13.5! We both pay for the car but it's still her baby at the end of the day! I'm alright at launching and feel really confident with the NLS but still concerned with 1st to 2nd shifts when under WOT?
when i was all stock i would NLS from 1-2 all the time. (even at the track). once i got tuned, i stopped doing it (just the 1-2 shift, not the rest). it just seemed too rough on the
car at that point. by the way, if you are all stock, i don't think you will be in the 13's. probably about 14.1. especially because i get the vibe that you are afraid to beat on the car a little bit.

Yeah just a lil shy of killing the drivetrain but that's only because on the street the first couple times while NLS from 1 to 2 had lots of shock on the car with the sticky tires that are on it.. It will spin a little bit but it sticks immediatly after. I'm thinking I might go with cai down pipe and a catback all tuned and try my luck... I'll be happy with whatever she runs but would be excited to see low 13s with that setup! Besides I don't want it beating the car that is supposed to be faster haha! Should be in 11s by end of summer if not early spring. Nitrous and cam should get me the numbers I'm looking for in the bird

fyi, your wifes balt with a tune will likely pull your Trans Am from a roll until about 120.

Nothing a power adder on the Trans Am won't fix though
