Alan,
Best MPH at the end of the 1/4 is 90.72 (Ive gone faster but the damn timing
system was caput...) Supposedly a 91.2 mph after unloading about 250lbs
from the truck, but NOOOO traction at all.)

What's the MPH?
That will give a good indication or the HP he's making.
ET is more about traction and driving abilities.

Again the mirror,
Carlsbad raceway is challenging my buddies F body. He too is
embarrased by
his times and feels it when he posts to the F body list...
His set up
includes a 6psi Vortech and all the bolt ons you can get...
dynoing at over
355hp to the rear wheels, and his times are a best of 12.85
and worst of
13.98...Maybe its that stream crossing at the 1/8th mile or
something...

Hmmm. Another testament to the slowness of TX Motorplex, as
far as stock
vehicles are concerned anyway. A racin buddy of mine has a
'98 C5 Conv.
6spd. He whittled and worked all night to a 14.2 best.
Slowest was 14.5.
That seems about normal for what I see from the C5's. NEVER
seen a 13
from one. But hey, thats just my experience. I'm not saying
faster
times don't happen, I just don't see them. Alan S.
