My First 1/4 Experiance

Got a chance to go to the track on Thursday. I got in 21 runs and my best was a 15.4050 @ 92.17. My 60 ft. was 2.4879 and I'm pretty happy with what I did.

My mods include Exhaust, Intake, and Motor Mounts. I had a rough time getting consistent launches and I bogged it a lot more than I would have liked.

I left tire pressure at whatever I run normally. Every run was at 92.XX MPH which was me hitting the rev limiter at 3rd within the last 10 feet.

Nice, I used to go up to Milan for test and tune nights every now and then when I lived in MI. Get those 60's down and you'll easily be looking at low 15's.

Ha. I totally forgot about xceedspeed. I used to be a member and regular poster on the forum when I was in highschol. Dorky forum name, but I haven't found another one yet that is open to all car makes and yet remains relatively constructive, civil, and intelligent (at least it was like that when I used to frequent it).

Well xceed is still pretty open to everyone, the owner of the site even has an f-body. The civil and intelligent parts have suffered somewhat though. I suppose it's probably just a phase, though it has declined a bit since I joined a few years ago.
