Default 2012 5.0's first time to the track

First time to the track with the new 5.0, had wheel hop isues most of the night and bad 60's. keep pulling to far out of the water box, eventually opened the door up to put her in the sweet spot, by that time it was the last run and I babied it off the line (bass akwards, should have babied it when I had the crappy burn outs & launched hard this time) for my second best time out of 4 runs. All in all my first run was the best with pic below. Gonna try the street tire's 1 mo' time, then...

if those figures on the top left are the weather info and actual track elevatoin, you are looking at 2483 DA. for a corrected time of 12.2@117mph. Just can't say i've been impressed with any 1/4 mile time ive seen from people with the Lund tunes.. I wonder if they are milder than other tuners? although the trap is still pretty good. it's about what people with tune+drag radials have been getting, i'd expect a bit more from or/x and cai.

also, we have a street and strip section for drag racing discusions

the disclaimer is ofcourse I realize a DA corrected time isn't exact, but i think the ball park appears about right everytime ive run the calculator. give or take .1/1mph - .2/2mph depending on amount of correction.
