Default Ok guys are you ready to laugh.......

Well despite possible tuning issues with my car and possibly risking hurting my car more I made the decision to head up to the track, I might possibly be the worst off the line driver ever, mods/power in the sig. I really need some tires.....

1st run I got a solo run that was cool.

R/T ... .650
60' ... 2.587
330 ... 6.277
1/8 ... 9.144
mph ... 86.41
1000 ... 11.564
1/4 ... 13.571
mph ... 111.91

2nd run against a chevelle 396 lost
ME /Chevelle
R/T ... 1.088 /1.027
60' ... 2.717 /1.701
330 ... 6.414 /5.040
1/8 ... 9.236 /7.803
mph ... 87.45 /89.04
1000 ... 11.613 / 10.192
1/4 ... 13.598 /12.193
mph ... 113.63 /113.22

Right First 1.4664

Go ahead start poking fun. This was my first time out with the new set-up though. Keep that in mind. The car def has potential to be a 12 second car

Those 60's are pretty rough, I cut some 2.3X's in my '69 that has a plain 350 and I was spinning lol. No worries though once you figure out the launch your car will put up the ET's you're looking for.

Id like to be an 11second driver

This was my first time out, im only use to driving a 280hp car, I dont know how to power shift, and I havnt found the sweet spot yet with the clutch and gas, it will all come to me and everything will be good.

Wow, 2.5 and 2.7 60' time? Yikes. Need lot of work on launching.

So, fill us on your launching method, perhaps we could give you some pointers.

Well, here it goes.

Pull to the stagin lights, im sitting there waiting, waiting, on the third light I go, I try letting up easy on the clutch but by then im allready spinning, I try jumpin out of the hole but my tires dont wanna grip for me, what do I want when im sitting on 275/40/17 bfgoodrich kdw's. I wasnt expecting anything too great knowing this was only my second time out, and first time out with my new setup. I race before alot with my a4 car switching over to m6 is a whole new ball game. But I like the challenge, ill be back up ther soon enough. it just sux when you have to sit there for an hr or so and then you forget what you were goin to try different you next time up. Now as far as power shifting goes yes or no, I have no idea how too.

I pulled a 2.1 with my old stock 93 Z28 with bald street tires and a dying optispark

All joking aside, learn to drive and grab you some traction and you'll be in the 12s at least.
