Default Track Time with my sts

it was my first time at the track w/o my drag radials and with the turbo so take it easy on me.

i ran a best of 12.8@116

and a best speed of 12.9@118

i know those trap speeds are great because they are like mid 11 traps...


here is the slip

60.....2.233
330...5.840
1/8...8.621
MPH..90.85
1000.10.945
1/4...12.876
MPH..116.87

got the m6 with some 295 toyo t1r's out back

i will take any help you guys have to offer....i know the 60' could be better could use some good ideas of what i should be launching at. anything i can do to get mid/low 12's will be great....if i cant o well i shall wait for the 9" and slicks.....o yea here is the video, because i know most like videos.

Not bad man.... I was running low 12's with 500+ at the rear wheels on some hard *** street BF Goodrich tires. ET's made the world of difference... keep playing with it!

Sticky tires + suspension + 12bolt/9inch = FTW!

Congrads, your mph is nice. how many PSI?

Mitch, depends on how much you want to do.
12bolt, 2-step, slicks or DR's and your 60 ft will be dramatically better and you will be in boost faster. If nothing else, DR's, but it will be hard on the 10 bolt.

is that silver dollar raceway?

DR's will help drastically. i saw a .2 drop at teh 60' line and .4-.5 off mt ET...but i still have a low 11second mph, so i still cant drive. nothing a lil seat time and a rear cant fix though.

meah.........its so so...get there at 6:45 and be ready to run at 7...you get a lot more runs in that way.

they dont really prep to well and at least 1 thing will break,burn,blow on the track each night making the staging lanes even more packed.

but other than that its 15$ and i got about 7 runs in..........there have been nights where i have gotten 1 run tho.....

going on the 6th if you want to meet me out there

Damn.. I got to work on the 6th(which I can change that easily) But I'm not 100% sure if I'll have my new fuel pump and such in by then. The car runs.. But pointless to go to the track when my fuel cuts out at 5k rpms. Got an aeromotive eliminator going in though. What's the schedule like at the track? When do you usually go?

Nice mph man, get some stickier tires on there, run it up and slip the clutch so you don't grenade it and build boost, and get in the 11's!

I'd get Mickey Thompson Drags on a 16" rim out back better yet 15" with a nice tall sidewall (They hook good). Get LCA's and Relocations. A 1.8 60ft would have you in the 11's, seat time will also help. How much power does the car make? Weight?

Mitch, I have a spring sitting on the shelf. Let me know if you need it. I'll even trade you for the one you have in the wastegate. You would just ship your back to me.
