Very nice pass for a car that's not ment to leave hard (no offence) I'm guessing your 60' on the 12.2 pass was around 1.69-1.70?

Air up the front tires lower the pressure in the rears, Do a SMALL SMALL BURN OUT (street tires don't like heat) and shallow stage. Maybe make a run at night (cooler weather and track) You'll break into the 11's... :thumbsup: I'm kinda a rookie at drag racing though :unibrow:

Those numbers sound like what I did a blown C5. The car had an early non-intercooled maggie, very small cam, and full exhaust, nothing else. 430hp and 450tq at the wheels through a 6 speed. I'm no drag racer and really didn't do much of anything to prep the car. I was running 12.1s at 119mph in south Georgia heat. Leaving sucked but it sure was fun running on the top end, lol.

Glad you had fun. The car definitely has 11 second power.

Mike, that's very respectable. It's hard to get these protouring cars out of the hole. What was your 60 foot?

For my 12.2 run it was 2.08 and my 12.4 it was 2.28. Definitely could use improvement.

That's about what I expected. I was around 1.95 on an R888.

1.7 would be tremendous for a PT car on 600 treadwear tires. :willy:

I read "street tires" My brain assumed slicks
