Default First time to the track..

This was my first time ever running a car at the track: South Georgia Motorsport Park. Hot and humid (had rained all day). First run of the night was 12.6@115. Last run of the night was a 12.4@115. I need a 9'' bad so I can launch with slicks on this car. It's still stock rear with 3.73 on nitto555r (315).

Mods: TEA stg 2.5, F13, kooks LT, Magnaflow, fast intake & nw 90mm.

I was not disappointed. I just wanted to run faster than a 13

i havent been able to run my car with the new mods and tune, but am curious if i can make it into the 12's with 415/380 (obviously its possible) but im still on a stock clutch!! im just curious what it runs right now, kinda a baseline...then when i put on a ls6 intake, tb, and pulley, ill see what i gained...

I wouln't call the ET outstanding for a H/C car, but the MPH is there, and like you said, once you leave on it good it'll be a different story.

Should be solid 11's...


What were your 60's btw...

My clutch is slipping pretty bad now. It's still a stock clutch. The 12.4 run had a 2.079 60'. Once I get a new clutch, my rear and slicks it should be much cooler out and i'll be up at SGMP all the time
