any guesses on my first times???

[Timmy]

I have never been to the track yet but will be there this saturday (weather permitting) I have a 96 3.8, 5spd, lt1 driveshaft, 24lb fuel injectors, headers, cold air, 212. 220. 512. 512. 115 ls cam, hi lift valve springs, titanium retainers, still open differential with 3.23's (but my posi and gears are in my garage) what do you think??? any chance i'll take top 5 in the N.A. timeslip list??

People can't really answer questions like this and usually don't try to.
A lot of it depends on how you drive your car...especially since its a 5spd....so just do your best and let us know how you do.

I know that this is going to be very high-balling, but I will say low 15's.... having an open differential and your mods, and that it is your first time at the track, you are going to spin and it's going to take you a while to get a handle on her. Especially if you are just using street tires.

P.S. If you end up hooking and driving well, then I completely retract my estimate. Good luck! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

I saw 16s...

j/k don't expect much at first, just get hte feel, and focus on the launch rest of the stuff is easy after that...

my advice is start out launching hard and lighten up from there, till you get the launch right but some say, take it easy and launch it harder and harder.

When i practice my launches on the street, I usually can get minimal wheel spin and hop at around 1500-1800 rpms. How much different is it going to be at the track. Im assuming that it'll be a lot more sticky there. should I try to launch a little higher?

Actually that's about right, for the stock converter. I see low 15's to high 14's if your car is tuned correctly and you have decent traction.
