Default I made it in the 12's

Was at GLD last night in WI to race my 2000 Trans Am M6.

Sadly, the 60 foot times were not recording... they were broken.

Anyway I ran a 12.964 @ 111.57 on my last run of the night. Idk the 60 foot as I said before it was broke, but I can tell you it was terrible. I left the lane spinning and getting a little sideways... i was surprised I still ran a 12.9

The car has Pacesetter headers, ORY w/ flowmaster merge, and a Magnaflow cat-back. For intake mods I got a SLP lid w/ K&N filter, no MAF screen, and a smooth bellows. For trans I got a Pro 5.0 with LSS and the Tick master cylinder.
Everything else is stock, and I ran this with crappy 245/50/16 all season tires. Maybe not that impressive to you guys, but I felt very good about it. Yay for 12 second club!

Nice man, I was hopin you'd get to the track since we have similar mods and car minus the long tubes. Maybe my 275's, ram air, and a good 60' will net me a 12.9 second slip as well. Congrats! Whats up next for mods? LS6 Intake, Fast toys Ram Air, and a dyno tune?

Pre-long tubes I ran a 13.4@107... but with a 2.275 60 foot.... so idk maybe you can get into the 12's without the LT's.

For mods next, I am going to get some new rims and tires (315s), then work on the suspension of the car. Then later I plan for a LS6 intake, and a cutout. After that I don't think I want to mod the motor much more... but don't we all say that?

Thats not a good idea. Those wheels weigh a ton. To much rotation mass. Try and get something smaller. Im pretty sure 255/40R16 MT DR's Gen2 would hold you.
