Default Just got back from Capitol Raceway Opinions Please on my run

Had my best run tonight, 12.78 at 111 with a 2.04 60' My mods are G2 intake,FTRA,Loud Mouth,HPP3, and a few of the free mods. My car is a 2000 Camaro SS with the M6. Basically I just want to know if this is about right. Should I Improve on anything or By some more parts?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Oh, and I've got 17" BFG Drag Radials. Thanks Guys.

Sounds great to me. Congrats. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Yes, you need to buy more parts! Maybe from someone called THUNDER RACING! <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Funny you should mention that, as I look through my receipts the name Thunder Racing happens to come up quite often <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Thanks for the feedback, I think it's time for headers. Now if I could only find a pair of Grotts....... <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Grotts are a little overpriced.You should call Jason about what he is running on his T/A he will steer you in the right direction on the best performance for the $$$$$$$.By the way nice times for such a crappy 60ft. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

1.7's would be awesome though for bolt ons <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

1.6's would be just plain sick for a M6 <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

1.5's and below <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Thats a nice time for your mods and 60'. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> get that 60' time down and watch your ET's drop. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

To get your 60 ft times down you probably need new tires - 17" DR's still have a pretty stiff sidewall. 15" ET streets would be the way to go, but even 16" on take off wheels would be better than 17's.

LCA's might help too - especially if you get better hooking tires.

Just my 2 cents from observing what works for others...

Personally, for racing I plan to go with 16" ET streets on Weld Draglite XP wheels and 15" skinnies on the front. Or maybe 15" Bogarts or Monoques if I can save up that much cash.
