Friday Night at E-Town
Well, I finally got a chance to get her down to the track last friday night. On my first run I gave a little to much gas coming off the line :
1st run
60' : 2.4
1/4 : 13.812
spd : 105
2nd run
60' : 2.3
1/4 : 13.54
spd : 106
3rd run after I iced both blower and intake manifold
60' : 2.3
1/4 : 13.32
spd : 107
I could not seem to get my 60' under a 2.3. on the last run I was able to keep my tires on the ground in second due to them being heated a little longer during my burnout. I am going again this wednesday coming up. I hope to have my slicks on to get my 60' down and get her down to a 13 flat.

Get a 2.1 60' and you will have 12 second pass. Every .1 of a second off you 60' is .2 off you E.T. If the weather hits low 70's tonight ill be going to Atco.

holy crap! that suucks! Is the guy in the firebird going to pay for some of it, or is it all on your friend? Good thing it wasn't you. I'd hate to see your car get hurt

Aftermarket turbos and superchargers are required to wear fireproof jackets. At atco they let you run what you drove there. No questions asked. Now if you trailer something in, its different. Then the tech inspecter might rip the car apart.

Those are impressive numbers man. Those are the kind of numbers I'm hoping for after I start the serious mods on my car. Good luck, and keep up the good work.

The track is supposed to have the best numbers in all. Due to closest to sea level.

BFG DRs or the Nitto 555 DRs would be a major improvement for you......the MT ET Street DRs would be a MAJOR improvement. I use them on my LX and they are unbelievable.
