Number 1 baby! I'm hoping for better numbers on Saturday with some track prep. These street tires don't like my 6 speed/torque.

Nope lol I had a full ice chest, a floor jack, full tank of gas, full weight interior, and a bunch of tools :-) wanted too see what the car would do fully loaded down and full interior, next time I'm gonna run a quarter tank of gas and take everything out that I usually have out and should be 300 lbs lighter, that with a new converter hopefully will put me in the mid 12's:-). Can't wait too se what its gonna do on a 200 shot

Whaaa? I was cutting 2.2's with a 6 speed... I had the same issue on drag radials back when the formy was Auto... You might be better off only stalling it to like 1100-1300 and rolling on the throttle.

Re: 2013 Nor-Cal 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
yea i think i was stallin waaaay too much and felt comfy at 1000 when i was testin it on the street i started in second the car spun and bogged pretty bad off the line but still got 94 mph on my last run so i kno it can hit mid 14s jus need a few minor detail things and should be rippin

Re: 2013 Nor-Cal 1/4 Mile Times - Get on the list!
^ Agreed. If you're doing 2.5's, you definitely want to back off that throttle on launch until you find the sweet spot. The list is about improvement as well, so even if you have a less than stellar 1/4, aim to beat it next time.

Hey Marc- How 'bout a more specific E/T?
