First Trip to the Strip with the 3.0

Went to 75&80 drag strip tonight. Here is the time slip for my first run. I know its slow with bad reaction time. This was my first time.

The fourth time is a charm. Can't wait for the new exhaust.

I was gonna say the same thing. I got a 15.8 and all I have is a cheezy short ram CAI. I am going to upgrade to a better CAI and then add my mods, I want 14's before going NOS like rick!

Congrats on the times, ands keep having fun at the strip. Meet with us anytime or we'll ridse up I-270 with you one Friday night.

It must have been in the high 70s to low 80s with high humidity! That's what I experienced at Capitol Raceway (I imagine 75&80 had the same conditions).

Dustbuster is correct...warm humid evening. Was hoping to run a little quicker. But considering the first run was 16.4, I was happy to make to 15.8.

It would be cool to roll with you guys.
