Just Got Back From The Track!!!!

my baseline run was a 13.5 @104 w/ a 2.5 60'

i ran an 11.8 @ 115 w/ a 1.6 60'

my first two runs i was leaving right above idle and i ran a couple of 12.0's. the third and final run i flashed the converter up to 3000 and let it go. it launches really hard!!! i love my cheap TCI converter!!!!!!!!!!

That's still pretty good.

I bet you can pull some high 1.5s with practice and perfect traction.

Had fun didn't you?

i had a blast! i raced some guy's drag car and hung right next to him the whole way down the track. And the other two times were against a 99+ mustang and an LT1 camaro, they were both gettting pretty small in my rearview mirror! im pretty sure that if i had a couple more passes i couldve improved a little on the launch.

was the baseline before the heads & cam? that's a lot of mph to gain.

Ok, thats what I figured. You could have easily seen 12's with a decent 60' time, were your tires shot or did the track prep just plain suck on the 2.5 60' run??
