Default went to the track!
Apparently it was bike week or something so I got two runs in over a span of 6 hours... it sucked.

My only good run was:

R/T: .247
60': 2.315
330: 6.047
1/8: 9.096
MPH: 81.20
1000: 11.700
1/4: 13.918
MPH: 102.61


Basically, I can't get the car to launch right, but it pulls like a ****.

The cheapest way to go would be to get some M/T radials in the 255 50 R16 size and mount them on stockers...They will help you get your 60' down...

How new? Brand new tires will still have the casting skin and oils on them and are slippery as hell for the first bit of miles you put on them.

Get that 60' down and watch the E/T plummet

I ran a 8.6 with a 1.9 60 foot. You need traction. My brother has a 93 m6 with cai, trick flow elbow, and magnaflow catback. He ran a 8.9 with a 2.0 60 foot on my drag radials. He could have done better.

I need a stall in mine badly.
