Finally got my car to the track last night very disappointed but every one was

my "best" run was 13.108 @ 108.44mph with a 2.00 60ft was expecting 12's

my cousin's 2013 GT 5.0 runs consistent 12.80's on street tires with a best run 12.64 last night ran 13.2x's best run was 13.0 on a DR

a friends vette ran consistent 12.1's since he tuned and was on a DR ran 12.3's

few others were 4 to 5 tenths slower to

temps was 70's down to 60 as the sun went down humility was 45ish

can some one tell me why?

By ls6 swap do you mean intake or the whole engine? If you mean ls6 engine then your MPH is pretty bad low and you need a tune bad.

Past that it's probably a matter of launch and shifting more than anything.

yes sorry LS6 intake manifold, was launching @ 5000rpm's to try and get over the nose dive at take off from hooking shifting is pretty descent

Well either way, the DA can effect your times significantly and obviously your buddies were slower as well, because of the DA.

Practice or not, you cant outshift the weather.

thats what i'm finding out! the ET street's on my car are hooking to good i'm going to try more air pressure to see if I can get them to slip a little on take off to help over come the bog too


I'm pretty confident this car is capable of running 12's since every one else was running 3 to 5 tenths slower then what they normally run

what would be "good" weather for a track day?

Track prep could have a lot to do with it too.

Negative DA

50 degrees and no humidity
