Hubby took my car to the track!!

[F8L 500]

So last week Eddie asked if he could take my car to the track since it's the day for this season and I have no times with my upgrades. I didn't know he was joking with me so I said sure. He took it and pulled a 11.47 @ 123mph! I was pretty happy with the time since he tracked it like I drive it

Here's a video a friend got of his first pass. Of course the guy left before the best pass!!!

Nice run and a good time.....the car is looking great also.

You thought he was joking

He did good.

Was this the raceway around Petersburg, VA? We were there quadding a few weeks ago. I ended up near the track watching the guys run while everyone else was 4 wheeling. It was cool watching them, but I don't know about watching if Bill was running. Somthing about that just seem too much. I did like taking pics and vids of him at VIR, Virginia International Raceway. A strip is just pushing my limits.

Thanks everyone. This was at Richmond. I still can't believe I let him take it out but I wanted times with the upgrades it has now cause I'm sure I will be going alot more upgrades before I get back ;)

That's a great time F8L !!

That does it, I HAVE to get better tires.

The Nitto's made a huge difference.

[VaporDude]

What engine upgrades are you running? Have you dyno'ed that car? How much is it putting out?

[F8L 500]

JLT intake, 2.6 metco pulley and idler, tune, GTA mufflers, frpp springs/struts/shocks, steeda LCAs, panhard bar- dyno'd 534rwhp 539tq
All I've added since then is Nitto 555R's, tru-trac and 3.73 gears.

The Nitto's and 373's helped get it off the line good. If you want a good upgrade without spending a lot of money, try out the Steigemeir Snake Bite kit. I have it on my car and so does Frydguy. I am running 584 RWHP and 583RWTQ on a stock pulley. I am going to try out the 2.9 and 2.8 pulley and see if I can get over 600RWHP.

This is somewhat misleading since the snakebite kit actually changes the internal gear drive of the blower much like running a 2.6 pulley does making the rotors spin faster than a stock blower would.
There is however a limit on how fast you can spin a stock blower and maintain efficency and keep temps manageable, that's why a snakebite blower has to run the stock size (or close to stock) pulley and not a 2.6.

That said there are some definite gains to be made on a stock blower by porting it, not so much on a TVS though.
