Still slow but happy.

Went to the local strip on a warm(82 degrees) and humid(65 dewpoint) evening. I recently purchased GM stage 2 with the hope of running a 13.99999 and I ran a 13.979@102.78mph. I'll get photos up later if any of you really need proof. I'll be going back to the track in November with the hope of shaving off a tenth or two in the cooler weather. Overall I'm happy that I achieved my goal on a night with less than ideal racing conditions. Oh I also have a K&N drop-in filter, whoop-dee doo.

This is how it broke down.
R/T-.152
60'-2.122
330-5.947
1/8-9.042
1000-11.737
1/4-13.979
MPH-102.78

Haha yea, OP even had a better 1/8 mile time then me by .3 seconds. Spectators say my car is slow as **** for about the 1st 100-150ft and then it takes off like a rocket.

Late October, early November when it's 50 degrees and sunny. I'll shoot you a PM when the best day seems to be approaching. It'll be on the weekend most likely.

As for the 60 ft. times, I was cutting 2.1 most of the night. The track seemed to be fairly sticky as long and I didn't dump the clutch at all. The top end was not good compared to nice cool nights when I'm cruising the streets though. The 13.9 pass, I had my best 60 footer. A 14.07, 14.04 and 14.007 were some other notable passes.
