12.3 @ 112 Naturally Aspirated 3.5 95 auto
Great weekend for rain. Both the sat and sun events got rained out but I did manage to get a few runs in before the rain started. I did another tuning session this week and tried a few tweaks which seem to have worked. Dropped my best et by .14 and mph increased almost 2 mph. Best time is now 12.346 @ 112.99 mph.
Haven't had much of a chance lately to do much tweaking but I did manage to find some time last week and also installed a new set of slicks as well. There may be a bit more there, I am going to put some more time into it in the fall when the racing is done. Planning on hitting it up with at least a 200 shot as well. Its probably time for a fresh engine after 2 years of hard racing on this one, so I will probably do that in the spring. The auto trans is still working great so it will stay unless the nitrous takes it out.

I don't have any video of this run but I will definitely have some when I run the 200 shot. Plus I will run my lightweight tires, remove rear seats, lightweight battery and have a crap before the run etc.
Every time I race this car love the VQ more, its unbelievable in performance and consistency. Last weekend I ran 4 consecutive runs within 4/1000's, but that is due mainly to the UTEC.

jime very impressive!! 
i was looking through some of your old threads....but i was wondering are there aftermarket cams in this motor or do you have a link i can see what you've done with mods and such?? you should be making pretty darn close to 300 whp right? have you ever dynoed it?

You guys still get 94 up there? You suck 
Our Sunocos here got rid of it so we're back to only having 93.
While your statement is true, you're not being very realistic. Yes, the faster you go the harder it is to go even faster but this is a 200 (WHP, not BHP) increase we're talking about here, with typically an equal bump in torque. That is nothing to scoff at. It's a 200 shot, not a 50 shot. He's also not exactly shooting for single digit times.

believe me a 200shot will knock off more than a 5-6tenths, I know it gets harder the faster you are but like stated above this is a 200shot and jime. I am basing this off something I read online or heard thru the grapewine, I have a 12sec truck with a 150shot
