Default first run n the Z

Was at silver dollar raceway in Reynolds,Ga. Some of the best track prep i have seen. First run was with cutout open, a friend in the car and spare tire removed, 210 temp also. Went 13.16 at 105.4. 1.9 60ft.Suprised the heck out of me, if only he was out of the car. Went back to the pits and removed the sway bar, borrowed a lid from a friend,descreened maf, removed filter and used the bathroom alot..lol..Best i could get out of it was a 13.029 at 107.7 with a 2.0 60ft. Had 5 other runs ranging from 13.029 to 13.077. extremely consistent. 12's are a guaranteed next.

Good meeting you yesterday man. Your car was running good! Especially with 2.73's.

Mine on the other hand wouldn't let me slip the clutch, bogged bad off the line and I got the dreaded sticking clutch pedal. I guess I'll be changing the fluid and bleeding the air and hoping it's not the clutch yet since I just got the car not too long ago. I did get a 13.5/105 yesterday though. Not bad for a sticking clutch/bogging at the start 2.2 60'.

Yea, nice to meet you too. If i had known it was that consistent i would have entered the bracket race. Get that clutch problem fixed and come to this crappy dragstrip in montgomery and lets line em up one day. It feels good driving 150 miles to the track witha 15 gallon cooler in the back seat luggage and everything. Empty that out pop off a 13.0 load it back up and drive home on one tank of gas.
