Bone stock 2000 SS

I ran the SS last night. I've had the car for 2 days. The track absolutely sucked last night. I couldn't even give it half throttle in first gear without blowing tires off through first and second gear. Anyways, enough excuses. Best time was a 13.8 @ 105.2 with a 2.41 60' - that's 100% bone stock down to the paper filter. I have no doubt the car will run a low 13 at 106-107 with some traction. I was happy about the mph, but there was nothing I could do about the ET. Wednesday night street drags out here = no track prep and a bunch ricers dragging water to the starting line.

Note: If you have something constructive about how to launch a bone stock LS1, I'd love to hear it. If you are going to tell me I suck at driving, save it. I have over 300 passes in my '97 and have cut consistent 2.0 60's on street tires so I'm not a total tard hehe. New, improved times to come in a week or two.

Well, I figured out the rev limiter is at 6200. I was shifting at 5700 rpm at the track yesterday cause I was used to a stock LT1 rev limiter. I'm sure pulling it to 6100 rpm will help the mph some.

watch where you stage the car, on test and tune nights most ppl pull up in the dead center of the lane, draggin water and **** to the starting line and ruining the surface, if you look for this and stage closer to one side of the lane, you'll be on a cleaner part of the surface depending on the number of idiots at your track, you should get a better launch

thats just a start, my cars an auto so i cant tell ya how to launch a manual
