Today I put down my very first 12 second pass. I ran a 12.75@ 106.55 on my first pass and backed it up with a total of 8 12.7's with a best of 12.717 @ 107.08. This had to be by far the most fun I've ever had at the track, even though I was the only person that I knew there. Hallsville will be closed this coming weekend and back open on the weekend of the 3rd-4th. I am planning on going back and would love it if some of you could join me.

Congrats on your new bests! I'll be down there when the motor is done and the cage is in! :D on 28" slicks shooting for some LOW 11s. It may be the end of Jan before I get it all done though! :)

Adam,

What all do you have done to your '03?

Frank02L,

Searcy, AR.? You know of Stan/Ruslow? He's in your "neck of the woods"/Rogers.

Good job! :burnout:

[QUOTE=my2002lightning]Adam,

What all do you have done to your '03?

Chip, filter , 4lber, tb, electric fan/water pump, line valve mod, traction bars, and slicks. All courtesy of PR, much props Terry :bows I figure I'll be 12.4-12.5's once I get a torque converter.

(afterthought) Most importantly I learned how to launch.

Thanks for the replies. I was dead set on 12's before the year was out. Turns out that I got it on the last racing weekend of the year but it still counts.

Since we both have the same mods and same year, (even the same color), I would be interested to see what some high flow cats ($350 installed at PR) would do ET'wise. I know not much would show on the dyno but it couldn't help but make it faster on the "big end" of the track because you would be breathing alittle better. That would also open the door to a 6#'er also. Hmmm......... Cool air, high flow cats, slicks, 6#'er,= 12 flat??? I know you could pull it off especially if you got Terry to get you a flip chip for a race tune so you could dump some good gas in it . :tu: :tu: :tu:

I don't know that I would look for high flow cats to give me a better E.T. if they are all that's done. It may sound cooler doing the pass though.

Where I noticed better breathing was when the boost was upped to 15lbs and the entire exhaust was done...headers and all. With a 4 lb pulley, the stock set up is still plenty enough flow....IMHO.

I agree completely with Rocks. I've had about every exhaust combination you can have(on the dyno AND at the track). With a 4lb lower, a hi-flow cat-pipe MAY help a LITTLE, but I never saw any real gains(other than noise level). With a 6lb lower, it would probably be a little more noticeable(in terms of gains), but I wouldn't expect more than a couple tenths(which is actually A LOT). Remember...the faster you get, the smaller the incremental gains will be from one mod(bolt-on) to the next(with the exception of KB or N2O).

Bottom line: it takes about 450rwhp to run a 12.0H in a 4800lb truck in GOOD air, which with the Eaton(stock) requires about 15psig with a well selected combination of mods. That's where bad Terry comes in....:beer:

Well, he's almost as far from here as it is to Texas (actually I can get to Texas quicker) but yeah I know Stan. GREAT GUY!

Yep, Stan's alright! I was asking him what all he's done to his L since hanging out / R&D at Hallet - one of the things he showed me was his rotors. He reached down and rattled one back-and-forth. He makes them to heat-up/expand under heavy use! :nana2

I took this one riding shotgun at Hallet.:nana2
