Good to hear on the tires being OK. I'll probably get another drag weekend & maybe one test out of them next spring. I'd rather not swap them if they still have life.
I also didn't touch the tune one bit. AFR was pretty solid in the 11-12.2 range with most of it being in the 11.3-11.7 so no issues there. I also ran low boost yesterday, I might need to dial in my fueling when I am on the party pulley, but low boos setting is good!
In other news, being on the internet all the time makes you think 10 second and faster LS cars are EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE knows about them, especially going on something like Drag Week or LS fest or a 'nationals' car show. My experience, at the track, that's not the case. A few people mentioned they were impressed I was able to drive in under my own power, knock off some low 12 high 11's in a 35 yr old car and change tires and go home. There was a smaller crew next to me of guys in their upper 50's/60's who were pretty surprised I was running as good as I did with an untouched engine. He asked if I had pistons or rods and I said nope, $200 stock 6.0, all the engine has is a set of valve springs and a cam.
I was too busy to watch any of the other cars but besides that LSA 5th gen camaro running high 10's and a few Elon-mobiles running 11's and that 5.0 mustang running low 10's despite the turnout being great there wasn't much really fast stuff.
A few other pictures-
The dude on the bike had a sweet bravada swapped S10 that he hauled his bike in. I've never seen one in person (always kinda wanted one). He even had the bravada tail lights & rear bumper.
$2.75ish e85, I can live with that!
Oh, P.S.
Swapping the front brake pads from the parts store specials that I got on the LS camaro calipers from the salvage yard to these ceramic ones was 100% worth it. Brake performance is the same but WOW it doesn't instantly turn the front wheels brown from dust.
