Default My first slip!

I just got to the strip with my SS (Mods in Sig) for the first time lastnight. Its only the second time I have ever raced downa strip. The best it seemed I could muster was a 13.521 @ 102.37 with a 2.126 60'...Not all that bad I guess?...I look forward to running again soon.

about average. Based on the 2.126, just guessing you felt the tires spinning a little Thats normal. the 102 is a smidge slow. Would expect about 104-108 depending on your shifting and the 13.521 is also a little slow. Experience shifting will get you into the 13.2ish range I would expect based on your mods and what you've said about only going twice. Those are expected numbers. Keep it up!

That's a pretty darn good base line really. Be careful though....it's so addicting

Now stick a quality stall converter in there and dip down into the 12s. You will smile for a month I promise.

Good luck!

I'd say go with a Circle D Specialties 5C converter (it's a 3600ish stall with your set up). It will feel tight, but launch like a rocket and from a roll.....OMG!

I can already see the smile

Congrats on the times, not bad for an Auto w/o a stall and very minimal mods.
