Default Took the 5.0 to the track today!!!

Well just got home from the track today. Didnt get much tunin done(couldn't get but 4 runs in)but here's what i got so you can tell me what ya think. BTW i have b cam, afr 165cc, typhoon intake, cai, 65 mm tb/spacer, 1.6 rockers, mac full tube headers, hpipe, mufflers, right rear airbag, control arms, 3.73 gears and et drags. I'm sure i left something out! Ok down to the point. My best time outta it was a 13.41 with a 60ft of 1.921. Now my suspension would drop in the back for a second and pop back upunloading the suspension and the tires were makin about 2 revolutions"spinnin" before it stuck solid."thats what my buddy said" . I'm sure my 60ft times will drop more which will help alot. Just curious to what ya'll think.

What was your trap speed? Those are great times for being up at altitude.

Well if i remember right if i get my 60ft down to a 1.6 or 1.7(which it should)that should put me around a 13.00 or so. Google the 1/4 mile elevation correction? Elevation sucks. I haven't even tuned this car at all besides tinkered with the timing very little.

Where are you racing at?
IMK, if you are at 4000', even without knowing the air density, I will say the you would be about 12.80's at sea level.........
