Default WooHoo....new best at Brainerd...

Took the car to Brainerd for a $30 club event. This is the first time I have raced this year...the car is still untuned.

New mods:
Midwest 3500 stall
TransGo Shift Kit
TR224-114
Jet Hot LTs
Hooker ORY
275/40 Nittos

My best was a 12.35 @ 107.2...I was shocked. It was ~82° and it was a little humid, not too bad. The rest of my runs were 12.70, 12.73, 12.82, 13.00, 13.08, and 13.23 (not in that order) and my best mph was 108.6. They only had the 1/4 ET and mph lights up, no 1/8 or 60'...

I had 18psi cold in the nittos with full weight and ZR1 wheels. I also have V6 springs, stock torque arm, boxed stock LCAs, stock PHR, stock shocks, BRM relocation brackets, and !front sway bar.

Not too bad I think. Future mods will be an LS6 intake, tuning, rear drag sway bar, torque arm, Pro Stars, higher stall, and maybe rear QA1s. Or just an NX wet kit

Also congrats to SS1LE02....I got my eye on you....you aint gonna beat me to 11s!!!! lol

They only set up the 1/4 ET and mph...no 60's....

I'd guess 1.8 since I was pulling 2.01s on the Goodyear F1s back when the car was stock.

Thanks

Since it was not a real drag 'event' (the dragstrip timing equipment was set up after the road course sessions ended), they didnt put down any TrackBite. We asked if we could bring our out and spray it on, but they said that wouldnt be allowed.

Maybe I can put the heat on 11s before this year is done!

SilverGhost, you're right. After I get all my mods on I'll have it tuned rather than have to go back for adjustments. I would almost rather do it myself since it's an auto, that way I can take all the time I need to get the upshift/downshift/TC locking/unlocking/etc all sorted out the way I want them...
