New Atco Results
 

So i took my opti off today after replacing the Coil, ICM, Plugs, and Wires because it was really the only thing left to replace lol. apparently a Rotor screw came off (spinning to almost 7k is bad?) and it just made a big mess inside. so the new one went on today as well (yes Vinnie its a one day job) and i hit the track.

First Pass (Launched at 5k-5500)

60' 1.823
1/4 12.292
MPH 114.83(short shifted 1st)

Second and last pass (Launched at 6k)

60' 1.749
1/4 11.96
MPH 116.52

this is a new best for me and the car has alot more in it. Thanks Ron for all the help today getting it put back together, and Josh for dialing the suspension in :)

Very Nice, Congrats Josh! What kinda tires were you on?

27" QTPs with 3.73 gears lol not the ideal combo for a 6 speed but im hoping to go with 4.30s soon

Yeah that gear and tire combo is hurting you. With the right gears you'll be another 3+ tenths quicker but still impressive non the less!

yes, I liked JS's facebook status on your car. Was it a record breaker or just to show off how the car did?

no prob man, thats what friends are for! and i know what its like to wanna get the car up and running asap, especially when the air is good. Congrats once again. ill work on getting the video of your pass on my computer

Congrats Josh! I wish I could have been there.

new best for the car since ive owned it it went 12.65,12.5x, 12.29 then 11.96 lastnight :)

btw guys the only weight out of the car is the front sway bar, AC, and power steering. still had front and rear seats, all panels, full carpet and even some **** in the trunk i think

Congrats Josh on the new pb!

nice times!

i took my opti apart yesterday and my rotor screw was walked out quite a bit. just waiting to destroy everything hahha

I am just as pleased as you with this. :)

Hopefully get back to the track at least once this fall..

waits for the homos..........."OMG AN LT1Z CANT DO THIS"

thats more like it......congrats

omgz josh's car has boat anchor under the hoodz!

nice job! congrats

Wait, this isn't an LS1 car?


:?:










:lol: :rofl:

Wait WHAT, I have a boat anchor lt1?!?!?!? I don't believe it, I'll pop the hood when I get home and let you guys know

so what is the goal with the car in "full" weight? or are you happy with the 11.96?

Congrats again Josh!

And Vinnie, I believe he's looking for mid 11's once the correct gear is in the car (as he said above).

- Justin

yeah I'm hoping for mid 11s the way the car sits but with new gears. I'm not throwing out any other predictions after the car goes on a diet but it's gonna be fast

nice times especially full weight. get that car to 60' 1.5x a

whats all done to your engine... besides whats in your sig... impressive numbers man keep it up

btw the car has no AC, Power Steering, or Sway bar but thats it for the weight reduction. it also has full suspension and a 12bolt so im probably sitting at about factory weight right now just distributed in the back more

good stuff.
