No, but that is faster than Dodgers record 10.789.

That car is moving.

mthis

How the hell do you trap in the 130's NA without N2O? I'd love to know.

Kriston

You guys are masterful drivers, 130 trap NA is amazing!

CarHopper

Ported heads, custom intake mani, and cams... Big differences there.

mr747

so sick fast cars for N/A

ENV²

Thats very damn fast for a car as heavy as these. I would just like to be in mid to low 11s

Remove 500lbs or so is how they did it. Dodger was only around 600hp or so.

mthis

Dodgers car put down 506/460 on DJ pre cams. and we ran 10.78@132+ with stock cams.
with cams 10.666@131+ with cams for some reason top end got hurt but down low it helped.
before cams 1/8 mile was 99-100mph. and trap 131-132
after cams 1/8 mile was 101-103 but trap dropped 129-131.
500# weight reduction give or take a few.

here a video of me v dodger when he had his cams

Ah the good ol days.

Another thing people don't realize is the DA these runs were made in and how much of a difference it can make.

mthis

that day we did 30 or more 10sec and 130 plus traps all in 80F plus and 700da positive.

the tricks is a Good track that does good track prep.
plus supporting mods and alot of race gas and alot of track rentals the car needs to strech it legs out at least 6-8 passes before u get the bog out of 1500-3000 rpm and to get the car to adapt to the track. let it cool down with ice for 20 -30 min go back out and times will change.

mthis

well that day we ran 10.78 it wasn't really a DA thing bc it was hot but we did have tail wind lol . now talk about da. i ran 11.19@125 full trim on 18s with nitto 555Rs in -1200da and ran dodgers car to 10.98@127 in full weight on 18s MTs .

alot come into play when racing drag racing you just have to be out there racing to get that great day or else it wont ever happen.

Merc63

Ya nothing can replace seat time at the strip and getting to know the car. I think you and dodger figured out these cars more than anyone that has come along on here.

mthis

this was that hot day.

mthis

seat time and getting out there, you never know when its going to be a good day.
we either ran mine or his non stop from 10am to 4pm mostly his car but in cool down runs we ran mine but at that time mine wasn't this modded. we did alot of changes and thanks to Craig we were able to get faster and faster everytime we went out.

BLKM3

Damn thats awesome. Did you ever figure out what that weird noise was in your YT video you posted?

mthis

Yea i took it to harry he did the following and it worked.
I had the shop do a trans service and also changed the engine n trans mounts as well as rear sub frame bolts and diff bushings ect.

now one of does fixed the issue i think it was the trans service but i had to do everything else car was drviving like crap at high speeds.

avery.whss

a custom tune, and basically every bolt on, guy knows how to drive too

gzim335

Looks like if mthis had a custom tune he wouldve went much faster than that renntech car.right?

BLKM3

Thats good they fixed it.

I was only about to get 12 @119 in my BS. I think if I were to go manual mode and no headwind I could get in the 11's next time.

avery.whss

dyno tunes always net more gains..its common knowledge because you fine tune things more. It depends on your base HP though..can go either way, can net a extra 1hp or 30..tons of factors involved, location is the main one

Merc63

Mthis needs a blower so he can smash some records.

mthis

yea with a 25k check also. i thought about the blower route but my cars a 08 i would need trans and tc and headbolts plus blower easy 25k.
i cant see my self dropping 25k in one shot on a car i do not even drive 2000 miles a year.

mthis

Definitely can get into 11s. you need time on the track at least 6-8 passes just to get the car to adapt to the track them the record runs come after cool downs. lower tire pressure and if u se M make sure u dont hit rev limiter it will kill .1 like nothing
