Perfect day out today. Too bad it was super busy and I only got two runs in. Car #201 13.02 @ 107.35 with stock gears and tires with mods in my sig....So close to 12's it's pissing me off.

What did you run with just a CAI and tune?

I never ran it with only the CAI and tuner, but did with the tuner, CAI, h pipe and Mac's and ran a best of 13.208. The UDP's shaved some more time off and I know I can hit 12's since my 60ft was a mediocre 2.04

Man, that's some impressive driving on your part. Only difference between your car and mine is that I have long tube headers and a Brenspeed 91 tune and you still have almost a full mph on me. What octane tune are you running? I may have to try one of those Bamachip tunes.

I had to let it sink in a bit before responding. GREAT R/T's and i am blown away with your 8.4's in the 1/8th. We have very closely matched cars. I have a good bit not mentioned in my sig. But I could not controll wheel spin. I looked like a mosquito truck leaving the line. How are you hooking with the streets like this? Some people have all the luck!

Well hopefully once I get my 4.10s and JLT in with a SCT tune by Fred I should expect high 12s especially with a 93 tune I'll get to use when I go back home.

Try free speed tricks like dumping the spare tire, lower tire pressure, racing on a near empty tank.

I actually did dump the spare today for the first time. My previous best was a 13.06, so it may have been that or just coincidence. I unfortunately only got two runs in today because it was so busy but I'll have many more passes this Wednesday when its not as busy.

FWIW, while at the track I always run the rear tires at 22-24psi's and pump the fronts up to 50psi's. I started at a 1/4 tank thinking I would get more runs in (needing more gas) so being that I only got the two in, my gas gauge wasn't exactly where I wanted it to be lol. All excellent points though....

I've been thinking about the 4.10's also but I'm sure DR's will be necessary then to hook up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure my POS 235's won't hold up well with 4.10's
