Nothing special just uploaded it anyway.

Yes I know I fixed my rear top brake light after seeing this after I made the video awhile ago.

I was testing out my line lock works great

Yeah if the car doesnt launch well high 13s

I still need to tweak the suspension alittle more, maybe try some more air in the air bag on the right side.

I am hoping for a 1.6X 60 foot at around 13.2 at 101 mph

ahh, so she is bagged

Nice man, the car has a pretty nasty stance from
looking at the rear.. Looks intimidating.

I believe all you need to get a L98 car good times
is a suspension investment.. that should put you in
contention for mid-high 13's.

That's crazy you can flirt with 12 second mark
with a stock L98, makes me want to get out
and start playing!

Re: Found a video of one of my 13.4XX runs.

i would need more stall and/or abit more gear to touch 1.6's. 1.74 is all she'll do. i think i have 1.73's in it but it have to be in good weather. the car looks/feels somewhat lazy off the line even tho i'm goin 1.74. i think it realllly needs 3200 stall or so. Just feels like its not pulling as hard as it can the instant i mash the gas off the line until it gets to 3500 rpms or so. for next year i'm gonna get mine restalled to 3200 or 3400 depending and possible go for 3.73s

Re: Found a video of one of my 13.4XX runs.

my stall flashes around 2800-300 so I am happy. thats about where the tq and hp start to get going so its bing enough IMO. I want to be able to punch the gas wot and DEAD HOOK. If I did anything I would do gears and leave the stall alone IMO. I would hate to pull my stall get it reflashed from edge and have a problem or something stupid happen. I am leaving that tranny area alone for quite awhile since its been working great for nearly 10k miles

my best 60 foot is 1.719.

I think I need to invest in some lighter racing rims with some even better drag radials. I think I could hit 12.999 if I get a 60 foot under 1.7 and hopefully when I get around to tuning I will see 101 mph again since I dont know how long my injectors really werent working %100.

I remember when I was struggling to get into the 13s with a 2.0 60 foot.

I have come really far now with just better tires and trans that shifts right with a stall.

Re: Found a video of one of my 13.4XX runs.

well its hard to say how much of a gain i have experienced with my lighter wheels/tires. i got lighter slicks on prostar wheels and skinnies up front now and shaved off about 75lbs. i've been 13.24 in cooler weather at 101.4. I've gone 13.28 at 100.6 so far in hotter air so i think i've gained a tenth or so. i was expecting a good gain, abit better than what i got so far
