Sounds a bit on the slow side, but I need more info to say if the car is actually doing what is supposed to do.

What were your 60 ft. times?
What Elevation were you running at?

Jerry in a couple of weeks you will do better. Conditions and excitment caused your ETA. I bet after a few runs you will be in the 12s easy so don't feel dissapointed ok.

I would of mentioned yours but I presumed you wanted the honors..........great job Jerry. Next season once I have a set of the G-force T/A Drag Radials I will let you use them to see if it helps with traction issues better then the Nittos you are currently using.

By the way Guys Wanye(chicagoX) besides being the driver put his G-force Drag Radials on the Stage 3 E55 used to take out the C6 ZO6.

Thats good now I feel that the 13.29 I did while in stock form is a nice achievement....with the ASP pulleys I should be in the 12s easy and after a tune low to mid 12s or maybe high 11s(nice to dream)

Drag times

My question is; are all of these drag times being perfomed with tracking controls on or in "Dyno Mode"??

Has anybody run Drag Times with controls on and then in "Dyno Mode"??

Thank you.
