Finally in the 10's....
Ok, got to the track Friday night. Overall cannot complain one bit.
Pretty solid weather - DA was 1058 feet, not ideal, but not awful. Onto the good stuff.
1st pass: All boost with meth/water injection / ported blower
60' 1.68
330' 4.70
1/8 7.14 @ 100.35
1000 9.25
11.02 @ 125.7
For the record, the car has never...ever...60 footed that hard. Almost all the gains here were in the 1st half of the track, both ET and mph. If you check out my other thread, you can see huge torque gains I have down low over previous tune. The guys at PowerHaus Performance knocked it out of the park. I can't properly describe how the car feels down low / mid-range. Proper tune, on a mustang dyno...go figure.
Now it's party time on the bottle.
60' 1.71
330' 4.68
1/8 7.07 @ 99.73
1000 9.13
10.88 @ 128.6
Best part was the look on people's faces and the cheers as I drove up the return lane...top down....
It was a 70 shot on a progressive controller. And you can easily tell it's set to a SLOWWWW ramp up. Not bad for the first hit and we'll make some adjustments to bring the nitrous in more quickly. Once we get that dialed in, I still think the car will go 10.55-10.65
This was all on regular 92oct pump gas + meth/water injection. Ran like a champ, kept the shiny side up and all the parts inside the engine.
The tune is spot on, anyone local should swing by and take it for a spin - it's ridiculous.

Let's see.
24psi cold in 19" MT drag radials - trac control is totally turned off, dynamic mode, car in Sport.
Basically just light on the brake at the line and then WOT and launch - pretty much right off idle.
What part of your launch do you have a problem with?

Awesome and congrats.
Give yourself some credit for driving skills. You're launch technique is pretty much what I would do on my 10.3@133 Camaro, and it makes a big difference. Launch off idle, I would cut low 1.5 60's on MT DR's while the other guys were trying to brake torque it to 3000 rpm+ and wondering if they needed slicks.
I built my Camaro to be a "mid-summer mid-10 second" car. Looks like you've almost got that.
Of course, if you're racing at E-Town, it doesn't count... (We Southern racers are jealous of your DA .)

Thanks for your input. I think I need different tires. Heck I know I need different tires. How are the M & T's for everyday driving around; or do you just use them on the strip?

Haha, even better than E-Town, I race at Atco!! DA was 1083 and as you probably know, sometimes it even goes negative I have no idea how you Southern folks deal with all that heat and crazy humidity down there - more power to ya.
JagSTR - yeah man, you know I'll be trying for that all boost 10 second pass. As for other mods, once I'm happy with the times from this setup and...recovered from spending the $$ to do it!...I'll probably get ahold of the guys at Velocity for a setup of proper downpipes and see if they'll do an exhaust too or drop in a Quicksilver exhaust. Get a few HP and drop some pounds.
Rob - glad you're getting to the bottom of it, racing is great and frustrating at the same time, isn't it?! Def need tires, it'll be a great investment and you'll like the track alot more I generally run them only at the track...but...I do street drive them from time to time. Sometimes long drives too. They're tolerable on the daily - you'll feel some more roll with the tire and handling will be a bit different.
Thanks guys...I'll get a thread started next time I get get to the track, would be nice to see some of you guys there!

There's alot of rules that they and alot of tracks look the other way on. Convertibles aside, any car running under 11.49 should have a bar / cage and anything under 10.99 a certified cage. Honestly, I think with so many OEM cars running so quick these days, they look the other way. Maybe if I was running bottom 10's or a really high trap - they'd pull be aside. But so far, all they really wanted to see was if I had an SFI fire jacket (bc of the nitrous), which I did

Key thing you'll miss without a cage is sanctioned events. I raced in a series called the LSX Shootout, and tech never would have let me run 10s without one. I may race that series again if I put an LS3 in my newly acquired 91 XJS (bought it without a motor).
I was always hoping to get that 9.99 slip. Alas. Bet I could have done it at Atco!

I would think they would require those bars to be heavily padded. Making helmet contact with an exposed bar pretty much renders the helmet immediately useless.

Yep, enjoy it while it lasts. Once I put a 6-point in my Camaro, I rarely drove it on the street. It's more dangerous - big bars for an unhelmeted head to hit.

I have a PT106 here if you wanna strap it onto your LS3 in your Jag!
#20
And I am positive that if I had a PT106, I would put it to good use. I figure I would need 1000+ rwhp to do a 200mph run in the Mile with an XJS... No problema.
