I will be at the track tonight and I will see how good she does on street tires and with my current mods. The wether is not helping either 78% humitity possibly highs in the 70's and light rain
. I will post up a vid and some more pics. Later.

Well I was at the track the other night and here is what I did
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p.../TRACKTIME.jpg
Also on the way to the track my check engine light came on just for future refference. Also it was a very bad night at the track light rain and very strong winds but I am very happy with my times with only 370 hp and on street tires (huge 20's). I have a vid on the 12.8 run if anyone wants to see it that is, I dont want to post it if no one is interested in seeing it. Also look at the time slips I did a 12.8 at 116mph and then turn around and do a 12.9 at only 108mph? Almost got under a 2 second 60ft. maybe when I get my MT Drags.

Your car is pulling HARD the 2nd 1/8 down the track, your 1/8 trap is like my NA, then you match my ST 1/4 trap! Were you spinning a lot on 1-2 or 2-3 shifts or shifting really easy? You need to make big improvements the first 1/8 to see good 1/4 times.

Yeah I could not get a good launch. I would spin out almost everytime also there was light rain and the wind was bad like 30mph. I have a vid if you want to see? I think my 1-2 shift is the worst but after that I shift dead on. what RPM should I launch at because that is where I was

? Why the hell is my contoller boosting at 13psi? I knew my gauge was not off. HHmm I think I am getting a very lean mix. Does anyone know of a good tuner in the area maybe in Houston.

On the first run you hit the brakes a split second before running through the traps!!!!! No wonder you trapped so low lmao, always stay WOT about 50 feet after the traps as well. Work on the shifts some-especially 1-2 and 2-3 and youwill be much better off. Practice makes perfect.....

Thats right I did brake. no wonder. I have not raced at the track in over 3 years I still have alot of track rust, Ohh well I am happy I finaly got into the 12's also what RPM should I launch at? I'm going with the 750cc injectors I just have to pick a brand and I am set is SARD any good? Still searching for a tuner in the area, some MT and I'll be shooting for low 11's, maybe a high 10! (I can dream can't I ).
