New best!! Kinda good but kinda crappy

My club had a track day this afternoon and I made my first run with my cc305 cam. I was happy because it is my new best, but bummed because I couldn't hook up on street tires and I felt the car had more in it.

60'- 2.2
et- 13.4
mph- 107

I think she may have an extremely high 12 in her. I need to get some tuning and get my rev limiter bumped up so I can spin the cam higher, shifting at 5800 rpm sucks, plus I'm going to pick up a set of BFG drag radials. Hopefully I may see a 12.999 next time!

That MPH is good enough for a mid 12 if you can hook it up. Oh yea some sticky tires and 12's is in your future. Good luck!

With that mph I was thinking more of low 12's. I have a feeling you're crossing the finish line while still building power in fourth gear.

Some sticky tires and a lower rear end gear ratio should be your next investment.

Aaron, w/tuning and your rev-limiter upped, you should see 110.

I'm going to look into pcmforless this week, and hopefully pick up a set of BFG's with my next paycheck. Traction was my major issue today, even with the good track prep, so hopefully I'll get my traction woes worked out in the next couple of weeks!
