Default Went to the track yesterday

Well i finally got around to going to the track for the first time with my new set up. It went 12.02 at 119.7 mph untuned and with the stock LS1 intake. I was only able to get a 1.98 sixty foot because I keep bogging off the line due to me being a newbie when it comes to launching a six speed car. Oh an I do plan on getting a fast intake for it when I get the money. So all in all I don't think I did too bad considering the mods and my driving ability.

11's are easily in your future. Are you running a Drag Radial or just street tires? What R's were you launching at? Still nice runs and you'll get used to the stick.

I was running on ET street radials so traction was no problem and I was launching around 3000 RPMs.

Have you had your car dynoed? I be interested in the rwhp to compare to mine. I haven't had a chance to run mine since I bought it, but, it puts down 414 at the wheels. I bought a set of 315-35-18 drag radials and plan to run those in the spring. I think mine should run high 11's. It seems your 60ft might be holding your car back and maybe working on the launch is where your ets are going to improve. Man its cold here in Missouri today. No drag racing for a while for sure.

I haven't dynoed it yet. I'm wanting to wait untill I get a fast intake and my N2O kit put on to get it dyno tuned. But if I were to guess it would put down around 420-430rwhp as is.

I'm hoping with a little less weight than last time I can get a high 11 and a 120 mph trap. I went with 3/4 tank of gas and left my sub and amps in the car.

It has a mild bolt on tune from when I bought the car but it hasn't been tuned for the heads/cam combo yet.
