**DADillac** · 11-12-2006, 05:12 PM

raced today for the first time in this car. was about 40* outside.

i ran consistent 13.0@107 with 1.9-2.0 60fts, the guy i got it from said he ran a 12.8 on street tires before. i dont think i know how to launch right in the auto. im used to manual trans cars.

98 Camaro Ls1- slp lid, k&n filter, pace setter longtubes, ory pipe, slp LM1 cat back, full tune from speed inc., 2000rpm stall converter, "built" 4l60e, 3:73 gears, nitto 315 drag radials.

I would think it would be capable of mid to high 12's. Just practice more. I bet once you get your launch down you will be pleased.

hmmm, how hot are you getting the dr's? maybe try getting them hotter and playing with the psi......

Are you getting a lot of tire spin?

**DADillac** · 11-13-2006, 08:07 AM

I run with a 3500 stalled a4...it just takes time man....I run with street tires and have a ton of torque so it took me a while to figure it all out.

U just gotta keep running it when the track is good and get a good baseline launch (dont push it....just get it to go without breaking traction), then keep trying it as long as the track conditions stay good, and give it a little more everytime out of the whole until u have the feel of where ur car is gonna break traction. Every car is gonna be a little different, tires, power, and stall, so its really just the experiance of u with ur car.

Keep it up man, ull do better with time
