Default 1/4 Mile Run =(

Well, my best time yesterday, with a 2.3 60 foot, was 13.45 at 106... I can tell with the HP, that I should be running 12's with better launches..

I had the spare tire still in, along with a little above half tank of gas... so we'll see next week once I get some slicks, and all of the weight reduction. =)

What tires are you running on?
Was the track prep Good?

Drag strips are considerably slicker than teh average road. My best friends 300+ hp Mustang Cobra with a set ofnitto's might chirp from a dead stop on a highway, but that's it. He can spin a little bit through first and chirp second on the drag strip. Keep that in mind when you drive there.

No sir, however, soon enough, I will be buying my own tuner and actually playing with settings a good bit. =)

Avoid the Waste guy on ClubGP for usedslicks. He lives about 40 miles from me and as soon as I said I would pick them up he went all hush hush on ClubGP.
