The day has finally come. Blower, Traction, and a Test and tune night at zMax (Lows Motor Speedway).

Will be running the stang this coming Wednesday. Any of u track guys got any advice? I am going to change my rear end fluid before then I think.... and oil of course. Everything else should be pretty on point maintenance wise.

Second, whats safe tranny wise? I have stock clutch and everything (plus nitto Dr's) I am not trying to set world record, but I want to do a moderate launch.

Because if things go as planned....


Defcon we are lineing up Wednesday!!! You better get that z06 ready! Im comming for you

as far as track prep, i would start by slipping the clutch at 1500-2000 and then go from there.

I get outta class at 12 so i should be able to make it.

-Nice little smokey burnout
-Try launching around 3000-3500 to begin with...don't dump the clutch, slip it
-And I'd say powershift but you have the stock shifter which I don't recommend you powershift with
-Drop the PSI to 17 and go from there

Powershift with the stock shifter, I dont see a problem with that. Just make sure youre comfortable with doing so. If youre going to get a couple runs in, dont do it on the first couple because your nerves will get the best of you and might screw some things up. Once you get comfortable, then powershift the fugger.

And for your drag radials...id leave the pressure above 20psi personally. If they were a ripple wall slick I'd say drop it to like 15 but its a street radial tire and the nitto's dont have that much sidewall give. Its up to you though.

I run my Nittos at 17psi and have not had any problems.

power shifting is leaving your foot on the gas? I mean I can shift pretty good the regular way... I dont know how "lucky" I am feeling at the track w/ a stock tranny&clutch haha

Powershifting is not lifting your foot. Speedshifting is the opposite. I personally wouldn't powershift the stock shifter because they suck and the chances of missing a gear is much better than with an aftermarket, especially the 2-3 shift.

But if you're a pro driver like Tj then you should powershift with the stock shifter.
