On that specific day (November 2009), yes my car was trapping very high at Sacramento... even in the hands of 4 different drivers, traps were fairly consistent. I don't know what it is.... it must be the air quality or something. Famoso is only 590 ft higher in physical elevation than Sacramento

Ok Mo which is it? 118.899 or 118.988? Back on post 19 you said 118.899 and now you are saying 118.988? My math was based on what you posted.

Skratch, any chance you would take the ride down to E-town one Wednesday night? Now that the weather is getting more favorable, I would like to get a few guys together for a t&t.
Same goes out to Malaka, Juice, or anyone else from L.I.

Hey Mo, what’s happening buddy! Sacramento is a very fast track with some inaccuracies in the trap department. I proved this last year with Mikesamg’s car at Famoso. My best run at Sac in his car was 11.40x @ 124.9 (somewhere around there) and 11.373 @ 123.9 at Famoso. Famoso was about 1000’ over Sac in the DA but since I used skinnies on Mike’s car we called it a wash. My assessment of both tracks, Famoso is a quicker track due to traction and lower humidity and Sacramento is faster due to inaccuracies in the traps… plain and simple. All though I will say Sacramento was the fastest I’ve seen it on that glorious day and I hope we see another day like it.

Does this make our runs any less valid at Sac, of course not. Sacramento is a sanctioned track and if it’s good enough for NHRA it should be good enough for the boards, if not who really cares anyways. I know my car doesn’t trap 136 mph, I’m sure we all know that…no biggie. I just don’t go around listing my trap speeds in posts because I know it’s not accurate, that’s all.

Skratch, even though we had some differences in the past I truly respect you’re getting it done at the track. There’s no doubt with your perseverance in you will achieve all your goals. Some like to paper race, others like to speculate and criticize, and some just do it. Getting into mid 11’s could easily be done on street tires, no problem. I’ve gone 11.5 with VRP shorty headers, 80mm TB, 175 pulley, box tune by PC, and Toyo T1R’s. I’m sure you’ll accomplish the same if not better. Once again good luck!

It is actually 118.988.... the first one was a typo, ma bad For some reason, I always think of it as 118.998 but it is not.... it is 118.988. You kinda confused me a bit with this following post because I thought you meant 118.99 which is what I wanted it to be

I hear you Alan, and I know exactly what you mean.... that's why I was saying/implying that I still trapped high despite people questioning (and sometimes even crying about) the whole Sacramento trap speed issue. In fact, that's why I never posted my highest trap speed on dragtimes. I only posted the ones you and Amer got in my car. I know many people take the whole "inaccuracy" thing too far, but I really don't care. I've taken my car to 5 different tracks and I know how it does in bad, medium, and good weather. Anyways, I still enjoy going out to different track events and hanging out with other car enthusiasts whether my car traps 19 mph or 119 mph

guys just made a few videos with my brother,he let me use his renntech air box,Holly crap I have no doubts it will break 120 with the box on.

the car is running so fast right now I want to give everyone rides in it.

right now the car has

renntech airbox/modded snorkle/K&N filters
Heat exchanger
tune
kleemann headers with prim cat delete

IT PULLS HARDER THAN WHEN I HAD A 180 PULLEY AND PUT DOWN 466whp
