RE: First Time at Track
Man, Im so glad I didnt buy a 94-98 model. I knew they were slow... but man. If a 14.9 is a respectable time for it with mods then I feel as if I own a bolt of lightning! LOL
No pun intended Razor... Just an opinion.

RE: First Time at Track
I was happy with the 14.9 for my first time. I just wanted to break into the 14's my first time at the track. If I can drop my 60' times some I might be able to get right around the 14.5 area IDK. Anybody with a 96-98 GT know at what rpm's I should shift for the best times. Also right before I'm about to get to the end of the track I'm almost redlining, should I switch to 4th before I hit the end or should I just let keep it in 3rd? Yes firebird is at 1243 feet above sealevel. Hope I can make it back out to the track again sometime in September.

RE: First Time at Track
hey razor, good job buddy. you had a very good first nite at the track it seems. You should definitely shift to 4th at the end. I have only ran once, which was a few weeks ago, and i couldn't break 14.1s. I thought 3rd was still in the meat of the powerband. I started shifting into 4th right before the end and managed to slip into the 13.9s. My starts were very sloppy w/ 1st and 2nd slippage and 60 fts of 2.2s. My next "mod" is drag radials. You would be mid 14s easily if u got the drs.
Later, Nick
