Default Track Results Finally!

I finally got the car out to the track last night. I didn't run what i wanted it to but I think it did ok. I have a pretty crappy tire/gear combo....275/60s with a 3.42 so thats deff eating up some ET. Well it ended up making a best pass of 12.75 @ 106 with a 1.77 60'. I know theres more in it but not bad for the shake down pass. Oh and the car has LT's, TD's, SLP lid, EWP, Qa1 R series fronts, drag shocks in the rear, prostars and....a 2860 race weight.

Thats great time for quite a stock car. Not even a cam swap.

Keep up the hard work, it always pays off.

Not to bad, but with a stock cam why the huge tall..The lts'1 are known for their buttom end.. It's seems like a stall change would help you out by using the lower end.. I could be way wrong..

Yea deff man. Its quite diff driving the car with the RMVB takes some getting used to to say the least. Hopefully with some 4.10s and some seat time i can get it down in the 12.3x range.

Default great times

wow that bird is on quite a diet, do you do much street driving with it or is it mostly just a track car? In any case, nice 60', and nice job breaking 12s with a bolt-on setup.

Yes yes it is...its pretty bare bones to say the least. As soon as i get the tag/registration taken care of its going to be my dd/track car I deff didnt expect it to cut a 1.77 first pass...but I'm happy with it

It should run WAY better once i get the 26" tires on it, tune the suspension a bit and get some more seat time.

I'm gonna throw the 26's on it because i still have the stock 10 bolt and Im borrowing the tires I just wanna see what it'll run with a shorter tire. I plan on going to a 3.73 or a 4.10 some day and keeping the 28's.

in order to keep the 28s youll need to go with a 4.30 or higher. you can trap at 126 on 28s with 4.30s
