Default Ran surprisingly quick at RPR

Ran a 12.8 with only P&P throttle body, 3.73's, LT's, MTI lid, and a tune

12.04 was my best. I thought the DA would have been better, but the humidity was terrible. Also, too many track shutdowns.

that was not a bad pass for your mods on street tires. maybe mph should be a little higher but.... i bet a few more passes you can get it down to a mid 12.

Is this your cars from Friday Night? Cars sounded and ran great! I have almost everything finalized with RPR and we will have all pics from every friday night on the fourms, facebook, and website. Video's also coming so everyone can see what they missed while sitting in the pits all night. Thanks and see you all at the track.

I was there in my red ws6 clone. Your times are about normal for the mods. My car with ls6 intake, LT's, slp loudmouth 2, lid, street tune, 3200 stall/3.73's went 12.23 at 110.4 on a 1.66 60 foot. 315 NT05R drags. Nothing special. You get traction and stall, you will run similar. My car weighed in at 3686 lbs last night. For those guys claiming faster times on stock cars, they must have been much lighter.

I think I may have been one car ahead of you, there was a black ws6 behind me in the lanes at one point.

My car would do 2.00's 60 foots all day long on any tire with no stall and 2.73 gears. Stall and drag radials got me to 1.71. 3.73's got me to 1.66 so far. I expected alot more out of these 3.73 gears. So far, a big waste in money for nil performance gain. i went 12.31 to a 12.23. 2.73 to 3.73... thats horrible

DA was between -400 and -500 between 930 and 1130 pm for anyone wondering

Yea, it would seem so. Actually I only run for slips, so I won't be out there from April to November.

I know how it is with the good air; it is definitely difficult to turn down some great DA. This new 5.0 of mine hasn't really ran tons faster in good air compared to normal days we see down here.
