Running 10's All Day Long!

Finally have the ProCharger dialed in well. Best run is:

10.818 @ 128.25, 1.565 sixty

Here's the run:



The sixty-foot is amazing, and the consistency of the runs is a race winner. Here is a montage of a good number of 10-second launches on the same day:

Bought a used 2004 GTO!

Now that the Camaro is becoming more and more a race car, I jumped on this opportunity when I saw it: a used 2004 GTO automatic in Cosmos Purple. It has 104k+ miles and is in great shape for a car that cost me only $4-figures. :-) It'll make a good daily driver.





Naturally, I had to take it to the track, back to Alabama, where it ran a 13.8 @ 101, bone stock (mostly).  My original GTO, back in the summer of 2004, never broke 100 or out of the 14's.

ProCharger D1-SC Installed

Took the plunge and installed the supercharger, a ProCharger D1-SC with a Wastegate and an Aeromotive fuel pump.  At max power level (about 11psi boost), it makes 620 rear-wheel horsepower and 572 torque. For a more manageable daily driver, we dialed it back to 595/535.





Here it is on the dyno:



And here it is on a brief jaunt in the mountains:



And here it is on a shakedown run, where it ran 10.7's in the 1/4-mile right out of the box:
