Default Finally some times worth posting!!!!

Just my third time at the track (KCIR if you want to call it that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ) Now please understand that I have a M6 vert on 342's with Nitto's. Best of slips was 12.7XX at 114.X mph w/ a 2.0XX short. I can't wait to get this **** under 12.5 once I figure out the launch.

12.7@114?! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Please tell me you have more mods that just Nitto's. Tell us about your launch. How high were your rpm's?

Great run!

From your engine bay pic I can see a few mods...

1. MAFT
2. SLP Bellows
3. Metco Breather (?)
4. MAF ends (at least not stock)
5. Lid
6. BMR STB

That's all I can see except for appearance mods. I'm guessing you have some other goodies in there.

His major mods are, MAC's with cats, SLP loudmouth, 224 cam, ASP, McLeod single kevlar disk, Ls6 intake, SVO 30#, and Ls1edit by yours truly. His car is doing extremely well considering Randy has a heavy *** vert and this is only like his 2nd or 3rd time at a dragstrip.

My props to ya Randy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks guys for good words! The only other mod Mark did not list is I just installed a cut out with a Qtec. I don't know if it really helps much but is pretty cool when I get ready to do a burn-out and open it with just a pull of the switch. Nice piece! I think I will go ahead and get the auto on switch to have it open up as I am going down the strip. I understand that helps with maintaining some low end tq.
