Finally Hit 12s with the Vortech

[Hickrocket1258]

Previous best time was 13.33. The main thing I changed was was a Dayco tensioner. Obviously the weather helped which I knew what be the main thing to help me get into 12s.

Car is still full weight auto with Vortech V1 with spare and even an added 20 pounds or so with what I took with me to the track. I'm about 215 pound. Only other bolt on is a cat back.

60' - 1.980
330' - 5.514
660' - 8.378
MPH - 86.83
1000 - 10.83
1320 - 12.95
MPH - 106

The car is only hitting the traps at 4600 rpms where the boost is only about 6lbs or so when crossing the line. I think it's hurting with the 3.27s taking to long to get through the gears but I could be wrong.

Other runs were 12.96, 12.96, 13.01.

Parts that I have sitting around to get installed eventually are gears, intercooler, anderson power pipe and valve body.

putting those gears in there will make a world of a difference. i wouldn't doubt you'll be easily in the mid 12s.

You should also be able to shave at least .2 off that 60ft time.

You done the J-Mod on it yet? Bet that will make the world of difference too.

I would think mid 12s as well with good weather. I'd be happy with 12.60s if it can hit that. Then converter afterwards.

Have not done jmod. Have a TCI valve body I'm looking to put in.

Did it to a Lincoln Mark VIII I had a couple years ago and WOW what a difference in the shifts. It would bang second like it was a standard trans car. It was fun. lol
