BR02SS

Sounds like u had a better first time at the track than i did. My first track night i threw two rods and a piston out the side of my block driving home. The car was stock.

What all u have done to it?

12.5 on a bad track sounds good!! Car must not be stock, what mods?? The next time out remove ANY excess weight (inculding spare and jack), run your gas down to 1/4 tank, and shallow stage for more rollout. With good traction and those tips you should drop 3 or 4 tenths, maybe hit 11s if everything is right!! Good Luck and keep us posted!! Larry

Car has a torquer v2 cam, headers, yank 3600 it was on quick time pros stock wheels up front I'm not sure of the weight of the car though. The wheels I had were still rubbing my calipers still got some grinding to do.

The 2nd pass I made the car wouldn't shift so I'm not sure what went wrong

BR02SS

yeah im hoping next time I go the track will be in a little better condition. and figure out why my trans wouldn't shift on the second pass I made

its been mentionedon here a lot but race in OD not D and overfill trans slightly so it cant suck the pan dry and shifting will improve

was your issue hanging in 2nd and tripping the limiter instead of completing the 2/3 shift?

Its not that bad though. For the first thats pretty good.

BR02SS

Yeah I believe that's what happened. So are you saying I should go 1st 2nd then OD and just skip D

I wont to get it into the 11s before I put the bottle on it

Cra-Z Larry

No, he means just put the shifter in OD instead of D. The trans will shift through all the gears normally but you'll cross the finishline before it hits OD.

^ Cra-Z Larry has my back lol yes thats what I meant run it in od , its been specified in other threads with a technical explanation as to why putting it in d uses more fluid capacity , extra apply being used or something along those lines....

garygnu

they are correct about running in OD and adding trans fluid.bring a tire gauge and a air tank with ,try different tire pressures .

BR02SS

Ill try that next time just pull up to line put it in od and go if I'm reading this correctly. All my friends told me to put it in 1st and shift up from there.

Bet you pick up some more letting the PCM do the shifting.
