Default First Run at Hub City.....First time hook up

I finally got a decent run (1/4 mile) with my C6 GS. I think the key was getting those tires warmed up, but I still need some 17" M/T's.

Default Run

Thanks much, I am running a 3200 stall and launching at 25-2600 rpm's. I had been previously leaving at a higher rpm, but it resulted in too much spin. Also, I have been heating up my MT's a little more to get grip too.

Default Setup

Yes, same setup and I have been to Mobile, but that track is too narrow & too darn short. Otherwise, I have not been to leakesville, but maybe sometime when we can get a few folks to go over there. Thanks

I would think that is the best stall in my opinion for both street and track. I still on stock converter, and about to get a 3200 soon. Tired of all the minor rodeo bucking at idle
