That's why I usually tune from the dig all the way through 3rd at WOT. but then again, I've got DOT DR's for a little grab.

I'll have 7-inch slicks for the track (Bowling Green, KY) tomorrow night, still won't be enough probably, but I hope better than the DR's....if it don't rain, I'll give it my best shot while trying to maintain some measure of safety for the drivetrain...

Haha, famous last words, probably....

[AleroB888]

It was pretty humid, 70 degrees, and I got 5 runs in at sea level....

This run used a conservative street setup and tune, except for slicks, and pushed the 28 lb injectors to their limit (108% IDC) :

9 / SEP / 2008 (Bowling Green, KY )

R/T ............... .136
60' ............... 1.926
330 ............... 5.491
1/8 ............... 8.476
MPH............... 83.84
1000.............. 11.073
1/4 ............... 13.293
MPH............... 101.89

Hoo boy, 36 lb injectors and this goes into the 12's.

Cmon you turbo guys, you're not gonna let some old man running a stock engine and a blower get this, are you?

Let's see what you got...

[silvergtjrad]

Damn, that thing is movin! I think you have it in the bag here

Nice job! I'm pretty sure you have the best time in an Alero. Now, bring it down to 12's. Will you be able to eek out more boost?

[99Alero_Boy]

nope, pretty sure he is maxed on boost with a 2.2 or 2.0 pulley right now.......

[Ajaxus]

holy fock, where did you guys come from?

btw, somebody needs to win this, I didn't put money in the pot to see this go to 2009..

[SpyhunteR]

You know what sucks? I have to run deep 11's to snag this up. Tinker as I go, tinker as I go.

I looked long and hard at grandma today. Thy will be done.

No, but I would not object to you changing the requirement for yourself and Schweppe23 to 11.XXX, because that is still a formidable task, and well deserving of the prize...

I know you were just trying to give everybody else a fair shake, and you already did...You will have much new in your setup to contend with.

I say post a notice of the change, wait a week to hear feedback, if nobody objects, go for it... let's get this thing done!

if spy or schweppe could run 11.xxx they would for sure deserve to win the pot.

[Schweppe23]

I agree but of course im biased whats the pot up to?

[Vegeta]

If we are gonna do that, your 13.2 was good enough.

I don't understand what you mean, but no way does that deserve the pot. Besides, I think it has a little more left in it. Thinking about Topeka, Kansas, next month (Heartland), if there is a class to run it in.....

No, but hopefully I'll have an 11 sec slip to hand you when I get back from Iraq

I'm out of the running for the prize money for good this time around. I leave in late October, and I'm not leaving the wife stuck with a non-running car to deal with for a year if anything goes wrong. Sorry bro, I wanted to be the one to put the N-body on the 11 sec map before now.

[Vegeta]

If 11.99 is ok when 11.5 was the goal, then 13.2 is ok for 12.99. I agree, its not but neither would changing the rules at this point.

[SpyhunteR]

12.9 for the rest 11.50000000000000000000000000 for those who already squeaked 12's.

k?

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd ?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do & die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
