maybe. i went 14.3 at 98 with a 2.3 60" then 14.1 at 97 with a 2.17 60"

i know its all about 60 foots but i dont think he would have picked up that much. with a 2.0X 60 tho i could deff see 13.9

yea next week ill hopefully have low 13's after my 1.8 rr's, 3.4 pulley, and my tune! i really gotta work on the launch though

yea i know it needs to be lowered, the bullitts always make them look like that. the rims are 17's, tires are sumitomo htr-z's. i think when i take it to the track next time im gonna put the stockers on. i had the fronts at 27...

Like I said, it's possible. Usually I pick up .2 in the quarter for every .1 I drop off my 60'. Every run is different and you don't always see those results if something else happens later on in the run. Like I said, it's just a general rule of thumb everything else being equal.

so whats the optimal psi? i heard slicks should be run really low. i didnt really know where to run the street tires at... i ran at the track before in my other gtp i used to have. ran a 14.2 best pass with a 2.1 60'. I. i cant wait til next time though. only thing thats pissin me off is the check engine light thats on now... cars driving fine though

true. and thats how i see it, it just dident work out for me like that. i guess in a perfect senero.


and i wouldent air down street tires all that much. to much and its a rolling resistance then. i cut 2.1 60 on SLICK street tires with no burn out (and slick street tires suck on the track) with about 32 psi.

might wanna try changing your launch.

track prep has alot to do with it also tho. it all depends.

yea doesnt help that you are forced to drive through the water box at atco as well which sucks...

ha you cant go around??? thats retarted.

Yeah I would tell them to move out of the way...you pay to get in and you should be able to run how you want. I got into it with the guy at the staging lanes b/c he wouldn't move the service truck so I could drive around it...he ended up moving though

i would be an asshat and drag water EVERYWHERE

yea it sucks the water box is literally right there and its the only way onto the track. unless you wanna bowl through a cement wall of course.

I have faith in you Jeff, next week you got it ;p

That has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Who would design it that way? I'm sure the guys with slicks just love running after street tire cars.
