Pics are a must...
here are a few. we dropped the car off during a dyno day. THere were a few ridiculous cars there..
No, not yet, I keep planning on it but then it doesn't work out. I think I'm going to wait for the weather to cool down a little before I go. Hopefully my tires won't be gone by then.
So I finally got out to GLD tonight, had to before my tires were completely gone.
Overall I couldn't really hook well, but with gentle launches and some spin in 2nd I managed to stay below 2.0 60', which is still very bad, but I saw a stock 5.0 pull a 13.6 with a 2.6 60' (may have been his worst time of the night, only saw that one). I ran a 2.0 with an intake and mickeys in hot weather last time I was out there...
I started at 19 psi and worked my way down to 17. All runs were back to back, with the first one being the best ET and the last the best MPH.
best et: -- grind into 2nd, and some issues with 3rd.
60' 1.926
330' 5.438
1/8 8.241 at 90.87
1000' 10.641
1/4 12.628 at 114.30mph
best mph:
60' 2.057
330' 5.590
1/8 8.349 at 92.22mph
1/4 12.720 at 116.45
Next spring I will be getting some CHE tq limiters to fix my shifting issues, LCA with brackets to help traction. Then a couple weeks before September a fresh pair of mickeys. I started too early with this pair and they're pretty much gone, barely any tread left.
I was hoping to start off with low 12s, but it could have been worse...

Thats not bad at all! A little more work and some stickier tires with a little larger size wall and you should have that thing in the low 12s high 11s very soon. The torque limiting brace will certainly help you with your shifts and getting the car into gear. With the added power, sometimes this is certainly an issue!
I'm happy with he traps, but not the ETs. At least there is potential. Next year I'm thinkng P305/45R18 ET streets II. I will probably be seeing you guys next spring 
. I'm putting the car in storage at the end of this month, so I'm done for now.

That is probably a good idea. that way I can keep them stored and and throw them on for the strip, and keep steet tires on the car the rest of the time and not care that cold weather is coming in over night. thanks!
Exactly! And then you can save some more money and get the skinnys as well! Time to get serious
