Talking True duals improved my 1/4 time!

First time I had the Z28 on the road since I put the true duals on.
before,,, my best time was 12.82 sec in the quarter mile.
Time was done with my Vector FX 1 , yeah, yeah,... I know they ain't all that accurate, but there isn't any time tracks around so its the best I can go by.
Anyway's I got 12.48 this time, at 112. mph. the tires were spinning the first 100 feet,

I be happy.

12.48 1/4 @ 112.7 mph
8.10 1/8 mile @ 89.8 mph
0 - 60 mph 4.1 sec.
60 foot 1.98 sec's

So you speed was the same before the duals? If that's true, doesn't seem like you made more power, more like you had a better 60'.. Have you dyno'd the car by any chance?

and you don't get a 1.98 60' spinning tires for a 100ft...i'd say you need to take it to a real track...

Agree.. Like I already said, it would be nice to see those times, but I don't see it with the mods you have personally. Take one day off, drive the 320 miles to the track to see for sure.

All I can say is what the Vector read out, Yup I want to see real track times too.
Agreed with what every one says, I'll post rack times when I can,
here's some info on the timer.
