Short video of the IROC

Made a trip out to Sacramento Raceway with some of the local thirdgen owners, and got a video one of my runs. Best of the night was a 13.8@98mph.

Re: Short video of the IROC

What is the rest of your setup, and what where the track conditions like? I ask because I think the car should be going ALOT faster.

Edit: Just saw the (untuned) part in your sig. What are you thinking running a car like that on a stock ECM calibration?!

Re: Short video of the IROC

I'm thinking it's a starting point. You think everyone has a custom tune burned before they run the car? Be realistic man. I know I can get a lot more power out of this combo, and I will. But finding a good OBD1 tuner isn't as easy as it sounds.

Before starting the engine? No. Before going WOT at a track? Well, of course not EVERYBODY, just the smart ones. Good luck with that engine of yours, if it lasts.

Am I missing something here? This was your IROC? What mods have you made to the drive train, suspension etc..

You're from SF, so no surprise you'd be talking about shoving stuff up someone's @ss. You guys are experts at that, right?

Have fun getting run down by bolt-on LB9 cars with your AFR headed 350
