if i had a good Tune, slicks, good launch and shift i might be 12 low or 11 high, so i need to practice... but had a lot of fun there! my first 1/4 mile
Your shifts are REALLY slow, like daily driving slow, you need to work on being fast and smooth to avoid spinning on street tires on the 1-2. You can always shift fast and only go part throttle initialy in 2nd and then progressively go WOT. It also sounded like you short shifted into 2nd way too soon, couldnt tell clearly because of the music.
The good news is the first time for most is not good, you wont ever do that bad again...
You can have a passenger hold a camera? Not in *most* CA tracks. You ran a 14.4 and you believe you have a high 11s car? Hmm. . . I'd shoot for low 13s first. What was the vettes trap speed on that 11.9 run? I agree with Alberto, anything with more than 500rwhp and slicks shouldn't be running high 11s.

11.9 for a 750hp Vette is super $hitty as well...
yeah you are right, i must learn how to launch and shift better, but slicks will make better traction for launch. i shifted @ 6500rpm , and i think my bad is that on 1st i floor it @ 6500 so it was as hell to keep it straight. but thanks a lot for your advice.

yeah i agree, i thnk the vette with that whp must be around 10 mid or high, and yes over here @ El Salvador is permitted to take a passanger.. dunno what was the speed of vette, but mine @ the end was 115 mph.
Glad you had fun racing..thats what it's all about. BTW a 14.4 ET is more like 100mph. I know there are variables but a 115mph is more like high 11's to low 12's.

Keep racing..it's addicting
yeah, i have a friend in Lebanon that he makes 110mph and hes low 12's, and in 3 weeks Central Florida Turbo is coming to El Salvador and Tune my car
With a better tune and slicks you should run 11's.. With the vortech at 11psi you should run 11's without the nitrous.
First times are always the worst. Keep practicing man.
yeah, CFT (Central Florida Turbo) Tuner was in my country, and he said that with a good tune he can make 11 mid or high but with slicks, so need to wait 3 weeks for him to come back to El Salvador. i'll keep updating once i got tuned on dyno.
