Default Went to the track **NOW WITH VIDEOS**

Temps were not the best, but we all know how az is. D.A was 3200 ft when I got to the track, and slowly dropped to 2,032 ft on my last pass. Track elevation is 1,243 ft. I wanted to see what car runs without nitrous, and the new clutch. I obviously need more seat time with my new clutch, its very aggressive. So here is The break down of my passes.


12.6@113.4 Wheel hopped really bad, and had to let off a few times.

12.5@115.5 did better, but I was easy on the shifts and launch.

12.3@116.3 did okay on the launch, got a little more aggressive on my shifts

12.1@114.8 launched hard, and power shifted, but missed 4th gear. I also trapped 2 mph higher in the 1/8 power shifting on this run, so I would have hit 11.9 and maybe trapped 117. Oh well. I'm still pleased with my car's performance. Baby seat in the car and all. Need more seat time with my new clutch

Mods:
2005 LS6 cts-v
Stageup tuned
MS3 cam with 113 LSA
Kooks 1 3/4 ceramic coated LTs
Magnaflow catback
Monster stage 3 clutch
K&n drop in filter
Gutted stock air box
Stageup ported tb

2nd run, easy on the launch and granny shifting

3rd run, too agressive on the launch, and had to get off the throttle for a sec..

4th run, this would have been my 11 second n/a run at about 117mph, but I missed 4th gear. DAMN!

Nice runs! Lets see some pics of the ported TB. Been thinking about doing this myself when the cam goes in.

Fixed for accuracy, you don't wanna be giving these guys false hope, like just throw a cam in and run these times. That last mod is key.

Thanks guys. My best 60ft was 2.07. It's got 117 mph traps in it, but I'm still learning my new clutch. I should get my 11 sec run n/a next time out hopefully.

And like ghettoty said, yes, the baby seat is my secret mod. Haa. People at the track were getting a kick out of it when they saw the baby seat, and me pulling the stroller out of the trunk. Lol.

Vids will come shortly.
