Exclamation Lost a full second off my time

Went to the track last Friday ( Houston Raceway Park) and got a new best of a 12.6 @105 mph with a 1.7 60 foot time. This was my second time to go to the track. The first time I went to the track I ran a 13.6 with my street tires. The only change since the last time was my converter ( Vig.3200) and Nitto 555r's 245/50/16's. Not to bad for a 16 yr old huh?

not bad. adding a stall to a stock ls1 is almost as good as spraying it. keep up the good work. maybe i will see you there one day next year. i will probably go during the clash or the titans.

Actually, I think you gained a second. Losing a second would not be a good thing

LOL When I was 16 I had a Chevette w/a M4, it probably would have taken over 20 seconds to get down the 1320 .

Congrats on the 12s
