Default First Time at the track 2000 Coupe
First time at the track. What do you think?

2000 Coupe M6
Mods:

LS6 intake
Ported throttle body
Varam VRB2
4.10 gears
Z06 cat back
09 Z06 Shifter assembly
No tune yet

I ran on street tires (Kumho, stock size 34 psi), 3/4 tank of gas. I took it easy off the line..because of traction.

R/T... .234
60' ... 2.144
330 ... 5.686
1/8 ... 8.505
MPH ... 87.98
1000 ... 10.907
1/4 ... 12.911
MPH ... 113.14

That's a pretty good time for being close to stock. My best time is pretty close to yours minus the 4.10 gears. My best is 12.94 @112.34 with just a varam and catback on an 03 M6

get some drag radials and you'll be going low 12s easy. I had 4.10s, vararam and drag radials and went 12.1@115.

I think mid to low 12 is possible with just some DRs. Your times were to be expected with street tires and 4.10s lol. 34psi is a little high even for street tires.

lower the tire pressure in the rears next time and you can raise it in the front. thatll get you some better traction and mph. your mph is good, the time is just average, prob because of your 3/4 tank and poor 60 time. if you had 1/4 tank and had the tire pressures set right and got a 2.0 60 you would have been under 12.5 which would be impressive for the mods.
Id also consider long tube headers and a x pipe before a tune, you dont need a tune with what you have, get long tubes that's the biggest bolt on NA difference maker
