Back to the track soon...

Well the track opens back up tomorrow, and i want to get down there. Last season i pulled a 13.5 at 99. This time I got some slicks, and i am hoping i can get better traction. Anyone think I can get some better times? Thanks

honestly, i'd only expect about 1-2 tenths drop in et with the slicks. those are some stellar 60' times for street tires.

Those are real good 60' times for street tires so im assuming that they are the same diameter tires i would say 13.2's or 13.3's. You will probably trap the same if not a little bit lower with the slicks from my experience.

I highly doubt I will see 13.2's, unless i get some other mods. Maybe if everything goes PERFECT. Conditions/air, low tire pressure, little fuel, insane traction.

Not 2 bad

Well, it didnt go too bad. The best run of the day was a 13.471 at 100.54. The weather was around 56-60 degrees. Next time I go i am going to get an edge converter with a 2800 stall, and hopefully a zz9 cam. Thanks for all your responses. If you have any other comments speak up. Later...
