Last night was the first time i have ever been to a drag strip. And this was the first time i have ever taken my car off the line in a racing situation. I was running on my Hankook K104 tires. Which hooked pretty good, wasn't expecting much from them. Well anyways i know i have a high 12 second car on my hands, but i need to drop my 60'. My fourth run i missed 2nd and 3rd didn't want to go in so i didn't bother and ran a 15. But here are my first runs ever in my car.
Run 1: Run 2:
R/T- .684 .409
60'- 2.321 2.244

109.83 109.15
My 60' were horrible, but i was able to bring my reaction time really down. I ran a .184 and .185 back to back. The .184 was on my 15sec. run when 2nd and 3rd fucked up. I know if i get my 60' down to a 2.0 i will easily break into the 12's. And my friend who has never been to the track before ran his stock SVT Lightning (stock down to the factory intake) ran a 1.9 60' and did a 13.9. I had an awesome time and can't wait to try again for the 12's.

u got a 12s car here buddy .

congrats.

 

I wanted the 12's thats what i was shooting for. But i guess it will come another day when i launch it a different way. I know i got what it takes to get 12's, just need to start it off alittle better. I know when i hit 12's im going to have a smile from ear to ear.

yeah you deffinatly got a 12 sec car traping 109 almost 110. I have seen people run high 11s with 113 trap. You should in vest in some mt drag radials.

 

What im worried about is those MTs hooking to good and destroying my whole 10-bolt. I know i can launch it better, just the first time at the track i was nervous as ****.

Not bad for your first time out. Like others have said, you have a 12second car there. Next investment should be a rear and a good driveshaft.

 

Your 12's are in your 60.
Get em down to a flat 2.0 and you'll have your 12 second run.
A lot of the ET comes from seat time.

 

Yeah i know i need to get my 60' down. I was shooting for 12's the whole night and the first thing i would look at were m y 60', if it didn't show anything below a 2.2 i knew i didn't get it. But i still think i had a great time.

Wow, nice times. WTF bolt ons did you use to get 346whp/360wtq??? I'm seeing less torque then you with minor bolt ons and a Z06 cam. Do you have long tube headers on your car?

 

Well i got SLP Lontube Headers, yeah i guess minor is not really the best word to use. Yeah i was in shock when i saw that much torque, i asked the guy if it was correct and he said yeah. My times are good, but i want to head to the track again and drop that '60 i know its got 12's in it.

LOL I was beginning to think my car was a dud. Longtube Headers tend to add alot of torque. I'd buy them for my car if I didn't live in California.
