I'm getting some new parts and quite literally right after they're installed I'm heading to Sacramento Raceway to get some times. So, I know I'll be completely unfamiliar with the characteristics of the car during launch, now.

Here's what my set up will be in about a week, as long as shipping isn't delayed;

Eibach Front Drag Springs *new*
Stock Rear Springs
Lakewood 90/10
Lakewood 50/50
MM Full Length Subs
UMI Lift Bars+Torque Box's *new*
4.10's *new*
C&L Plenum
C&L True Flow
C&L 85mm MAF
BBK 75mm TB
Steeda U/D Pullies
Steeda T/A@15 deg
MAC Off-Road ProChamber
1 Chamber Flowmasters

I ended up making 269rwhp/311rwtq during my last dyno. I won't be using the T/A at the track, this time. Gas is expensive out here :p Anyhow, I'll be removing my front and rear sway bar and my quad shocks, too. So hopefully that'll help.

Should I baby the hell out of it for a few runs and see how it reacts or just give it my all?

This'll be my first time at Sac Raceway. I'll be going on a Saturday for Test and Tune night. Hopefully I'll get a lot of practice in. Honestly, I'll be happy as long as I can get the car to bite and get it down the track straight and safe. If I get a good time also, then that'll be the icing on the cake :)

I just hope I can launch it right.
