.... 13.7 for a relatively stock ls1 in a reasonably heavy car is pretty good going. Your 33 is about the same weight as a commo with no interior or fat chicks. Most people have no idea how fast a flat 13 sec 1/4 really is.

N20 time...

I do. And this car should be getting close to them IF Nick setups the rear suspension AND tyres.

I'm in a heavier car, running 13.004 down the quarter at 106MPH.

Nick ran originally 13.9@106MPH in a car that is way lighter than I am.

Probably a smaller torque converter would help get this thing off the line easily, OR really really sticky rubber. Chasing more power is not going to help if you are already struggling to put power down at the half way mark...

what 60ft on the 13.7?

My best was a 2.046, my fastest home was done on a 2.172 60'

I have et slicks sitting there, I never dropped my tire pressures the other day and I'm on stiff coil overs

I want a 12 second street car... It's just a matter of time

What power you making?

No idea I've never had it on a dyno?

At a guess through my auto with the bigger converter I reckon it would struggle to go 195rwkw

Tune her up on the rollers, sort out your 60 footers and she will pull 12s easy.

This is true... but for 2nd run at the drags with a poor set up it's not too bad.

As for improvements... Better tires, 0 static rear camber, softer rear springs/shocks, re-angle the rear cradle, adjust ride height to straighten drive shafts, lighten the car more, VHT tire prep.... list goes on. How far do you compromise???

No need to lighten it, it just needs a sensible suspension setup put in it.

Softer rear shocks and springs, get rid of the epic camber, and run low 13s.

PS: My 13.004 was on my first EVER run at the drags...

But Pineapples, different shocks/springs, realign suspension, DONE. Go run flat 13s on same power.

Ended up getting the car featured on LS Nations Facebook page

Not really an update but a bit of car activity:

Dropped the oil and changed the oil filter and air filter yesterday preparing the car the the little run it got a Queensland raceway with the supra club yesterday. Overall the day was good with some mighty fast supras there, an even a 1uz powered jza80 (which I actually chopped down the main straight )

So yeah just a few shots from the day.

Big thanks to QLDSC in particular tara and scott i know how much effort goes into organising events like this aswell as SAU Qld, Mike, Tony, Scot, Boz etc fantastic to see the club moving forward and getting back into some driving orientated events

Cheers
