Default Bone stock LS3 M6 w/ DR's

Just got home from the track and fell short of my 11.9x goal but came real close with a 12.1 @ 118. I ran 18 lbs. of air in my MT DR's and pulled a best 60-ft of 1.89. It is very tricky to launch these cars with the torque management. I'm hoping with cooler air and a stronger 60-ft, I'll reach my 11.9x goal.

In cooler air you will see the 11s with DRs, no doubt.

Nice runs. You should definitly be in the 11's in colder air. Those LS3's are freaks out of the factory.

Nice going. That's alot of tire for your car. I would try airing them up more. I would start around 24 psi and do good burn. Slowly work your way down 1 psi at a time IF necessary. The street tires are good for that 60' time so keep them on the high side. Goodluck.
