I know I want my 11sec slip. I was cutting 1.62 60's and trapping at 115 & 116. Not sure what else I need to do. I still have the stock shifter in there, guess that would help. I just have a short stick

Man i know it was slow but i sure miss the 91 i had. That car with the 700r in it had the most noticeable f-body shake in town. Old people would pull up beside me at lights and ask if something broke when the car twisted.

Not sure where ^ came from

Chris, you need to raise your limiter to atleast 6500rpm's. That cam is making power past the stock limiter for sure.

Are you gettin tunnel vision when your on the track Chris? I know nerves will get you til you calm down. I noticed your shifting got better with more passes. Still needed some work, but much better than the first couple.

ehh, maybe its just me. That was my first time out on all that new suspension stuff and the slicks. I am not quite used to getting jolted around like that on a launch. Pretty damn fun tho. What psi do yall run in the fronts?

Honestly I dont remember much. Lots of adrenaline from the launch. I couldnt even guarantee you I was even shifting exactly where I needed to be shifting. Trying to do everything perfect I guess, just messes me up more probably

Once you get more seat time and feel the car out you'll be nailing it man. I run about 35-38psi in my fronts.

Another thing about a stick is when you want to hit the gear real bad and concentrate on that you normally miss the shift. You get so worked up wanting it that you dont pay attention to what your doing. At least thats how it always happened with me until i just said f$#k it and just started slamming them. If you cant find it grind it. lol
