G8 update!!!!!
1st track outing since CAM ONLY BRO swap!!!!
I borrowed a set of 26" ET Street drag radials from Rick Crawford for this outing.
I drove the car to the Fayetteville Motorsports track from Fastlane when I got outta work today and let it cool for about 45 mins.
I decided to make a quick shake-down pass to see how the car responded to the tire change.
Normal burnout to generate a little smoke.
Staged car, brought it up to 1800rpms, and launched.
Car left good, but squealed the tires a little on the 2nd and 3rd gear change.
Went 11.61 @ 119mph!
The cam swap, head work, and Rick's tuning managed to pick my car up 7 tenths from my previous best (on street tires) of 12.30's!
About 1 hour later I ran the car one more time to try and duplicate or best my previous pass.
This time I did a little longer burnout and staged the car.
1800rpm launch but this time I punched it harder outta the gate.
Car wiggled a little on the 2nd and 3rd gear swaps, but I stayed in it and crossed the stripe.
I was stoked to see the car ran a 11.57 @ 120mph!!
This G8 continues to amaze me! Basically a bolt on car running all MOTA going consistent mid 11's.
I cannot say enough good things about Rick Crawford Racing and all the advice he gave me to get the car to this level!
