-CAI
-Exhaust
-Running on 18 inch rims with low profiles.
-A4
Best Runs:
.500 tree..
1/8 =10.200
Reaction=.545
0-60 ft= 2.453
MPH= 71.99
1/8=10.069
Reaction= .579
0-60 ft=2.363

Planning on getting some slicks for the next race day.
Thinking about a small 150 shot of nitrous.
It was a very hot day (+33C)
Car seemed like it was hitting a rev limiter.

try stalling the car to like 1000 on the line to see if you can cut a better 60', and try some smaller wheels those 18's are probably killing you. I wouldnt hit the juice until you get the N/A time just about right. I think you should se mid 9's even with street tires.

The track is lower quality and doesn't grab as much from what I hear. The water box is impossible to drive over so I'm always starting with wet tires. It also felt like my car bogs down hard from (1-2) it shifts way too high 6000rpm.
Hopefully anything isn't too messed up with my car if it seems that way. running a .500 tree and running .54x isn't too too bad.. but if you s-10 rocks a 10.5 then I dunno. Also had a passenger but still.

I looked around and I think I'm running alright for what my car has done to it as well as my lack of experience. I will run with some slicks next race day and post back and see the improvement.
**some guy had a 94 z28 w/headers,exhaust,cai etc.. and was running like 80mph so I'm not too worried to all those saying im going to slow,

you should be way faster than 10s, my 95 z lt1 with the exact same mods ran 8.7s at 81 mph on street tires
how many miles are on the car??? def try stalling it to about 800 - 1000 that will really help get those 60's down
2.73 or 3.23 gears ???
