Re: first time at track, need help with slicks
12:1 comp gsr, p&p, m24 cams, rmf header, skunk 2 mani. i think the rev limit is around 9 but it feels like it is making more power way up top, then i hit the limit once so i started shifting right before.

no if you feather the gas you'll be okay. Sorry but those times are horrible for that setup is it spinning through first?? is the car tuned? whats the suspension setup? reason i ask is because i ran 13.8 @99mph with a bone stock h22 in an eg hatch on street tires.

. last time the one behind me called the cops. 
.plus it was hard enough to get it to the track driving it, trying not to get pulled over using th e"box me in" technique
had to throw a pic of the dog in
hey Jr, Bubba wants to know when your dog is gonna throw legs?
