Nate joins the 1.6 60' club. Still not there yet, but I'M TRYING!!!
Great runs.
Little curious if you were a bit disappointed with your numbers Nate. Meaning you have just about every mod but the kitchen sink on your car and only ran 11.5. Maybe temps and DA hurt ya bit I guess.
At MIR, that woulda been a pretty close to 11 flat run.

I was going to say the same. If you click on the da calculator the corrected time for Extensively Modified Supercharged and Turbocharged Engines
11.398 @ 120.012 MPH. Still very strong for boost only. I would have hoped to see a higher trap. Maybe that just me..

Yes, thats me 
I just got to post them up last night. I only got 1 run that night. I had to focus on the Viper and the track was packed with 336 cars. And to answer everyone's question.....YES I am a little disappointed with the times. I figured 11.20's or .30's at least. Corrected DA for the night was about +1,700ft with air temp around 50*. I have tried contacting Victor several times with no luck. Best I can guess is there is something way off on my tune from PC. I need to get to a dyno sometime and get some logs to see what is really going on too. BTW, that 60ft. time was spinning still!!!! The track was cold and really slick that night. I think its possible to get in the 1.5's with my setup. I think there is 5 mph easy missing from my car. my 1/8 is even down really bad. If anyone has any ideas what to check or try I am open ears, or maybe MIR will prove its air quality??? The Viper earlier this year when we took it to Atco picked up .3 tenths and 5 mph from Bristol's times to there, nothing else changed so I guess it is possible

I would check the tune for sure. When i clicked the link, after reading your mods i was going to say an 11.2 .. so .3 off
getting off subject a tiny bit - an e55 with a tune, asp pulley, k&ns, CJ pump, and H/E - what kinda whp/torque and 1/4 mile times are average?

Here is a video I found with my e55 run on it. It is the 2nd run on the vid and starts at about the 25 sec. mark. Car seems to fall on its face when it shifts into 3rd and it feels that way too by the sotp's. Anyone got any ideas after watching this? Victor, where are you? Does anyone have any secrets of getting ahold of him?

i would have to disagree. on street nights Atco is usually poorly prepped. i live less than an hour from both Atco and Englishtown and along with a lot of other locals prefer Englishtown over Atco.
1. englishtown always well prepped
2. well lit
3. more room to stop
4. you can go around the wet box (where at Atco you can't)
either way both are at sea level so they will be faster when comparing to track with high elevation

Englishtown is a much nicer facility then atco. Cant speak of conditions on a normal test and tune night, but I have ran at atco and saw first hand how much vht is sprayed on that track. (beginning to end) It is a very fast track, about 2-3 tenths quicker then what we get down here in the west.
