Hello I am New

Hi every one. I have known about the forum for quite awhile. I just got around to making a username. My corvette is a Red 1986 4+3. It is bone stock except a K&N filter and chambered mufflers. I just took it to the Rock Falls Raceway here in midwest Wisconsin and wanted your opinion on my times for a stock '86. So here they are. I was running on new Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals.
60ft.=2.084
330ft.=5.971
1/8 mile= 9.246
1/8 mph= 75.64
1000ft.=12.045
1/4 mile=12.43
1/4 speed= 95.25
Thanks for your input im sure i will have tons more questions to come.

Welcome! It's great to see new members who type well written posts and not some garbled, run-on postings like we've been seeing. You'll get a much better response to your questions if your post is legible.

The chambered exhaust has a nice mellow rumble and sounds great accelerating. I still have the stock cat and pre-cats so it isnt real loud.
