Famoso Last Night--Horrible Conditions but Managed To Get In the 11s

Mr. 5 · 04-02-2011, 02:47 PM

So, the private event that was supposed to take place in early February but it got postponed 4 times because of rain. Then, the day it doesn't rain, it's the hottest day of the year.

When we first started the runs, the DA was 2400.
It was hot, humid, and the pressure was even lower than normal
To put it plainly, it just sucked!
I really wanted to break my 11.80 time but there was just no way with these conditions.

I managed to get a good run though and got an 11.90 at 117.5 MPH
The funny thing is that this is my best trap at Famoso so I can only imagine how much better it could have been.
Oh well, it was still fun.

There were other 335s there as well and Terry was there with his N55 135.
He managed to get into the 12s! that's not too shabby for just the tune.

Still not bad for those conditions

Were u spraying meth? I'm guessing your fully bolted w/meth?

thwgw24 · 04-02-2011, 03:28 PM

were you running street tires?

Brey335i · 04-02-2011, 03:34 PM

What tires? Street setup?

Mr. 5 · 04-02-2011, 03:40 PM

I'm running Hoosiers and I was running everything.
My mods are listed somehwere around here, I'm just sick of posting them because the list is too long lol.

There's no way anyone could get a 1.68 60' running street tires.

blisstik · 04-02-2011, 03:44 PM

I take you were running stage 2+. Do you think you can get into 11s with just stage 2 no meth?

Litos · 04-02-2011, 03:47 PM

was that launch control !?!?

good run

momstmg78 · 04-02-2011, 03:59 PM

I seen were they took a stock 2012 boss 302 mustang put slicks on it = 11.8s quarter. not bad for stock mustang

I don't think so.
If running the highest octane and really good conditions then maybe.

wow i am 15mins away, i wish i could of made it... Is the event still going on today too?

Sniz · 04-02-2011, 04:22 PM

well done!!!

you sure can launch that thing, 1.6x 60 ft in a manual is no easy task.

dzenno · 04-02-2011, 05:01 PM

Nice!

forza1976 · 04-02-2011, 05:34 PM

ah poor baby... DA of 2400

hahaha... Try 8600 here

Just kidding nice times Mr 5

MKE_M3 · 04-02-2011, 06:26 PM

nice run. I dig the BMW Perf Steering Wheel, probably pretty nice for drag racing!?!?

only1 · 04-02-2011, 06:37 PM

Nice time. What size Hoosiers are you running? I'm looking to get a pair. Where do you buy them?

Forcefed3 · 04-02-2011, 06:46 PM

Nice run! What kind of car was in the left lane?

Thanks. I just wish that the LED lights were brighter so I can see them better in the day time.

It was a Supercharged Chrysler 300.
That thing was fricken fast man! I thought I was going to win the drag race and then he flew past me right before the 1/4.

99three · 04-02-2011, 07:51 PM

Great run!

hotrod182 · 04-02-2011, 07:57 PM

Craig, did you happen to see what the Blue E90 M3 ended up getting on his best run? He showed me his time slip of 14.x at 106.x mph...just to show you how tough things were out there. Also, was that heads/cam Corvette a regular LS3, not a Z06? There was that fancy looking newer Mustang with all the racing stickers, I think he ran 12's.

The guy with the blue M3 was having issues with his shifting and launching.
You're right though, I saw him go down the track and then I saw the time of 14.4. ouch!

I don't know about the mustang, but the guy with the LS3 corvette next to us kicked ass!!
I think his best time was 11.5 and he had a manual trans!

Those headers and cams must work wonders.
