Very nice car(s) I ve always been a pontiac guy myself and recently bought a 2002 Trans Am so I totally get the need for soundage and speed !!!

 

[sliguns]

just picked up the car from the shop...and found out the car has long-tube headers!!! freebie!

Here's what it looks like now

I'm planning on taking the car to the Gulfport 1/4 mile strip December 2nd.

This will be my first time at the strip. Any tips? Any Do's or Don'ts? Anything I should do to the car to prep?

Any guesses on what my time will be

Don't drive through the water. Fronts will track water. Go around it. Big burnout not needed on radials. Just spin them over to get the trash off. You can drop the pressure in em a little bit, try 25-27lbs. Don't go too far.

You're best launch will actually feel bad. It'll feel almost like a slight bog when ya jump off the line. Don't leave too aggressive or you'll roast the hot dogs. Be patient and pedal it.

Would anyone want to meet up one Wednesday night and go to a Test & Tune Night at the Gulfport Dragway? I'm hoping to go in the next week or two.

After more research, I'm also planning on going with 4.30 gears...I can't wait, but holding off until I have the chance to run my neighbor's '12 EVO and my buddies '05 GT so I can have a baseline to judge the improvements from the gears.

I'd definitely like to get it on a dyno...I thought Corr was import only, but if they are set up for domestic RWD, I'll definitely check them out...thx!

Jay and Alberto are awesome. If it has an engine, they have the know how to tune it. Just to give an idea of time, a buddy of mine used to have a bone stock 97 cobra. At State Capitol I made 3 passes in one night, I got a best of 13.6 spinning through first with a first run of 14.0 learning the car.

Wow, that's a great time stock!!! I was hoping to run that time with the mods I have now (CAI, LT-Headers, o/r H-pipe, Cat back).

not really a cobra.... but it has a snake on it. :-)

Nice. Is that yours?

I was tempted by those too. Dealership offered me their first one. Was a hard decision to turm that one down.

Here's my current exhaust set up

sure is. one of the most amazingly fun cars that ive ever driven. Puts anything south of a gt2 of gt3 in the porsche lineup to shame. Best driver's car south of 110K by a large margin. absolutely lives up to the hype.

Here's the video of my first time at the drag strip from last night. Wow, what a learning experience! I never would have imagined I would be that nervous or that going A to B would be that challenging. Watching the tape back is quite humbling and educational I know the car is capable of faster times as it sits now, but I have a lot of things to work on to break into the 13s. I had a great time though, there were some awesome vehicles out there. I can't wait to go back.

Oh and that yellow minivan in the first run ran 11.90!!!! lol
