Well I finally made it out to Sacramento Raceway for test & tune and pulled 3 new times in a row. The temp was prolly in the mid 70s.
Check the old times I got last year with the K&N in the sig. Here is the new times....
1st Run

Reaction : .889
60' : 2.085
300'(?) : 5.788
1/8 : 8.835@ 80.857mph
E.T. : 13.708@ 101.354mph

I was happy with this run, but I knew I could sqeeze a lil more out on the luanch. I ran on 30psi and luanched at around 1200rpms (wasn't paying attention). I didn't spin at all.

2nd run

Reaction : .992
60' : 2.054
(?) : 5.771
1/8 : 8.821@ 80.817mph
E.T. : 13.697$ 101.293mph

I promised myself I would run a 13.6 and I did. This time I luanched at 1300 rpms with the tires the same. Still I didn't spin at all, but felt like I should be luanchin high enough to get atleast a chirp out of it.

3rd run

Reaction : 1.038
60' : 2.042
(?) : 5.738
1/8 : 8.778@ 81.012mph
E.T. : 13.644@ 101.506mph

This time I luanched at 1400rpms and still didn't spin. Good run, I am VERY happy with the time, but have a few question about them....

Before I start, I would like to thank Yellow94GT for letting me use his helmet even though they didn't ask me to wear it Thanks Drew.
First, what is the time for that I have the (?) by
Here is what I really am wondering about though.
How come I didn't spin? Is it becuase I wasn't luanching high enough or what? Not that spinning is good, I know, but the reason I am trippin is, if I had maybe luanched at like 1500rms or higher, could I have gotten a lil bit more off of the 60'?

What do you guys think about my times? You think I could get more? I am mainly concerned with my 60' times. Is a 1.9 possible? Also, I am getting my Transgo in the mail prolly a week, what will this do for my 60' and E.T.?
Thanks fellas

Traction compound. You'll see the guys spraying it on the launch pad out of what looks like some kind of insecticide sprayer.
People have been known to 1.7 60' [worship] on it with regular old street radials at places such as Atco in NJ.
