Just a heads up.
Monday, October 22, 2007 6:18 PM
Hey i know i'm not a j-body but was sure a couple people on here was interested in what i ran at the track. Anyway i have a 95 probe gt...called dark angel. Here is a couple pics.





The picss are old. The car still needs the paint finished and some more body work. Anyways I ran a 12.7 at 110mph on my first pass. then on my second i broke an alternator belt and didn't have enough juice to power my injectors at wide open throttle. My 60ft was 1.9. which still could be better. I let out of it during the launch because of torque steer toward the wall. Straightened her up and ran 12.7. I'm sure she is good for a 12.5 or 12.4. but this season is pretty much done. so. thats how it goes.

Btw its turbocharged with 14lbs of boost running mt slicks. Maybe i can get a current pic.

Thanks man. Yeah i need to get some new pics soon. but the car is always sooo dirty. Stupid black paint. Unfortunately, not sure iif u heard this also but when i was in soiux city racing skunk...and i blew up my coupler.. Well i did more damage than i thought. When i blew up thh coupler i dumped a bunch of fuel into tte engine and like a bomb it exploded. Result ended up with a cracked ring or two. Before i had left u guys i wass loading the ccar and noticed it was smoking preetty bad. I thought it was just alot of fuel. Nope Ever since then i've been smokinng like a chimmeny and its only getting worse.

So my very first probe rebuild will be happening this winter.

Good times...too bad you cheated, I don't have my dr's yet. I ran a 14.0 w/o a launch just babying it off the line at 105, but after a lil tune adjustment, got the trap speed up to 108, but still pig rich. So you win for this year, we'll see what happens next year
