean by close.

Kumho V700’s 335/30/18’s
It’s all motor. No Roe, Paxton or TT.
This car is going to be a slow built into a 1500rwhp TT monster, that’s why I picked up the AEM.

Congrats. Bangin' on the door of a 10.x, with a N/A engine and street tires is no joke.

Congrats on the the time Bobby. 10's are closer then you think. You are only a wink away from the magic #10 with an NA motor

Thanks Kelly
Rick, If I could rip off a few 1.65’s like you…I’d be in the 10’s already. When are you going to show my dumb ass how to launch this b!tch.
We are going to start seeing 10’s as being common place for N/A Vipers. Any N/A Viper with 575rwhp-580rwhp can hit 10’s
I’ve made 565rwhp…then yanked the cats so it’s safe to say I’m making 570rwhp
OK…off to practice my launch on an undisclosed track. Myself, Red and Mr.G-Tech are going to have a talk.

Pretty dam good! I hit an 11.09 @ 129 mph with a 1.8 60ft. Then I decided to launch @ 3000 rpms... And hit my 10.9 @ 129.7 mph with a 1.62 60ft. But I was on the hooser drag radials. Your in the tens! With a better 60ft. props!

Very cool! Yea, go play with that G-Tech. It can do wonders for learning how to launch. Just go with some 0-60mph runs and master that. Then head back to the track.

Seriously, I’m and Electrical Engineer….how much could I possibly make? I’m almost capped right now making 60k/yr. I’m always looking for something that pays better. If someone could get me a hook-up for a 100k/yr gig, that would make this build go MUCH faster.
I like project management. I did that when I was a FSE. I LOVED IT.

On a side note, are all guys like Vipers….we perform best when blown by twins.

Congrats, it should be easy to swap those rear springs with 750 lb'ers. Or, just try on some BFG's.
