Going To The Track For The First Time..... ok i ahve some questions.. i have a 2002 Trans Am see sig for mods. and i am running street tires on my stock 10 bolt 
here are some questions:
what PSI should i set my rear and front tires at?
I ahve a little bit of a slipping problem from the clutch. so what RPM should i feather the clutch out of the hole at?
What do you think i will trap? And what speed? i think 13.4 @ 106 with a 2.3 60'
What else should i know or expect?
this will by my first car i ever own to get in to the 13's god damn 97 Mustang GT i had every thing on that car known to man N/A of course and still could not brake 14. My best time was a 14.01 @ 96.28 with a 1.87 60'
yes it was a 5 speed too...

I can tell you that you won't run a 13.4 @ 106 with a 2.3 60'; Now, you might run a 13.4 you might run 106 mph and you might run 2.3 60'...you just won't run them all at the same time. I'm auto, so a little different but I went 13.5 @103 on a 2.0 60' when i was stock on street tires. Good luck, have fun. Let us know what you ran.

his is 6 speed. also, a local cop met with us there with his procharged LS1 WS6. it puts down about 490 at the wheels, with a 6 speed, Nittos, 12 bolt with 4.10s and all supporting mods he ran a 12.3 at 116. im not sure if its the track but i dont know anyone with a 4th gen who can hook well there. at least i havent seent it yet on Drag radials.
