I just got back from the track and am absolutely thrilled to report that it is indeed possible to run in the low 12's with stock gears.
As soon as I figure out whats going on with the timeslip page, (and updating my vehicle profile, which isn't working either) I'll post my timeslip and all the data.
In the meantime, I'll type it out for you all below, and I've added my timeslip to my personal Comcast website, (which isn't limited to 100k uploads... thankfully).

Here is the link to my personal site, (nevermind the football stuff... go to the bottom of page): http://home.comcast.net/~daveandpam1/players2.htm

Before I type all my timeslip data, I'd like to say that this best run was completed with race fuel and a race fuel tune. And... before the anti-race fuel members begin with comments I'd like to say that I now truly believe that the race fuel tune is a solid and cost-efficient alternative to those seeking faster ET's without going to lower gears. I know I didn't want to go to 4:10s... (at least this year)! :eek:

Having said all that, here is my timeslip data:

Reaction: 1.0350 (I had much better on other runs... )
60 ft. 1.8209
330 ft. 5.1469
594 ft. 7.3921
1/8 ET 7.8899
1/8 MPH 90.40
1000' ET 10.2610
1000' MPH 102.50
1/4 ET 12.2808
1/4 MPH 111.72

Man I love this car! People were walking up to take pictures of the car after seeing it run... it was great.
Thanks Lidio! Come to Woody's/Capers Sunday night! :)

Nice job! Add 4:10s to the race tune and you may hit 11's!

Nice run Dave. A few minor mods and 11's are within reach. Hope to see you Sunday.

Nice going Dave....


Nothing better then drag racing in the cool/cold fall weather. Some thing about going in the fall coolness is always better then the early cool spring weather. I swear my favorite time of the year to hit the drags is from Mid September till early November.

Keep in mind that Milan dragway will be open till November 12th this season. If it hooks and the temps are in the 40's, which I'm sure they will be... this will bring home some awesome ET slips on any thing, but especially the intercooled blower cars.


Congrats on the low 12's ET :)

Thanks shakes. Yeah, you're right... but I'll be putting the car in storage soon. Now I'll have all winter to debate going to 4:10 gears. It's a tough decision... I take pride in my run with the stock gears, but we'll see... :)
