TurboChevelle Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 I wasn't sure if it was possible or not to get my stock 04 into the 14's tonight, but it did it on the very first pass. I did take the spare off the truck today and the gas tank was near empty, so I'm sure that helped quite a bit. One advantage I have here in Portland is our alititude which is about 60' Lately I've been thinking about doing some things to the truck. I thought if I could get it into the 14's I would have a good chance of making it into the 13's with as little money as possible. I like spending my other funds on my Chevelle. Here is the run down. 1st pass... 2.145 60' 9.468 @ 74.13 1/8th and 14.916 @ 89.03 1/4 2nd pass... 2.146 60' 9.481 @ 73.86 1/8th and 14.934 @ 89.02 1/4 3rd pass... 2.146 60' 9.507 @ 73.47 1/8th and 15.012 @ 87.85 1/4 The consitant 60fts blew me away. I always staged shallow to help out the ETs, so me bumping in contributed to the duplication. I was also surprised that it droped off so much the 3rd pass, I let the truck cool all the way down and the outside air temp had droped a lot. I had hoped it would have picked up enough to run an 14.89. I just thought I would share my results from tonight. I can't wait to get a t-stat and a tune in the truck to see how much I can pick up.

Corey Don't be too disappointed when that "as little as possible" turns into "several thousand". I ran high 14's when I bought my truck with only a CAI. Well cam, long tubes, different CAI, custom tune, built tranny, shift kit, converter, and $3,000 later, I still ain't run a 13. Good luck. The cheapest route will be N02 and even that will cost you over a grand to do it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been chasing the 9's in my Chevelle for awhile now and trying to do it on a small tire in street trim. It's very adicting, but I love it For some reason I keep seeing the word Radix all around town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerJJ Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 (edited) "I was also surprised that it droped off so much the 3rd pass, I let the truck cool all the way down and the outside air temp had droped a lot. I had hoped it would have picked up enough to run an 14.89." Our trucks like to hot lap (at least mine does). Cooling down for a long period of time almost always slows me down some. Great times anyway...you should be very proud of those. Edited May 29, 2007 by RacerJJ (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2003SS Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I have a Yank TT2600 and his 60ft are BETTER than mine! Congrats man, good runs. I've spent lots of money and I am only .2 tenths ahead of you. I have issues with my truck though that I am trying to sort out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 There are only a handfull of SSS's that have made it into the 14's stock. You're doing well with your truck for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorredss Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Congrats on great times, I need to take mine out to the track again, I havent ran it since I out everything in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboChevelle Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for the kind words guys. I know our altitude was driving force to get it to dip into the 14's. Anybody who reads this should take this into consideration when comparing a truck with or without mods. RacerJJ, If I take the truck back out, I will keep the temps up and see what that does for consistancy and low ET's Right now I'm trying to decide on which tuner to go with, but I also want to couple that with the 160 T-stat and the CAI. If I get to this point I'll let you guys know how much of a difference this makes. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw .3 difference w/ the 160* t-stat and a street tuned mail order tune. (if that makes sense to you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Pretty danged good for a stock truck IMO. What the heck is the matter with your Chevelle's 60 foot times??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboChevelle Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Pretty danged good for a stock truck IMO. What the heck is the matter with your Chevelle's 60 foot times??? From a normal bracket racing stand point it doesnt add up for the ET the car runs. I foot brake the car to 3000 and leave on zero boost, even at that it doesn't hook very well. At 16lbs of boost it make 640rwhp with 22% converter slippage. Here are a couple vids from a few weeks ago. The second link I started to eat up a piston after the 1/8th I was 109.7mph at the 1/8. The main problem was running out of fuel pump, it had been really flat at the top and would stop pulling. http://www.blackholehunter.com/Videos/Head...oreyvsmisha.wmv http://www.blackholehunter.com/Videos/Head...yvspatfinal.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
