Default Back from the track...

Well not as good as I had hoped, but still decent I guess for my first time. Traction was a problem, couldn't really launch above 2000rpms. So that hurt a bit, plus I am still running the 87 octane tune, as thats whats in my tank.

Best run of the night was;

RT: .561
60': 2.155
1/4:13.501
MPH: 105.86

Worst run I missed 2nd and 3rd. Through ticket away, but know I ran a 15.3 after giving up half way down the track.
Oh well, nect time should be better.

Yeah more practice youll be there; your even doing better than that guy with the supercharged roush we were telling you about. You should of seen me race that car at the end, lol, i had like 14 car lengths on him, and that was with his 4 second head start.

Do you remember that other guys user name? the one with the black auto, I wanna shoot him some questions.

Not sure what you were hopin for, but those tims all seem pretty good. if ur on stock tires a 2.1 isnt bad for 60', and I believe those trap speeds are pretty consistent with a mid 13 (aka, desent traction on that run, can anyone else affirm this?) anyway, good times. I wish I could hit a mid 13 N/A..... friggin 3-valves [8D]

I would spin if I launched at anything over 2k. The 13.5 run I had a little chirp in 1st. then it was smooth sailin. I launched at like 1500 rpms though. There was another five-speed there with nittos and a few extra mods, hittin 13-13.2 consistent. Its awesome to know what these cars are capable of NA.
