Took the 'balt to the track

and it was really HOT! 90 degrees! I bet that really killed my potential times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxO8E2be-JE

that was my best run of the day, and because of a bad launch i get to say that i beat a GTO! It was auto and a 5.7L.

best trap speed was a 101.84, best 60ft was 2.208 in that vid.

my mods are intake, exhaust, a crappy header, stage2, and an ingalls damper.

at sea level in cold temps some people are seeing low 14's stock, but being 90 degrees out, humid, and 2500 feet above sea level, it made my car run like crap. Hoping for mid to high 13's next time.

no plans for slicks, the stock axels are very weak and will break if i run those and don't upgrade them first.

Damn, that GTO driver needs to learn to launch. And that right there is a prime is example of why the wrong person in the right car can really make a vehicle look bad. That guy has an easy 13 sec car on his hand, but has no idea how to drive it.
