RE: Went to HRP again still disapponted
Actually, I just went to the track last night myself (I'll be posting that in a little while 
) Just curius to what RPM you are launching at? I was talking to with another 06' GT owner (Stock as well), and he had 3 runs, 1st run he launched at 1500 and got 14.5, next he tried 1800 and got 14.3, His last race he launched at 2000 and got a 13.9. so launching at higher RPM is key.

What rpm are you launching at? I've heard 2500 is good.

RE: Went to HRP again still disapponted
I know R/T doesn't affect E/T but I also want to get my R/T below .100
I only managed to launch at about 1800
I was carfully reving the engine to a planed 2400 then I saw the ambers start droping and went on the third amber and didn't get it to 2400
I want to break 14.0 so that I'll have to wear a helmet
I want to get to an E/T of at lest 13.9 and an R/T of .099 before moding
there was a maunul that the best he's done is 14.0 and he had a CAI and cat back
the track is HRP(Houston Raceway Park) so its close to sea level
