1/4 mile Fun
I went to a 1/4 mile track near Temple Texas lastnight. My 97 6 speed with headers, LS6 intake, Vararam and Ti cat back gave me a 12.67 with a 1.99 60ft. The track was pretty slippery, I've cut a 1.88 60ft before, with M/T drag radials. Not too bad for 240k miles. I'm so proud of her.

Did you get a tune after you installed the headers?

Yes, I got a street tune after all the "bolt ons". I like street tunes because they take into account the weight of the car, wind drag and ram air

You should be thuroughly proud of that and some especially since you had traction problems - should be good for another 10th or so!
Thanks,Matt

She's great daily driver.. gets about 32 mpg on the highway. She idles pretty good, has a little miss every now and then.
We had just passed the dew point by about 30 minutes when I made my best run that night. If I get a good dry track, nice cold night, maybe some 101 fuel and let a couple of more pounds out of the drag radials, I bet I could get a 12.5x out of her.
