Default Track

I took the mach to the track this friday and ran a 12.53 @ 114 I was hoping for lower times but thats the best i could get out of it. Im stilll new to the track. First run was a 13.9... for nervous reasons, lol. Second run was a 13.4 and 3rd was a 12.80 Last run was the 12.5. All my runs were against damn imports

12.5 isnt bad at all. How was your traction off the line. and do you have your 60ft and R/T?
get down to 12.0 and you got my best time beat

I think a cam swap is about $2k on those, but I'm not sure.

What is your point? I went from a 9.15 in the 1/8 to a my next run a of a 7.87. My first run was street tires with like a 2.5 60ft time and my second was with slicks and like a 1.75 60ft time. Also I can see how being nervous can cause you to not drive to your potential.

My point Hmmm (03 Mach1 305fhp & 320 TQ) with headers LT (they come with shorties) and ported heads (only 2 major mods). He would have to be pulling close to 350rwhps to get into that range. I'm sorry, I have a hard time to believe he got over 70 rwhps just from these mods. There is a UNIT213 with a 03 COBRA, 396rwhp in this forum that runs like 12.8's and he is experienced.
With that IRS and street tires good luck to make me swallow that.
