Default Went to the track Friday night.

Well first time I've ran the car after everything I've done to it.... I thought it ran good for the first time out... Cars still needs some fine tuning, and shift point adjustments. Car was bouncing off the limiter a few times between 2nd and 3rd shift.... I think with some more tuning a 10 second pass is very possible... Here's what it ran, the 1/4 mile MPH sensor wasn't working FYI.......

Reaction-----------.5780
60ft---------------1.65
330ft--------------4.77
1/8ET--------------7.36
1/8MPH------------93.93
1/4ET--------------11.39

Nice job.
I'm afraid I don't understand all the mod speak. I'm new to Corvettes.

Cars in this range usually pick up 25mph or so on the back half. So right near 118-120. The Vette may do better due to aero.

Got a rollbar?
