Drag Racing Results - New PB: Cam only m6!!! (11.23@121)

Took the car to Byron today to make a couple passes in some good air and the car ran great. Pulled it off the trailer and I imediately ran an 11.45 which beat my old PB of 11.64. Then I started adjusting tire psi and the 2-step and by the end of the day I left with new PB of 11.23@121 with a 1.56 60'. :D Here are my 4 best E.T.s of the day and a few action shots too.

damn thats some impressive MPH for cam only. Whats your race weight?

he's not sure about raceweight yet...scales were broke....

videos uploading right now

heres the 11.25 run...11.23 is MIA lol

Like I said before nice... Time to update that sig and thanks for the new screen saver :D

Looks good. You have a 2 step or is that off limiter.

You didn't happen to be at Byron last sunday, the 25th i think?

I have a Lingenfelter LNC-002 2-step and it was set at 6600rpms. No, I couldn't make it out last Sun.

Thanks, I haven't got a chance to scale the car yet. Byron's scale was broke so I guess it will have to wait. The car isn't super light. Just the normal racer's wieght reduction so far. No cutting, I've just pulled out everything I don't need (A/C, bumper supports, pass. and rear seats, cruise/traction control, abs....)

congrats man good photo, i see it leaning a hair, might wanna ditch that stock sway bar if you throw some more power at it...big congrats...

the DA was around 400ft for your best run...i just checked it for rob :)

wow nice runs! sounds good, any mufflars? How much power are you making.

Thanks, guys the car was working really well yesterday. I'm going to do a little more weight reduction over the winter, get a rear drag bar, and shoot for 10s next year. Hopefully I'll be in the club by this time next year.

wow nice runs! sounds good, any mufflars? How much power are you making.

4" Mufflex system with the muffler removed. The car made 402rwhp and 375rwtq with 17x11 ZR1s w/315s, an LS7 clutch, tru trac w/3.89s, and a Magnaflow cb. The car now has Billet Streetlites, a Mcleod RST twindisk, and a spool w/4.30s. So I'm assuming it's making a little more power. Maybe around 410-415rwhp???

Btw Studderin, what's the highest you launch your car at? I started the 2-step at 6000 yesterday and worked my way up to 6700. My tire psi was at 10-10.5, front shocks were at 0 EXT/5 COMP, rears were at 5 all day long, and it was dead hooking everytime. Should I have added more air in the tires til I got them to spin a couple revolutions or kept bumping the 2-step up?

Thats one bad ride there buddy. Are those streetlites?? :drool: and that 2 step is bad ass im jealous :(

Thanks, yes I'm running Billet Streetlites 15x4s and LS1 specific 15x10s. The 2-step is one of the best mods I've ever done. The car is much more consistant now.

So 4inch over the axle? pull that shit off and put like 18inch of tubing off the headers. I had a 4inch mufflex I could have gotten for cheap, the thing weight like 80#s :eek2: Notice any change over the MF,I dont think thats a bad catback at all? what muffler did you have on the mufflex, Some guys said they make one that cost a bunch of power?

How do you like the spool over the TT, why did you change it out?
how do you like that clutch? its a single disk right? what material is it?

I only changed the 2step for my DR, I know whats going on with them (can feel it spinning). But all year with the slicks had it set at 6500 and raced all day. Just to keep it over the shiftlight 6500 so it shifted alot better banging the 2step quick, (it shifts better). It was weird I set it to 6400 once for a day with the shiftlight at 6500, at it would fireball/backfire loud (more then normal). Just somthing about how it worked at 6400 over 6500, maybe turned off a few more coils? I moved them both up 200 once and 60/330 got better but lost .5 mph. lowerd the shiftlight to 6300 and went back up (but it didn't fall into gear like I like) For the 10.6s I turned the 2step up to 6800 it short times better always with more rpm, but thats all the motor I have really lol. And you can hear it in the vids, I can't shift as fast with the 2step now engauging going down the track, set way move the the shiftlight.
what did your the do as you rasied the 2step?



tires was at 12.5 but JL w-s6 said I should go up 1 psi?
rear shocks are the cheap summits set in the middle 50/50, front stange singles (R) set at 3

you notice your car gose faster not looking at the 60 numbers, and just useing the 330+ numbers? my car dose???

DTB_LS1 Nice times bro. And yes it is time for a drag bar haha. I wish i went to byron Saturday like you and not today. I made 9 passes but the air was good then it went away. And 4 passes were 10.xx passes with A 1.46 60 and 1.47 60's My mph was down to 125 all day but the air was junk. + 700 and up i think i need to check. And great job that car is moving out for sure.

I have the Spintech muffler but I only run it on the street. I definately need to get a exhaust setup that I can swap out for the track. I love my spool, I swapped out my tru crap cuz I gernaded it the second trip to the track.

As for my shiftlight, its set at 6700 and I never move it. I did notice that when I set the 2-step at 6700 it backfired a little. You can hear in my 11.25 vid. I think I've got my launch/shift rpms right, now I just need to work on the shocks and tire psi.

Were did jim set your limiter at for the ecm???

Thanks Rob, will have to get together at Byron next year for sure. I believe my limiter is set at 7000.

Then shift that thing at 6900 i was shifting at 6900 today and i was running 101.19 in the 1/8th at a 6.99 not bad for a stick car lol. And yea forsure next year will be fun.

congrats Darren

I'm glad with some seat time the car is really starting to show it's real potential.

Big thanks to you Larry and the rest of the guys at Speed Inc. None of this would be possible without you guys. I'll be in touch over the winter to pick up a drag bar. Besides a drag bar the only other mods over the winter will be a more weight reduction and possibly rework my exhaust setup. I might have you guys strap her to the dyno again to freshen up the tune and see if she's gained any power with the lighter drivetrain mods. I'm going to try take this SI5 into the 10s next year!!! :D

What size tire were you running? Those are some great times for your power. My clutch locked up on me that day. Never made a clean pass. I am very dissapointed. It was my first time out with the 2-step. Only made one whole shot with it and the clutch would not dissengage for the 1-2 shift. Then it locked up on the next burnout for good.

Thanks, I'm running 28x10.5-15 stiffwalled ET Drags. I didn't see you at Byron, what time were you there?

I got there about 10 and was done by 12:30.

Silver Z on prostars????? thats cuz he was there Sunday with us i think ?????

Rob

That was me. I was there Sun. Well at least till 1. Then just the car till 4. lol.

Yea i saw your car run looks like you have a nasty bog to work out. Did you see mine make a pass????

I did not see any cars run. Only from the staging lanes did I see a couple cars. I wanted to see your car run. There were quite a few cars there that could get down. I need to race more often so I can stay in rythm. But this time it was more of a mechanical issue.

Yeah, it bogged because I was just learning to use the 2-step and needed more time to kick up the rpms. I launched at 6k at the highest and managed a 1.59 60'. Then it would not let me shift into 2nd. But I am confident I could have seen 1.4X 60s with more RPMs.

all you do is mat the gas on the 2nd yellow to the floor with the gas pedal lol. You should come to RSD this friday night to me make some passes

One day I hope to actually participate in RSD. I just need a full day of clean racing...which is what I was hoping for yesterday.

I did that, but it was set at 6k and must not have been enough cause it bogged to 2800rpm.

No just come to watch its a good time. and i will show you my setup and how it get's down lol. :devil:

what kind of ram air do you have on that car...

what kind of ram air do you have on that car...

I dont think he has one yet :cheers:this would be a good test car chris lol

what kind of ram air do you have on that car...

Right now I just have an SLP lid with the filter removed and their steel scoop that sits in front of the radiator. I don't think it flows all that well. Why do you ask?

cuz when i added his ram air to my car i picked up 1.5 mph in the 1/4 :angel: and you may aswell with your setup.

Thats a great pass. Congrats

Congrats on the NB your car is getting down. I made a couple runs at Byron on the 25th and the car was twisting so bad I called it quits after a couple passes. Results were 11.193 @119 1.48 sixty
11.103 @119 1.46 sixty
UMI bar has been ordered.

Nice pass man. I can't wait to throw a cam in this thing.

What rockers and lifters are you guys running?

thanks for the props Darren and we do appreciate your business

I do like the idea of a cam only Si5 :)

good air

more and more track time

The car will get the job done.

I am with Larry I see no reason for this car to not go into the 10.xx range :angel:and it will be Done haha I am game for this :cheers:

Well that's good to hear. So would it still be considered "cam only" with them? I just planned on doing it all at the same time but I might just change plans. So I guess you guys just swapped springs, pushrods, timing chain, and oil pump?

yeah but if i was you do the rockers as well

Cool well I'll just stick with my original plan then.

Next time your out, try lower shifts. Set the shiftlight at 6500, and a 6400.. everyone told me to go more, but it gose the feaster there.

Nice runs. I've been considering this cam for my car.

Here check out this thread I made a while back on the ram air system…most people over look this mod and it is one of the best bangs for the buck…

I gained 2.5mph or 25rwhp with this over a stock setup…

Thanks, the SI5 is an excellent cam. It makes great power and is very very streetable.

awesome Darren glad to see it coming around for you :thumb:

Thanks Tom, and thanks for being my "Phone-a-friend" pit crew. :D

damn that thing is reallly moving out, glad to see all these cam only setup's going in or near the 10's. I'm shooting for that goal next season after i get myself a spooled 9"
