I am bringing this back a little bit just because im curious. Do you think me having bad cats would affect my times? Im sure my rims dont help either. I am throwing codes for bad cats.

Thanks!

Bad cats would definitely hinder power. Tires limit traction too and only having 235s on there is killin ya, I'm sure they aren't made for hard launches either. A set of DR's or even newer, wider tires would net you much lower 60 fts.

Well isn't a 2.0 a good time for normal tires? I didn't seem like I have traction issues. I cut a 2.1 60.

My first time at the track at track was worst than driving on the street. It was so damn slick I went silly when I slammed second and had to let out of it. I only got 2 runs in that night (only time I've race my car at the track) and it took 4 hours The second time I slipped the clutch out at 1500 rpm and I instantly hazed the tires. I ran like a 2.4 second 60' foot on 275/45/17's and I would have been happy with your 2.0 60'. I did trap 110.5 mph though.

2 runs but you still caught a better et. Seems like you would easily be in the 12s if you had cut a lower 60.
