I just got back , my times gradually got better as you can see below.
14.249 was the last run and the best .

 

[stlwagon]

Very good! Keep at it.

 

[travelers]

Nice going your getting there.

 

[BKid]

Thank you Travelers and Stlwagon. I need the encouragement

 

[travelers]

Track time is the best way to improve. You'll get better with time and experience.

I learned a lot today ,talked to the guy who owned my car before me.He could not believe how much faster it is now I took 3/4 of a second off of his time,(15.000).

 

[stlwagon]

When you get that 60' time below 2 you'll see a dramatic improvement.

From what I understand , I need some drag tires to do this. I just spin now.The guy who owned the car before says he did not upgrade the gears. It still has the 3:31`s. I am upgrading to 3:73`s this week so this will help also. I thought about 4:10`s and with my auto transmission, I think 3:73 would be better. I may want to take a road trip.

Great job on the times. 14.2 ain't bad for your first time:bigthumbsup As long as your improving each run you'll get 13's in no time. I'm going this coming Friday for the first time and I'm a little nervous but most of all I just want to have a good time and hope to get 13's.

You will at sea level no problem. I am at 5600 ft elevation it makes cars slower.

I did not know there was a 3.90 for our cars.:scratchchin

 

[stlwagon]

There are several who make them. Motive and Yukon Gear make a 3.90 R&P. Richmond Gear makes a 3.89.

 

[BKid]

Oh I beat a 03 Saleen and a 04 Mach 1. I only lost 1 race today against a damn Camero. He had drag tires MT ET`S., and 3;73 gears with a cutoff pipe.

My Mechanic will only use Usa gears so maybe the 3:73 will be ok.I was thinking of tring to do it my self after reading JT`S excellent write up . No I don`t think so.:nono: To much for me.I admitted it, oh well.

Gears are one mod that I would not do myself.

Have some faith in yourself. You can do it! (guy from the water boy lol) Nah, I wouldn't trust myself either lol.

We'll see when I go. I'm looking forward to it.

Just imagine all of AFM watching from the stands waiting for that high five.

I have got to quit getting beat by Camaros.I am begining to not like them. I hope the new gears and drag radial will get it done.This one cocky guy is really getting to me.
