Well I finally got my brakes fixed since the pads on the old brakes were grabbing onto the rotors pretty good when I didn't even have my foot on the brake. So I decided to go to the track to see how much they were holding me back and I was quite shocked by the results. I was running low 13.6's for most of the day and I pulled off a 13.54 @101.87 and a 13.49 @101.8 after it got dark and cooled down. What really shocked me was my trap speed, since it was almost 2 mph faster than I previously got at the track. The best I ever got before this was a 13.66 @ 100.20 in 50 degree weather and a 2.01 60' as apposed to the 70 degree weather that I was running in. After I got the 13.49, I had to call my older brother and brag about it since he has a 2000 camaro ss m6 and could only pull off a 13.4X with his car, eventhough he trapped at 106mph . Now I just need him to drive my car since he's about 70 lbs lighter than me and with much cooler weather to see if he could get a 13.3 which would be very nice. So I'm just so very happy with the new brakes and the power that they unleashed.
