wow these truly must be a bunch of kids.... true racing is done at the track..whether its dragging/road racing/drifting you name it... period... thats where variables can be decreased... its just science... (too many variables with roll racing, such as engine speed, weight from camera people.. the list goes on... and its obviously safer to run at the track )

I am jealous that you guys can run almost year round down there....every track within 500 miles is now closed for the season. We have to wait till march, and even then it is weather dependent.

Figured I would use this thread to post an update. I went back to the track that I set the record at yesterday to see how I would do on street tires. Im now tuned with osiris and gained 20hp from it. I also kept my passenger seat in for all the runs. My best run of the night was 13.3@105 with a 1.96 60'. So far thats my best 60 on street tires. I think I could have done a little better if I would have played with my tire pressure a little more. I'm planning on going back the 8th with my drag radials and my seat out. Hopefully I can do a little better.

You ran a 13.4(?) at opening day at Capital right? It was probably a little cooler last night too. Was it breaking the tires up when you hit 2nd?

13.393@105.27 with a 1.93 60'. That was on my drag radials. The run at cecil was 13.314@105.5. Traction was good every run. My tranny doesnt shift fast enough to do that lol.

sure did!! I might go again this weds the 8th rain is forcasted. I could barely break 101 that night but was running 13.5@100.

I already have a 3.5 FD in my G I wonder if the smaller wheels changed my FD.

My drs are MT streets on 16in mustang wheels. I think they are 26x11 or 10.5not sure I have to look.

I just checked my spark plugs and they all were gapped @38 instead of 44. I know when I was tuned at FT I had my old plugs in and my hp and tq was higher than my retune with the new plugs.

AJ what was your tq at FT mine was 230 the 1st time, after the retune for the 3in MAF it was lower. Even Dave asked what did I change I forgot that I changed the spark plugs and didn't check the gap.

The 26's will alter the the effective FD. The tire is something like 2.5% shorter than stock height. I didn't know you had a 3.5 in your car.....

I swapped from 3.3 to 3.5 yrs ago before anyone thought about a 3.7 or 3.9. A 3.7 would be nice for my car.
