Pictures & videos of my day racing at Cecil
 

Went to Cecil on the 14th as most of you know & things I learned.

My bone stock 159K mile LT1 is severely under powered as it couldn't even cut me 2.0's on the Nitto's I borrowed from Pizza, thanks again.

The car was bogging, not spinning off the line & when it shifted I could tell by the shift it just doesn't make enough power with good traction.

I tried the brake to gas launch like Don told me back in June at Camaro/Firebird day, brake & gas holding at 1K, 1200, 1500 & 1800 RPM & still never got my 60’s below 2.0 ’s, with a 14.2 ET @ 97 MPH.
At least I was consistent.

Pic #3 is my favorite launch & it seems the car launched & hooked fairly well.
Here's some videos I took with my 3GS iphone mounted up high in the driver side windsheild.
Here's me losing to 2 of my pals with 10 second FWD Omni's.
Yes, you read right, 10 second FWD 2.2 L Omni's.



Here 2 of me from different views with the black Omni:


Here's one of me losing to a 10 second newer Mustang:


Yes, I lost in every video I posted, but I had fun racing & hanging with my pals.
And here's the biggest loss of the day.
Instead of telling, just watch it & see how fast the LS1 Trans Am went:


Time to add a few more ponies to it I guess.

Time to add a man pedal :)

time to take those FUCKIN CHROME WHEELS OFF THE CAR!!! bet that would have been good for a tenth maybe more, those heavy ass things!! hahaha Lookin good other wise. get an exhaust get rid of that stock air box and tube. a tune and run high 13's!

Nice runs! As long as you had fun!

x2!!

looks like u were hooking!!

nice!!!!

Yeah maybe too much, if you go again try raising the air pressure in the Nitto's a few pounds, ideally you want to spin just a little bit off the line because dead-hooking will tear stuff up pretty quick and it really bogs the motor down in lower powered cars, probably cost you up to a half second and up to 5MPH.

Awesome pics!

Look at all those damn mustangs.....jesus

by the way it looks like you where hooking looks like it was at least launching ok I hope that mine will hook that well with the power i have when get around to putting a set of new tires on mine

you mean to tell me you spent all that time under the car preparing or just paint and didnt take the time to at least add an intake and exhaust...?

time to spend more $$ (xmas is coming)

The Mustang club rented tehtrack, 185 spots, 153 showed up.My intent was not to build it.

nice!

My car does about the same thing. Dead hooks on Nitto drags but best 60' times are 2.0s. A cold air intake helps a ton, I would get one, it's not like your cutting up the car or putting in a cam or something. All my car has for mods is the CAI and a Magnaflow on the stock I pipe and it has gone 13.7-13.8 at 99-100. I would do a catback just because it will make the car so much more fun to drive.

Im With Alex!!! do little stuff to wake it up. non invasive stuff and call it a day.

Nice dude, I love the 10sec Omni GLH-T lmao

Those things can be pretty wicked....
