New best at Beech Bend KY

[Purple97GT]

It's nothing to get all excited about since I only shaved 0.02 off my last best from June at Beech bend. The run that would have been the best in the cool 5pm air resulted is spinning out of the hole, but still ran a 13.6 at 103.34 on that pass. I even lost my belt at the top of the track on that pass and lost some brake and steering. lol Nothing like stopping from 103mph with no power assist.

But here is the best.

Temp was 61F with 57% humidity on this run. In comparison, my 13.58 was in 90F+ humid June air, so I think my results should have been beter yesterday.

Nice run ;D

Congrats on the new best!

I was supposed to have been up there yesterday, but I got a damn good deal on a intake mani and figured it was a better thing to do than blow $200 in gas to go up there and back. If you seen some black F-Bodies, a Redfire 03/04 Cobra, an orange GTO, or any other cars with VA/TN tags, that was a bunch of my buddies, lol

this is why I need a pi swap...

those heads/ cams would probably make a hell of a differance on my car since I have all the bolt ons

Just so you know, I don't have a PI head swap. I have a full PI motor swap from a 2004 Ford Explorer. It's whatever stock comp is on PI motors (think 9.6:1). I used the Explorer motor because it had an aluminum block instead of iron.

As you can see, I had to change some things to make it work.

Besides this motor swap, my mods are:

BBK shorty headers
Mac Prochamber
Mac Catback
BBK CAI
Pro-flow Maf
BBK 75mm TB (still have stock plenum though)
FRPP aluminum DS
FRPP 3:73 gears

and then the 4r70w to tr3550 5speed swap... no real gain there over a stock 5 speed car.
