Default New best time.

Hey everyone.

today at the track I ran a 9.0 at 80mph in the 1/8th.
Still had a really bad 60' best was 2.17 or 2.18 something like that.


not bad for a lid and ported Tb. I had the best results just launching with it in D (might be OD for you camaro guys - 4th gear - the regular drive that you use all the time).

Stall should be here next week or so. 3,600 with 2.2 str.

that should wake her up some!!

Well it is a poorly done track - 100 degree day - even higher on the track.
My friend with a lid / ls6 intake, LT's, true duals M6 with better tires was running 8.8's.
There was a turbo 01 cobra running 8.6's - although he was shifting early because of boost problems.
So i'm pretty happy with how it was running - outran everything up there short of track cars, bolt on 99-02 GT, Skittle, turbo 240sx, mach1, ect.

Need to head up to MIR or Cecil one of these days to get a run on a well prepped track.
Regardless thanks for the input. the time will drop...
