Default Finally got it to the track

Well I finally went to the track this weekend after installing the headers/ory, tune and shift kit and was pretty pleased with my results. We only have 1000ft. tracks around here but ran a best of 11.7 this summer before the mods and yesterday I hit a 11.0 but couldn't get into the 10's. Anyways in the 1/8 I ran a best of an 8.6 on 245 street tires, and 2.73 gears which I don't know what that would convert to in the 1/4 but just by looking at some of other peoples timeslips it should be about a 12.9 or 13.0 if I was guessing also my SES light came on the next day with a PO134 and 135 codes so it might not have even been running at full efficiency Anyways just thought I'd share it with yall, I know its not near as impressive as most on here but I think its a good start and a nice improvement from last time

An 8.6 1/8-mile will get you mid 13s. What were the 60 foot times? I'm sure there's more left there and that could be unlocked with better traction. My 12.89 pass had a 8.32 1/8-mile time.

I had 2.0 60' times pretty consistently which I blame more on the 2.73's and stock stall than the tires. Surely thats better than a mid 13 isn't it???? Most time slips I've seen you can add about 2 seconds onto your 1000ft. time and get a pretty close estimate on your 1/4 time which is where I was figuring a 13.0 or so but I was still hoping I could hit 10's which would theoretically equate to 12's in the 1/4. Is this on par with most bolton LS1 A4's with 2.73's or am I lacking somewhere???
