Ran into some minor problems with my old school asp pulley we are working on fixing it right now. Had to move back the dyno date to wednesday. I will definately get some sounds clips when its finished and dyno sheets! The sound is something you cant explain. I'll be sure you post it up ASAP!

Not yet, I want to so bad, I just need some different tires, it will be pointless with my Nitto's I just want some drag radials for a night out, I have a buddy that will swap me wheels, he has 18" wheels with BFG Drag radials, they HOOK, just gotta get a date set! I will go full ET streets in the winter time, too hot to beat the car that bad right now. I am hoping, and should acheive, at least 117-118mph in the traps now, hopefully more in the winter, but will settle for 117mph. I ran 113.5mph in the heat, missing header bolt, header leak at the bolt hole area, nitto street tires and my OLD Comp cam, which I dynoed 30 rwhp less with and 20 rwtq less than my X3. So I should be able, just gotta go And I hate the cost now, $18 to race, and the track sucks Oh well, gotta do it though

It used to be that $10, then it went to $15, now $18, and they don't prep the track for ****, it's horrible. They can't pull the staging lanes for **** either, in the winter when it's busy, you are LUCKY to get 2-3 runs in on about 4 hours, totally ****!

We have another track that is a little better, but they are an hour or so away from where I live, and I save that track for special occasions, like cold weather, sticky tire nights

You think that's bad, you should go to Rt. 66. Cost you $45 or 50 for T&T.

Speaking of, I'll be there on the 29th, weather permitting.

**** here in Fayetteville, NC it is $8+$8. It is the only track I have ever ran on, but most say it is pretty good. I was hooking up pretty good on 19 in Continental Sport Contact2 tires after heating the hell out of them 12.7@112. Got some damned near new Nitto drags on C4 rims in the garage but they are 245/45-17. I think I will sell and get 18s for the track

Peel, What were your ET's with the 113.5mph. That doesn't tell me much cause I ran 114 & 115 on my car with a lid and a cat back but my best ET was 13.105 and my 60' was in the 1.98 range. I don't remember each time with each specific run but I was pretty consistently in that range though. My car ran good MPH I just couldn't get an good launch without spinning it was on 18" street tires Goodyear F1 Supercars they aren't that good for drag racing for sure. They were pretty good on the street though of couse I wasn't racing. Hah!

It was a 12.99 on my Nitto's with a 2.2 or 2.4 60', can't remember, spun like hell, damn slippery track

I ran a best 12.6@110mph before any cam on my stock motor, ET Streets and a 1.79 60' if I remember correctly.

The lower you go the harder it gets, especially with a M6. Do you have a stock rear? If so say good bye and arrange burial.
