first time at track well its going to be my first time going to the track, i have a stock 1999 z28, with a flowmaster 80 series, 6 speed 121k miles. what time at the 1/4 should i expect, also i have all season tires, is it worth going to the local speed shop and purchasing 2 street tires for the rear for traction. im hoping to get into the 13's and hopefully low 13's. any opinions?

6000/6100 rpm on the tach, but in reality it'll only be around 58-5900, the factory does this on purpose so not to over rev. the engine, you will also find that if you exsperiment on shift points, say start out shifting at 5600 in each gear, then 5800, then 6000, the car will go faster & faster, there is a limit of coarse, either you'll hit the limiter, or the car will slow down, on my bolt-on LT1, it runs the best at 6000/6100 shift points, it'll pick up 2-3 tenths from shifting at 55-5600.
