Default first time at the track

well i finally made it to the track for the first time ever. i kept up with getting better times each i went and on my 3rd and final time i got,
r/t .533
60' 2.0
1/4 13.78
mph 99.87

i guess thats not bad for a heavy *** vert, but i def need to get my gears in and shift kit.

Thats good for a TA vert with intake and exhaust. I think you'll find that those gears will help you a lot
