Default Took my top swap Monte to the track tonight.

Went out to the local track tonight and got a couple passes in.

04 Monte
L36
93 Octane
Stock L67 heads no porting at all
Stock Gen 3 blower
Stock L67 injectors
Stock L67 Throttle body
Stock N/A fuel pump w/o rewire
Stock trans with a trans-go shift improver kit
3.6 pulley
Used NIC camshaft
Comp 105's
ZZP 3" non-catted downpipe
Street tires, didn't bother to air them down at all since the track is terrible tonight.
Pulled out the RF seat, rear seats and took out the LH headlamp housing
DHP Tuned by DBTK02

First pass with no cool down after an hour drive to the track
14.3501 at 98.43 (2.2590 60')
Second pass after a short cool down in staging
13.9640 at 98.42 (2.0562 60')

Then after a few more passes it went down hill from there, nothing broken or anything just the track was getting worse and temps getting colder.

Final pass of the night (pass #5)
14.23 at 98.47 (2.3160 60') at full weight (save for low tank of fuel)

How close were you to your anticipated ET? You're looking consistent considering track conditions changing (and no time to retune - or did you?). Keep it up, and have fun.

I didn't have a tuner with me or even a way to scan it at all. I don't even have a boost/vacuum gauge in the car haha.

The track isn't known for being a good track, its just relatively close to me and they don't question on Tech (that's besides the point)

I more or less just wanted to get some passes on it and get a rough idea on what it would run. I probably won't go back for a while until It gets more rubber down and if I decide to put an I/C on it along with headers.

I did forget to mention in the first post.. Its got stock front and rear manifolds.

Sounds like you had an awesome time, breaking into the 13's is great!

I use to go to UNOH awhile back. Is there still a lot of ricers over there?

I was surprised it went a 13.xx since the track was in such bad condition.

I had a computer class with you I'm about 80% sure.

Sounds like you had a good time even with bad conditions. Next time you go you should get some videos of your car there.

It wasn't a bad time. I don't have a Go-pro. I did have my DSLR with me but I just didn't put it in the car with the suction mount I have.

A friend of mine took one on his phone but I didn't get a chance to see it.
