Default How are my track times?

13.8@100.31 with a 97 Firebird Formula A4.

The only mods done to it are:

Lingenfelter CAI
160* thermostat
Random Tech cat back system
PCM tuned by madz28.com
LT4 Knock Module
No traction, bald tires!!!!!!!

I hope my headers and cutout will bring me to at least to a 13.5-6, and drag radials and a torque converter around 13.1-12.9. Any comments on my E/T and trap speed, normal, slow, fast for it's modding?

How is it there? When I get back I wanna try and run my car there. How much is it for all day racing, do they have limited openings i.e. pro drag racing that day etc., when are they open for open racing?

High 12's would be sweet. My problems are the dead spots in the A4 and the bad tires. Some sticky tires and a 3200-3600 stall would most likely bring me in the high 12's low low 13's

I wish I could go, but I'm still stuck in IL getting my transmission replaced. I'm gonna wait a couple weeks to break it in though, since it's new, gonna take it easy just for a little bit to be safe. I'm picking it up monday, should be leaving by the end of NEXT week.

Thats not bad at all. I went 14.1@108 2.5 60' best. 100% humidity, crappy driver And it was 85* out, track sucked pretty bad.

Your not running too bad for the mph, you mihgt be able to get another 10th or 2 outta it depending on the weight etc.

Not too bad. That is the same time that the new Mustangs are running. Get that converter and a new set of tires and you should have no problem disposing of them.
