First time at the track with the Iroc..
So i finally took the iroc to the track last night. I was honestly expecting a 15.0 MAYBE a 14.9 at like 92 or so. I ended up with a 14.722@95.76. It's definatly a lot better than i thought. What really made me happy was my horrible 2.44 60 foot lol. I just let it roll off the line so i wouldnt just sit and spin. Im kinda happy cuz i know i can get the 60ft down to a 2.1 i should be able to knock a 14.5 maybe even a 14.4 pass. Which is a million times better tahn i thought the car can do. I cant find the timeslip but when i find it ill put all the details. Overall im kinda happy because i have a good idea now what the car is really capable of. What im not happy about is paying 28 bucks to get 1 run in 1hr 45 minutes. Am i the only one that's getting sick of the wed test and tunes at etown?? I only made one pass and left because i didnt wanna wait anymore. damn it.

Atco hasn't been any better this year guys....
A 2.44 60 and you still ran that??? Figuratively if you get that down to a 2.10 it should go as low as 14.1.... But your MPH says more like a 14.3. Still not bad though.

At the beginning and end of the seasons you're gonna see a lot of breakage, so that leads to down time. If you don't get a lot of runs in due to oil downs and what not, don't give up on the track, not like they can help it. If its just because there's too many people, well, maybe try a different track. But most places on a crowded day it will probably be about an hour between runs.

ya when i saw that 2.44 i was pissed. i was praying for a 15.2 at that point. i was really surprised at the 14.7. i figure a 14.4 is gonna end up being my best as is. it's got a posi that's not locking and 2.73 gears. so i'm happy with the 14.7 lol. but it's good to know it's got more in it with even just a better 60. does island have test and tunes during the week?

ya considering the 16 second 60 foot it's not bad at all. i'm hoping better tires, ypipe to complete the full exhaust and more seat time will get me a 14.2 MAYBE 14.1 but i'm sure 14.1 is pushing it. maybe with slp runners. are slp runners even worth getting?

What he said. There are a TON of little things you can do. You haven't even cracked the surface when it comes to mods on that car without opening up the motor.

What good is the power if you can't get it to the ground. Work on the suspension first. Do a good set of sub frame connectors, a set of lower control arms, a torque arm, panhard rod(not sure if that's really needed).
You can then start bolting on some things that will make some power. Cold air intake, a good tune, port your plenum, etc. I'm sure Josh(JS Performance) can add some more and help you out with things.
