Ok well I have my car almost ready to go back to the track and the first time I went with this car I was extremely dissapointed with my times. My best run was in the sig and that was pretty much stock. The car has a fiberglass hood and 3:73's. I think that the gears were only hurting me because no matter how easy I was it just sat and spun off the line (street tires)...The weather that day and overall were about the worse conditions you can have at a track..My first pass was like a 3.0 60'
I felt like I was spinning on ice...also my 2nd gear syncro was shot so going into 2nd was extremly slow
Well since then I have made a few small changes that I hope to see a low 14 sec pass and maybe hit some 13's...
I put in a new z-spec t-5, kc clutch, pro 5.0, killed all the smog/AC, put an o/r h-pipe, shorty headers, new water pump, and plan on getting some 555r's so i can hook..
I think the car feels a LOT better and pulls overall a bit better than before. It's nothing crazy but I can deffently tell the improvements..
What I need to know beofore I go in the next 2 weeks should I have the timming checked and maybe bumped to 12*? I would also like to change out the plugs to somthing good for my near stock set-up and how exactly to set the gap.
I don't want go and see high 14's again and I think my bigest problem was due to no traction. I want somthing that I can drive on the street and will last, but when I need them to get a bit sticky I can heat them up and go. I had a 2005 GTO that I was cutting 2.0's with the stock tires and I switched out to the M/T's 275 and holly cow did they get sticky. The car went right to 1.8's and that was IRS...
Any tips to get the most out of my near stock power 5.0...
