<--waits for this fool to start complaining about weather and DA. If it was so bad why did you even run that day? 
OP-not bad for your first time out. Some suggestions...
*Take notes! Keep a log of your launch rpm, shift points, tire pressure, and comments on how that run went. This way you know what works and what doesnt.
*Lower tire pressure. On stockers I lowered to 27psi and they hooked mid 2.0's on my 2nd and 3rd run ever.
*Shift at redline every gear
*Run with 1/4 tank of gas
*Get rid of the AEM, it makes you slower than stock even though it sounds faster.
*Practice, again and again you will get it  |
Notes of the rpm is a good idea, I don’t really remember which was best for me, I am thinking around 2500 but not 100% sure
To be honest I went to the track last min, just planed that day after work. I didn’t check or have a tire pressure gauge with me. My friend was rushing me to leave.
As far as I remember I was at red line, if not I was within 200 rpm of the red on the gauge. I have never hit the rev limiter so I am not 100% sure how far I can take it.
I filled the tank to 1/2 20 min from the track, I wasn’t sure how much gas I would use while at the track and didn’t want to run out on the way back. I now know that I could prob get away with between 1/4 and 1/2 of gas.
AEM is no good? I know the engine has to work a little harder to suck the air up but it is colder and the pipe should be less restrictive.
To be honest I went to the track this time just for fun, I wanted to get the best time I could but didn’t really put in the attention needed to get a really good time. Now that I’ve got the first run out of my system I can put in some more attention next time.
side note, i am a big guy i weigh 270 pounds, so thats not helping my times
Thanks for everyone’s comments
