Another Run Totally stock even the tire psi [vid] -I'll keep trying-
I can't seem to break into the 11s . By the time the track warms up in the afternoon; my traction gets better but I have to leave.
I got 4 runs in this day before my girlfriend complained that she was cold. Last run I got a 12.1 @ 116mph it hooked good off the line. I probably could of got a little more out of it if I launched harder. You can see me roll out slow for first half a second. Maybe if I let air out the tires I could get a little more traction off the line too. this video shows my last run 12.1 and my 2nd to last 12.2

Be sure to have you IATs below 86* before launch or timing will be pulled. It's hard to keep them below 86* even in cooler air. Best to keep hood open as long as you can in the staging lanes. I can show you a log where mine got to upper 90s in 50* air.

but I run my car back to back. no cool down LoL. Both times I went to the track I had limited time to get my launch down before I had to leave. I dont know why it would pull timing at such low IATs. My mph on every run stay about the same 116mph so I know it not losing power run to run. Im a little easy on 2-3 shift since I have missed it. I am going to move seat up a little bit and really let her have it..

If you do any mods to your car you would be wise to invest in an HP Tuner or some way to monitor what is going on with your engine and tranny. Good running by the way with just a stock C7. Those cars are awesome and ready for modding! |

Here's the C7 IAT table. I've seen my IAT in the 130s on a warm day in traffic.

So at the end of a long full throttle pulls might see couple degrees pulled. I am sure on runs to 130mph the engine bay gets hot heating up the Intake Air. Thanks for the table that was awesome!

In the staging lanes is somewhat like traffic. When I had my 08 I had a hard time keeping the IAT down in the staging lanes even in cool weather. Found that opening the hood and allowing the engine to idle helped. Along with running my fan manually with VCM controls in my HP Tuner. Incidentally I've ran my best times with my engine temp around 180*. Some say higher gives best but not my results. |

I dont have much N/A experience .. I think I might take the drive friday to the track everyone says is better. Where the guy ran the 11.6 and someone else 11.9, Atco raceway. It is 2 hours 40mins from me. Ill try and wait to start running till enough people went to warm the track up. All my other track runs been in first hour or 2 since I did not have much time. There were very few cars running too so track wasnt warming good. Hoping for 11sec Pass
