Default Ran a 13.7

Kind of disapointed but I guess I couldnt ask for much better. Im running 20's with nitto 555's Not a good choice for the track. My time was 13.7 @ 106 mph. I guess it gives me something to shoot for. This was out of the box with no tune.

Not bad really--get some slicks and maybe some 18's up front. I'm curious what your 60' was like. Was the sac track really busy tonight?

I think with a little more practice you will do much better. But keep up the good work and get some smaller wheels on the car next time. I think thats what is killing my ET as well.

Not bad, I thought it would be packed. Ok dont know what I was think but I just looked at the slip. I ran a 13.70 @ 106mph. Reaction was .115 2.173 5.995 9.024

that is an awesome reaction time! but yeah, go out there more often and practice. But the Sac track is a little on the slippery side. Hard to catch traction there.

get her tuned and get the 60ft down to 2.0 and you'll run a 13 flat high 12

Your 60ft isnt that bad, and with that mph you can pull better times. I think what you need to work on is your shifting. Im n/a and with a .1 slower 60ft I went 13.5 @ 106-work on your shifting and you will be much better off

You must have the strongest Z out there . Or have taken off ever ounce you possibly could off that car . Most Vortech SC cars are running that 13...to...13.5 . ....105 to 108 mph . The best I could muster...with a trq converter...350whp on a mustang dyno....with drag radials.....is.....1.98..60ft...12.98..@ 108

not really, i haven't ran 1/4 mile yet, but in the 8th mile BEFORE i went F/I, i was running a 2.0 60 ft and 8.9 with a trap speed of 79. i hope to be in the 12's at a 1/4 mile track when i get to go to one, maybe even 7's at the 8th mile

your 20" are killing you

you cannot imagine how much of a difference this makes. 20" must have like 30-50% greater moment of inertia than a 18". It's like if you would be running on ~40lbs 18".

Yeah. If you're tracking your car, you definitely need smaller wheels & some good racing tires. Either 17" or 18" depending on your brake application. I personally have 20's myself & I wouldn't track them unless it's just to mess around to see what time you can get but I wouldn't expect much. If you're serious about getting good numbers, swap out your wheels/tires during track.

My car isnt "stripped", I just took out the jack/spare to run, and went with low gas. I didnt take out the passenger seat, put in a light weight battery, take out any interior panels etc...I "only" put down 262 whp and I can extract every bit out of the car-well minus my crappy launch on slicks-1.95 60ft The car with 1/2 tank of gas without me in it weighs 3280. I only have 2 passes on them-one gave me the 13.13 another 13.16 to follow. With a 1.7 60ft-which is very well atainable on slicks Id be 12.80's easy BTW my Z dyno'd 238-242 stock on a dynojet, so it falls in the average to slightly strong range, Ive seen plenty of dynojets dynos with stronger numbers stock. I want to run a Vortech s/c Z here in MD, shouldnt be hard cuz there are a lot of them....
