    ZR1Vette ran a 14.7 @ 96 or something like that back when his car was bone stock.

    Long since gone...but yeah...he clocked off a few low 15's passes spinning of course.

    Lower tire pressure, remove headlight, take all the junk out of the trunk/car...1/4 tank of gas or less...running 93~ as long as you're knock free now...toss a gallon of race gas in there if you got some knock.

    Thanks man. It will be fun regardless, but I just wanna go make a few runs and hopefully not be the slowest car there lol. Hoping for some dick in a v6 mustang or camaro/firebird.

    Car is noticeably quicker after the shift kit and overkill PCM which I did not expect at all.

    As far as fuel goes I'll keep it around 1/4 and add the 110 they have there. Usually I add 50% race fuel if I'm at the track unless its below 60* so about 2 gallons of 110 to 4 gallons 93.

    I'll be there on my awesome brand new 70,000 mile all seasons lol, but I'll drop the pressure a bit. Usually to 25-30 I'm guessing?

    Not really worth it to add race gas if the car doesn't knock...that's what I was getting at.

    Get a way to scan the thing...if you don't have more than a degree at the top of the shift, then I wouldn't add more than a gallon anyways. It won't HELP you if you don't knock.

    I'd also say stick to around 25~ or a little more.

    No burnouts...street tires don't need it. Just drive AROUND the water box. Don't chirp the tires to "clean" them either...that just puts strain on the input shafts.
