:shock: :shock: :shock:

You're... happy... about running mid-12s with a 425rwhp car!?

:huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

Congrats on the new best. Get that 60 down and shifting and you'll be in the 11s ;)

Read the thread then post...for my 3rd time down the track...I'm more than happy with a 12.6. What did you run ur first time out? Bet you weren't running 11's either so stfu

First time out in my bone stock LS1 C5 I went 12.6.

What did you run first time ever drag racing an M6 F-bod?

i went 12.8x first time i ever took my trans am to the track... it had pacesetters and borla and a short shifter, but was otherwise stock on 17'' drag radials and 17'' front wheels

Oofa... that's going back aways... IIRC it was 14.0 @ 98 in my '95 t/a vert bone stock at full weight.

Well, bone stock and an airfoil :lol:

Exactly...and on street tires as well...still getting the hang of rowing gears at the track, my first stick shift car as a matter of fact...sorry I'm not living up to you standards Jon sorry I can't be perfect and piss as much excellence as you do. For my second time down the track with a m6 car on street tires that spun every gear, I'm more than happy with a 12.6@115

i would have someone look at the tune before you run it again... you should be trapping a few more miles per hour than that.

maybe the seller of the car was a little less than forthcoming about the power numbers. its very possible. especially when it came with damage that wasnt listed in the original sale ad :nod:

If my 60 didnt blow it would have been faster...I already know my tune sucks

I have a dyno sheet...

doesnt mean it was for that car?

wrong, when you 60' better you will LOSE a couple mph. when you stop eating sandwiches between shifts, you might gain some back

The only thing I can go by is my car.

My car 1st time out with a lid and catback my best pass was a 13.6@108. With the Headers I my best pass was a 13.1@110.. I have 3.42 10 bolt.

My car made 320rwhp and 328rwtq with the lid and catback and trapped 108mph
My car makes 340rwhp and 350rwtq now with the macs and trapped 110mph
So for 20 more hp and 22more ftlbs I gained 2 mph

Mikes SS makes 425rwhp and 400rwtq and traps 115mph with really no tune (I have my Maft translater on it). His car needs to have a full tune done to it. I also dont know what type of power a LS6 clutch can handle but maybe a stonger clutch would help also!

I think that mph is just him not being able to drive. When you take out his driving(aka the back half of the track where there is maybe 1 shift), he picks up almost 27 mph. IMO, a car with a bad tune would not be picking up that much between the 1/8th and finish line.

My car seems to be the other way around. I've gotten my best MPH when I 60'd hard. Every car is different. I like to look at it as you're giving your self more running room when you hook and pull a good 60ft. (as long as the car isn't bogging out of hole)

then why do the 12 second supras trap at 150....lol

Cause supra owners buy the biggest turbo they can fit under the hood.

you should be trapping higher, your 60 really has nothing to do with that (at least not that much). from what it sounds like, you could drink a 2 liter between your shifts though. i picked up 3mph in my driving alone with my 6spd. my first 6spd pass ever was 12.65 @ 113 on dry rotted street tires with a bad opti.

just keep at it bro. iron out your combo, improve your driving and it'll come. its not like we were all born with a 6spd handle in our hands..... although it seems some people think they were :|

congrats, definately keep at it and youll improve youre times, also put some sticky tires back there too

yeah, cut him some slack fellas! Your times will get better with more practice dude. those street tires are killin ya. Have Roshan look at the tune for you too. As far as i know, this guy's car isnt gutted like other peoples 6spds on here either. I wont mention any names :)

i dont know what you're talking about :shifty:

that makes 2 of us :shifty: :shifty:
