Well it was my first time running the car at the track... I must say it was a blast! But what do you guys think about the lo3 power ( yea right! )

I think it needs a good tune - its 91RS 305tbi/auto. open element/flowmaster muffler/stage 1 chip(gotta get rid of that chip)3.42gears/lca/phb and thats all. So what do you all think, slow as dirt - yes?

Sounds like someone else is hooked on drag racing 
Like I always tell people. I bracket race and I admit watching a bracket race from the stands is boring. Even I don't want to watch two 12 second cars going down the track. But even if you have a 14 second car, it's a totally different story when you're behind the wheel.

I thought it was a little on the slow side.....but i guess it's a starting point huh? I'm pretty sure a custom tune would help out quite a bit. I don't know how much it matters, but my car wouldn't cool down, it was at 215-220 degrees the whole time? I drove it done there (30min drive) and let it sit for awhile....but I was thinking when I burned a new chip, I'll have the fan turn on sooner. I have a 170stat but it isn't doing much good because my fan doesn't turn on until 225ish.
