My first time ever at the track. The car overpowered the track no matter what i did. The light were terrible, 60ft sucked, times werent on par but the mph is there for some nice runs. I didnt build my car for the track so I guess all is well. My times are on the left.

nitto drag radials, adj upper, stock saleen suspension gotta get some lower control arms for sure. I no the problem is the traction or else i would have some decent times but it will be along time before I take it back to the track anyway.

Why a long time? Get some LCAs if you were spinning out of the hole, drop the pressure in the nitto's and go have fun.

I was running 15psi I was spinning all of first and second and I forgot to turn the air conditioning off on that 12.2 run. Its a street car I didnt build it for the track.

I didnt build mine for the track either. :beerdrink: Doing the 1320 is just fun though. It really shouldnt take to much to get it to hook. Just sayin...
*edit* You can get it to hook and still have a great street car

dang I would have thought better than that with the mph. Some guys were almost in the 9s runninh high 120s.

maybe so, but not at the weight our cars sit. you may have more in it then that, but I think that 11.3-11.4 is a real number

With me in my car it's got to be damn near 4000 lbs. Best I've done is 11.342 @ 123mph. That's with the edelbrock at around 11psi of boost and cutting a 1.62 60'.

Get it to hook up good and you'll do alot better. I had to put some CHE anti-squat brackets in to get my 60' more consistant and in the lower 1.6's.
