Default first time at the track... satisfied

just got back from the sacramento race track and fortunately came back pleased!
1997 firebird formula a4.. moroso cai, slp loudmouth 2, energy tranny mount, throttle body bypass, zr1 rims 245 front,275 out back on falkan 452 (~29-30)
I had pretty similar runs, with all of my 60' at 2.1x...
reaction: .380
I1: 2.103
I2: 5.832
I3:8.913@80.2

E.T.: 13.823 @ 100.248
i guess it is time to go and buy some headers and maybe some gears.

How much does your car weigh? I have 4.10's and I cant get my car to hook on street tires at the track and my 8th time was 9.39@79mph.

Get some drag radials and cut that 60' time. For every tenth off your 60, is 2/10th off your 1/4.(just about). Then, get a higher stall and gear. Good luck.

i dont know exactly how much it weighs, but i suspect it is about as light as these cars can possibly be with no weight reduction. thanks for the positive comments guys, and ya a stall would be very nice!

thought i would update you guys with a video of me racing a 03 cobra (with same mods as above but i had a slight misfire due to messed up plug wire) the cobra was obviously the faster car, but i threw up a good fight for being a damn near stock LT1 autotragic

ya i know that lt's and gears would make a world of difference. what i am thinking about doing now since the post is: LT, ORY, 75 shot (prolly end up being a 100), and a nice tune. do you think that gears + nitrous + street tires = no traction??
