First time at the track

My car is a 96 6 spd z28, only mods are under drive pulley, ewater pump, fipk CAI, and a borla catback, ran a best of 13.708 at 103.83 with a 2.2 60' (street tires...)

I am not really even that good of a shifter(been driving stick for about 6-7 months and never really bang the gears hard), but I think I did pretty good for my mods, ran at raceway park in englishtown new jersey.

My friend who has lid/catback ls1 (99 camaro a4 3.23s) with drag radials did a 13.454 @ 102.55 with a 2.041 60' so I think my car is a strong runner

My car weighs 3606 with me in it and a half tank of gas(full weight, jack and spare and all) btw

I had a great time, going to the track is so much better then street racing!

my first time at a track was yesterday .. it was so ****in awesome lol.. it is better than street racing but i love racin on the streets lol:D

That is good for a mild bolt-on LT1 :yes:. Your buddy's car seems weak for an LS1 though:think:.

I just had my "first run" the other night with the new (T56) setup :). I'm pretty happy with what I got, considering A) I'm new with the 6-speed, B) I currently have 3.23's:rolleyes:, C) I was only running street tires, and D) 2nd gear synchro is shot:D ...

... anyway, best run out of 10 runs was 13.402 @ 107.65, 2.152 60' time :). That beats my best stock A4 w/2.73 time by a little bit, and that was only my 3rd run with the 6-speed!! :D

Next up, 3.90's and drag radials :thumb:.

Keep up the good work ... you're well within LS1 territory with that time :yes:.

Next up, 4.10's and drag radials :thumb:.


fixed it for you :p

but ya- those times are real good and right where they should be if not a bit stronger. bit more practice should be able to cut the 60' down to a 2.0 and shave another 3/10s or so off your 1/4.

fixed it for you :p
:lol: Yeah, I know, but I always like to be different!! ;) You know, run 4.10's with an A4, 3.90's with the M6 ... why not!? :shrug: :D

Basically, I'm leaving myself room to go faster in the 1/4 mile without having to rev beyond ~6500 RPM, or running taller tires than stock. And my "theory" that perhaps they were 39 ring, 10 pinion tooth count was way wrong!! :rolleyes: They're 43/11 instead (I thought having less teeth on the same size ring would be stronger, but as it turns out, these have MORE teeth on the same ring:rolleyes: ... oh well:shrug: ).

:thumb: Nice times for your mods.

Yea, next time I got I am gonna have my headers/1.6 roller rockers in, hopefully some drag radials, and I hope for a low 13 :-) Hopefully launch alittle better and bang the gears faster... I've been beating on my car more though to practice shifting :-/ lol

can't wait for my forever remembering first run! next spring hopefully when i turn 18....my local stip is gay and u have to be 18.... o well i will have more performance done by then neways!
