Your car should be able to hit the 11's with a really good tune I would think. Let me know and I'll forward his info to you, or actually just contact him on here, his name in Tengis.




Thanks, for the info. I have contacted him and am just trrying to work out a time to meet up. He was scheduled to come to dallas a few weeks ago but could NOT make it. I may need to go to Houston and get tuned along with some tuning lessons.

Yeah I remember him having plans to do the Dallas thing, don't remember why it didn't happen. Zack's a great guy and has a lot of talent. You won't be disappointed I'm sure. Depending on when you come down, you might even see him wrenching on my car.

I found a reference to a 370 hp fiero 4 cyl that turned a 9.72 at 134.41 at the keystone nationals on sept 15 1985 in a comparison of an 88 fiero to a 308 ferrari. Wouldn't there be a confirmation in the records of that event. If there is we're still trying to beat a record that was made 25 years ago.

Nice time man! Looks like a bit of tuning helped! The times I trapped 109-110mph I only ran in the 12.6-12.7 range. Looking at my old slips, it looks like your 60ft was about .1 faster than mine though. Nice launch! I miss cutting 1.7 60fts. I have a hard time getting a good launch with the turbo.


If all things go as planned, I'm hoping to be posting a new pb here in a few days...

The Vette did have a bad start because of a late reaction time but still....


That's why, the timers don't start until you start moving. You left before him so your timer started first. So, while you did beat him to the finish line, he traveled a 1/4 mile in less time.

Nice runs.

Nice!

Just out of curiosity, did you modify your existing engine, or build a new one?

The original 99 L67 spun a rod bearing. I got an L26 from a junkyard and used the short block. JustinBart and Darkhorizon did the wrenching, fabricating and some pretty clever 'on the fly' engineering.
