Stock TPI vette goes........

I ran a new best! met up with tpivette89 and his girlfriend tonight at Cecil County Dragway and had some awesome passes! it was 58 degrees and 81% humidity but the track was biting like a ****! all times on 20 psi goodyear F1 285/40/17 's.

i'll list the runs in order.

1st Run:
RT: -.059
60' 1.949
330 5.618
1/8 8.668
MPH 81.13
1000 11.294
1/4 13.517
MPH 101.77

this pass i was around 165 water temp when i staged. didn't spin at all but didn't fully stall out at 1500 rpm. overwound 2nd gear at 5300 rpm.

2nd Run:
RT: .180
60' 1.905
330 5.528
1/8 8.544
MPH 83.14
1000 11.166
1/4 13.384
MPH 101.97


still didn't get the stall right. water temp was at 120 degrees. i got a free run on this pass which screwed me up cause i thought the other guy was doing a burnout and i started to back up to do a dry launch to find my stall speed and i got waved to the line which threw off my concentration. overwound 2nd again at around 5200 rpm. 4900-5000 rpm is where i want to shift. if i leave it in drive even after adjusting the TV cable it only shifts between 4600-4800 rpm.

3rd Run:
RT: .155
60' 1.979
330 5.658
1/8 8.722
MPH 80.79
1000 11.349
1/4 13.588
MPH 99.48

this run totally sucked. i staged very shallow and was ready to get the stall right and the car pulled alittle but luckily i caught it but i was almost deepstaged and it threw me off on the stall speed as i didn't really have enough time to get it set. overwound 1st and 2nd at around 5300 rpm and lost 2 mph.

Current Mods:
Mostly stock all free mods K&N open air box, MAF descreened, TB Bypassed, 160* T-Stat, Accel Super Coil, 12* degree advance timing, new front Y pipe with no pre-cats, and No Mufflers. Stock 1600 rpm stall and a 2.59 rear gear.

when i seen the 13.3 timeslip i was jumping out of the car! i said it would run if i hooked up a 13.3-13.4 but i really thought the 13.3 was very optimistic. i think with some alittle more tuning and low humidity/cooler air temps she'll pull a low 13.2 @ 102 mph. my goal is break a 12 second pass with a stock TPI, stock Trans with stock stall on the 2.59 rear gear. for less than 200 bucks in mods this car is dipping in LS1 territory and the motor never been cracked open!
