Default First run ever at the track.....12.1 @ 117

Ran my car last month.

Mods in sig.

Ran a 12.1 @ 117...
^^ Launching at 2500 RPMs

I think it trapped pretty high for a cam only car.




Since last month Ive added heads and a nine inch.. We will see what it can do next week

NICE!!! First time at track, too. Good job! 12.1 with only a Torquer V2... Must be a fun ride on the street with those 4.10's!

How did you launch (what RPM, sidestep or slip, etc.) and what kind of tires were you running?

I launched at 2500 and just slipped the clutch out slowly. I was running on 315 nittos, but they suck ***.

I have basically the same setup. But I don't really know what it will run yet because my clutch master was going out and I could not get it to shift into 4th very easy... my trap was 116, so I would expect similar results. What 60' did you have?
