Default First time at the track

Tonight was my first time a the track. I have been eager to know what my times are...
I ran a total of 4 passes here at Irwindale (1/8 mile) best time was 9.2 at 77 with a 2.224 60ft. Is that good or is thar ok? All i have is UDP, o/r h-pipe, and CAI. Overall it was cool

Actually that is a pretty good time for a basically stock 94 GT. If you get that 60' down to a sub 2.1 or so than you could probably hit a 9.0, which is great for your car.

That car should have a 1.9 60' in it which should be good for a dip into the 8's.
Getting their will take some practice though. (More than 4 runs).

I really don't launch it. I kinda take let off easy and then give it some gas.

60's are killing me aswell. But then 9.2 in the 1/8th isnt bad at all for the car. My buddy went 14.9 on a pretty solid run in a 95. Their just not very fast cars from the factory, but once you start modding them it comes alot cheaper than a mod motor.

+1 im gonna attempt to build a 500+hp N/a motor, and i think ill be able to get therewith a decent amount of work, but the stock block is really limiting me with only holding like 660hp before you have to worry about splitting.
