Default First time! Don't laugh.. too hard lol

Hey, I just got back from the track! What an f'ing BLLLLAAAAAAST!!!! Tell me what ya think, I know its not the fastest...

R/T ---- .238
60' -----2.390
330 -----6.533
1/8 ---- 9.878
MPH ----73.50
990 ---- 12.762
1/4 ---- 15.224
MPH ---- 90.93

Heres the question, is that 60' time what I should expect??? I still have a LS with 2.73's. I think I was peg legging a little. What do you's think???? Thanx for your time and opinions

LOL!!!! You reminded me of a buddy of mine. I just dont wanna be screaming the motor out down the highway. I guess its worth a try, better to over do it then want more later. Let me know your thoughts if anyone can add anything to the pot. Thanx!

That mph is good for a high 14. A little practice launching and getting better 60ft will get you much better 1/4 times.

Times look good for a first time, tall gears and a C4. High 14's are easily obtainable, 3.73's should work well with what you have.

not bad times.

with the c4 u really need to upgrade to 3.73's or something around there

ive ran 15's at almost 100 mph before... the launch is the key to a good time

important thing is you had fun and now you're addicted.

my car has over 170,000 miles and i race it every week. ive been getting faster each week. im hooked
