Default PB Friday nite at Track 1/8 mile

Drove my C5 to track and 1st pass right off 7.20. Made two more pass ended up with 7.19 1.58 60ft at 95.75 mph. Wish this would have been a 1/4 mile shot because I think it would have went about 11.28.

Seems it pulls good up top. What size converter is it'd seems like you could shave a tad more off the sixty. Da on that pass?



Where all that weight come from?

Hmmm.. I would just think for that mph out of a bolt on car it has a tad.bit better sixty out of it, could be wrong though. No matter what that is a sick time!

Not bad man. I would defiantly go with 26" tall tire tho that tall tire is killing you down low. When I was just intake and LTH with Off-Road X pipe and SLP Loudmouths, I was getting 1.49 60" with a 26" MT DR! I was dumping a 5500k and barely slipping the clutch at the end to avoid wheel hop.

I can not get my self to run a 26" tire as they look like chit. Dont care if faster or not. M/T 275x17s DRs are a little shorter than 26".

I would love to have that 60' with my MN6 car. A couple weeks ago I ran a 7.55 at 96.4 mph with only a 1.76 sixty. My LS7 clutch and lack of skill are limiting my ET I suppose.
