Default Finally in the 13's

Landed a new personal best today:

2.076
5.725
8.774 @ 81.25
13.615 @ 102.679

Mods are DT headers, FWI, and car was tuned by Bluecat out of Ashland Ky. Still has stock catback with resonator. I was shooting for anything in the 13's lol, so a 13.6 was very satisfying. Im actually still at the track right now, that was my first and only pass of the day, so if I improve I will update. Just wanted to share!

That's a great 60ft time for the mods!

Better still:

2.037
5.652
8.689 @ 80.892
13.504 @ N/A (pro-street car ran over the lights) my guess would be 101.xx based off the 1/8mph

Very good! You're about where I was with full exhaust. I bet if you did a custom catback you would beat my old 13.45 by a long shot! Those 60 ft times are hookin up in these cars!

I hit 13.51 @ 103, but with a 8.75 @ 80.xmph. I'd say you were at 102mph at the trap. Got me beat by .01! I gotta go out and see if I can get 13.50's without the Superchip.

Thanks guys!! I was stoked to say the least when I clicked off the 13.50, so stoked in fact that I went back to make another pass and try to better it..............didnt happen, lol. I got greedy on the launch and spun horribly, 2.37 60' to a 14.05 (which is still faster than my best stock time!)

AG, you think simply removing the resonator would help any at all? Or just make the car a little louder? This will be my last trip to a track this year so I need to figure out what my next mod will be. I know I need to be saving for a TEP tranny, but I'd also love to do a LS6 intake........what to do, what to do???

That's awesome, I'd love to get mine down into the mid 13's. That seems especially impressive with having a stock catback!

Thanks man (and welcome to the forum)! In the video my buddy calls out 13.59 but that was actually my dial-in time, I broke out with the 13.504 which was fine by me, lol.

Stock size Bridgestone Potenza's, practically bald but they did the trick.
