When I was out at Immokalee DW.... Your times compared to a stock CTS-V Coupe!!! That's damn good!!!!!! I was running 8.32 with my 08' G8 that is tuned and has Kook's and full exhaust plus ported intake, underdrive pulley etc.

Congrats there shoman04. Pretty impressive run.

Be forewarned Txstrmhntr.... I've got the dibs on the entire supply of Methanol here in the Midwest.

It's ssssoooooooo much fun being addicted to Meth!

He does!!!! He does!!!

However, you can buy Methanol at Cedar Falls Raceway (when they open up in the spring) for around $3.00 a gallon. That's what I paid a month ago. One has to bring their own jug. I have my 3 gal. in my "Boost Juice" jugs!!!!!

Would guess Cordova Raceway (which runs CF Raceway) likely has it for the same price.

Haha, Well I reckon I'll be able to find plenty Meth in Texas

oh and yesterday I set another personal best on the 1/8th. I'm aiming to get 7.90's with tune only

DA was 900

DJE624 · November 04, 2013, 12:39:15 PM

Nice run! Good luck for a 7!

steve142857 · November 04, 2013, 12:57:16 PM

8.11 with only a tune is very impressive. That translate to a 12.66 on the 1/4 mile. A 7.9's 1/8 mile equals 12.4's on the 1/4 mile.
Maybe with the XV1, who knows?
Those 2013 with PP surely launch fast!
Good job! And good luck!

I was out a Kennedale a couple of weekends ago and could only muster up 4 8.26's, DA was around 1200 for pretty much all day. My best 60' is a 1.84, how are launching?

They had just reprepped the track.
I did the best burnout the car could muster
Pulled up to the prestage lights
Brake boosted til it was creeping past the brakes, crept into the stage lights just flickering on
Held the RPM around 2400-2500 (still very very slightly breaking past the brakes holding power)
and it seemed to hook up better with the harder launch about half way down i had the feeling it was going to be the best run id ever had.

Edit: tire pressure on the fronts was lowered to 29psi

I know you guys are running times at the track, but I used my iPad for this. So question is how accurate are the obd2 sensors? I used the elm327. The 1/4 mile slacked as I ran out of real estate, but depending on accuracy this bone stock SHO does pretty good! At least in my opinion. I should be able to have my baseline dyno done Thursday, install tune, CAI t-stat, and plugs and another dyno run to see improvements!

DJE624 · December 16, 2013, 09:04:47 AM

That looks very close to the real thing for a stock SHO as far as time and speed go.

I looked at some of the posted times and yes very close. So I know time relly matters in racing but, all the money being spent on mods and only 1 second faster and unicameral than stock? Unless racing on track, but street drags does 1 second count? Couldn't that be made up in reaction time alone? Just asking. Not trynna offend anyone.

DJE624 · December 16, 2013, 10:23:42 AM

I would say a second does count. But, that said, I am happy with a tune, intake and springs. All that can be had for under $1500. And that's about 3/4 of a second.
