First Pass: Bolt on M6 6800 DA

![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Well the crappy thing about living in Reno is that the elevation is roughly 5000ft above sea level. I have a heads/cam/nitrous kit waiting in my garage to be installed but I wanted a baseline run. I also have a fabbed 8.8 ready to be dropped in. Anyways, the DA at the track was 6800 ft :0 so i wasn't expecting to run anything special lol My car is an 02 Z28 M6 with Lid, KN filter, LT headers, ORY and STOCK Tune. I have 315/35 nittos on the rear so I was very conscious about launching the car since this is my DD until i get a beater in 2 weeks. With my crappy launches I could best muster a 2.2 60' and trapped 13.8 at 104mph. I did 4 runs with 3 of them going into 4th gear. I'm still with 3.42 gears so I could manage to stay in 3rd and I trapped 104 dam near 105. I dont know how well this is considering the DA was 6800ft. I figured it would be a good baseline before i do the HC and rear swap. Let me know you think.

Where I race (Bristol,TN) the best I've seen the da is 4000. And my headers, ory, lid, 410 car only managed 106. I added a LS6 intake and a dumped bullet and starting trapping upper 108. After a cam I went to 112-113. The DA is killing you.

You'll drop .4~.8 going to Sac. You'll pick up a few MPH as well. The track works a lot better too. I'm assuming you were at a $5 friday trying to race after 100 front drive cars tracked water down a virtually unprepped track. 6800 is about as good as it gets for Fallon though.

Picnic George: Yeah I was at $5 Friday and Fallon is a pretty crappy track from what I can tell the 3-4 times Ive raced there. I lived in NYC for 1 year and I raced at Englishtown, NJ quite a bit. Night/Day comparison between Fallon and Englishtown lol The FWD cars are a little rediculous when it comes to tracking water down the track. I really need to get that 60' time down and my time should improve considerably. My custom 8.8 is completely done I'm just fabricating a torque arm mount for it now (I have a thread in Gears/Axles with pics of that btw). When that goes in I can launch without worrying about my rear exploding. I'm looking for some more LS or car buddies in Reno so send me a PM sometime.

bwolf I hate the Fallon drag strip. The prep there is pretty much non existant and like George said, all the stupid Honda's drive through the water box and track water up the track and the officials don't tell them anything, ugh.
I'm the same as you mods wise...
2000 WS6 M6 with lid/TB/LS6 Intake/Headers/Catback/Tune. 340rwhp/350lb/ft at Street to Sand Performance.
I can never get a good 60ft there, I always end up running 2.2's or 2.3's on stock tires. In Sacramento at least you can pull 2.0-2.1's with stock tires. In Fallon I ran a best of 13.7 @ 107mph with a 2.3 60ft with my passenger seat, back seat, and jack and spare tire pulled out at about 6800ft DA.
In Sacramento the DA was about 800ft and I was trapping 112-113mph and have squeaked out a 114mph in negative DA. 13.2 @ 113mph with a 2.1 60ft were my last runs there. I just hate driving to Sac because it's like 2 and a half hours to the track.

Just don't go on $5 friday. I honestly don't care, my car can pull the wheels at TNT and I can barely get it moving on a $5 friday. But it's cheap and it's a fun way to spend a friday evening. That's why I'm putting my slicks on next time I race a $5 friday. I'm sure I can make my car work on that track just need some time ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
But no matter what, Sac works better.
