Default New Best

Not as good as alot of you guys but good for me. I have the stock rearend and gears so I don't do those monster launches (not sure if I could anyway). The temp was 84 degrees, humitity around 77% (I was hot) and no wind.

60' 2.06
1/8 8.090
1/8 90.55
1/4 12.313
1/4 117.05

I was pretty happy. It seems like my 1/8 mph is a little low. Maybe my soft launches?

My car: '00 Formula, MTI stage II heads, C1 cam, Grot Headers, slp 2otl catback (cutout closed), stock tuning (HPP to raise rev limiter) and most other bolt ons.

I will be getting tuning in the near future as well as a rear w/ 4.10s so I'm hoping to pickup a little more.

Congrats, nice times on actual street tires. My best on GS-C's was a 12.21 @ 119.93 cutting a 2.0 light but it was in 60 degree weather with low humidity @ HRP.

Thanks, I do run nitto's but do a quick burn out to clean them versus heating them up.
