Went to the track last night in north Alabbma hot and humid I have a 00 L with PSP single program chip and K&N. It ran a 8.67 @ 82.39 mph with a 1.95 60ft.

If I get a 6lb lower pulley and change the plugs (?? Which kind??)
What should the truck run with say a 1.90 60ft. In the 1/8

your trap speed might be higher but unless you have hella traction your 60' might even go down.

 

Dont expect any great numbers in this heat we have been having.

 

Six Spd Z28: Yea it's been pretty hot I was thrilled my 00L chip and k&N besides that stcok ran a 8.67 @ 82.39 yesterday in the heat. I've only had it for 2 months so I haven't had a chance to race it in the cool weather. i hope that it will pick up more when it gets cooler out.

Oh yea when I get the 6lb I 'm going to also get nitto Drag radials. I hope maybe a 8.3xx out of it in the cool weather.

If you get a good 60', you should be low 8's. 8.00-8.20. (Cold weather)

But there are LOTS of varialbes that can change that. But since it's so hot and humid, maybe a 8.4 if you're lucky. Buy some slicks man, dr's are cool, but just get u some ET streets. I raced 1/8 mile w/ em and I love em.

Roasted em for 10 sec. in drive and pulled 1.80 (highest 1.86) on a VERY slick track.

 

By comparison, in cool weather ( 45-60 degrees) I can go 7.95 in the 1/8, which nets me a 12.39 to 12.45 in the 1/4. In the heat (80-90 degres) I slow to 8.3 or so in the 1/8 which gives me a 12.65 to 12.80 in the 1/4. I run a 6 # lower and use NGK-TR6 plugs gapped at .036 to .038.

 

Thanks guys!! It sounds like heat kills these trucks I notice last night if I hot lapped the truck it would run 8.80's but then I put a bag of ice on the intake for 30min then bame 8.67.

The first time I took my L to the track I ran 8.19 with a 1.77 60ft on Nitto DRs, It was 84 degrees at night. I was told I ran 7.92 on my first pass but at that time the time slip machine wasnt working and they anounce the times on a PA speaker so I couldnt get that time slip. Recently the weather has been around 90-100 at night my best time I could run was 8.76 with a 2.20 60ft spinning the tires. I run a 5# lower and a 2.7 upper. DRs are good for the street but for the track it depends on track prep. I think that with cooler weather and some sliks I would be at around 7.6-7.8 on the 1/8.

 

This heat has been bad and the track sucks. I ran a 8.6 at 87mph 2.260ft the other day with all my mods.
