First 1/4 mile performance Went out last weekend to Texas Motorplex in Ennis, TX and ran the 1/4 for the first time. Street tires and lots of wheel spin in first. 60' was a 2.19 which really sucks, and got into the rev limiter in 1st & 2nd. Quarter came in at a 13.2 & 108. Time for some DR's and launch practice.

Re: First 1/4 mile performance Thanks David - should have mentioned that it was a T56 running through a 3.70:1 R200 LSD and 225/50-16 street tires - S306 Yokohamas. Reason tires are so narrow is that car is a 1977 Datsun 280Z with the LS1 freshly installed. Going to get so DR's, and go to a 1/8 mile track and practice my launches. Car only weighs 2,830 lbs. so I know I can do much better.

Re: First 1/4 mile performance Chris- thanks for complimentary comment on car. I'm currently running essentially a stock clutch. Still sorting car out so nothing fancy at this point.
