What should I expect?

[RadRacer]

Heading to the track tonight, and am just wondering what you guys think I'll run. I ran a 15.124 with DRs, an intake, and ~100lbs of stereo; I've since done full bolts-ons, a cam, and removed the stereo. I'm running street tires though, so I know I won't get a good 60', but I have a new(er) clutch and am hoping I can slip it abit to get a decent launch.


Mods:
Moroso CAI
3" exhaust
Pacesetter headers
Aluminum drive shaft
Z-28 rear w/3.73s
Short throw shifter
GT2 cam

I'm in FL, so track elevation is very close to 0, only thing I see hurting me weatherwise is heat, but it's actually kinda cool today :)

Re: What should I expect?

if tuned properly, I would say low 14s

This is what I'm hoping for. If I don't break 14's, I'm going to be very disappointed :(

It's not tuned at all:(. No one really does it in my area, so I'm waiting to get HP Tuners I think.




I was going to go Sat, but then decided Wednesday would be better. It rained today, so I'm hoping for Friday now.

I was getting used to working the clutch on the launch to get those 60's down. Now I just need even more practice and a tune :)

Nice!! Get your 60's down in the 1.9 and you should be around a 9.0 flat!!

Re: What should I expect?

those quarter mile estimators aren't worth ****....keep practicing and get out to a full 1/4-mile track

Get it tuned and it will run SO much better.

You should be able to turn high 8s with your setup and a GOOD tune and a good launch.

You can run 1.9s on 275 street tires with practice.

Good runs...keep it up.
