Vortech 1/8th mile for you FI guys. (PICS INSIDE)
I put this here instead of the DRAG section because a lot of FI guys dont really visit that section. I know I usually dont. So I thought I'd put it here for all of the FI guys to see what a Vortech can do at the track. First of all, on the way to the track I had a run with a 99 C5 vette with intake and exhaust. we went from 60 to 135 or so, by the end I had about 2 or 3 cars on him i think.
We dont have a 1/4 mile track anywhere around here so i had to settle with the local 1/8th mile track.
A while back i got an 8.9 1/8th and 13.5 1/4 mile in Rockingham N.C.
Today I managed to pull off a half second faster than my previous personal best. Went from an 8.9 E.T. at 78 MPH to 8.4119 E.T. at 86.87 MPH. I figure this would be good for high 12's since I was a half second faster by the 1/8th mark.
i attached a few time slips. the last pic is of one of my timeslips held next to the acceloremeter. damn thing showed the exact same 1/8th mile time. The mph was slower on the acceloremeter then what i actually ran. pretty cool toy though.

i have 7.9 on my 12.3 run
looking through a lot of time tickets, you should be able to pull off high 12s on really wide drag radials or on some slicks,
you should pick up 21 or 22 mph on the second 1/8th, so you would be trapping 107-108
maybe possible with a good good run on street tires
i am 8.2 on a couple 12.6 and 12.8 runs
i am 8.3 on a few 12.9 and 13.0 runs
nice to see more people putting some quarter mile times down Good job!!!
i have my beltronics sitting here but no lighter plug in for it up front so i havent used it in the Z

i didnt do anything to improve the time. i am however hitting 1 more lb of boost from when it was tuned. i had the car tuned at cpracing back in august and ran it that day. and could only manage a 13.5 1/4 mile at 109 mph. wheel hopping bad. yesterday i managed to to get the 8.4 somehow even with some wheel hop.

Not sure why i have that much tq, 342 is nice but would still like to have more. i also have headers, test pipes and a borla td exhaust. as well as the 3.12 pulley for the vortech. I would actually think that would make less tq because of the lack of backpressure. at less than 8 lbs of boost i was getting 400 hp and 342 tq. im now hitting just over 9 lbs of boost. going to a dyno on saturday to check and see how it's running. i'll keep everyone updated.

I raced this car on the way to the track, did a 60 roll to about 140 or so, had 2 or so car lenghts on him, 99 vette with intake and exhaust.

"waiting for alberto to tell you to get your 60' to 2.0"
guess I'm too late
