Default FLP header track times part 2...

well I went back to the track again today my MPH and times are improving my initial track times are posted in this thread:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=773280

my times today:
60ft--2.12
1/8---8.47
MPH--87.31
1/4---12.91
MPH--111.55

my second run:
60ft---2.22
1/8----8.51
MPH---87.66
1/4----12.95
MPH---111.22

I'm pretty happy with the times and MPH and I think that if I can get a good launch I might dip into the 12.7's the only thing I changed on the car was I put in 4 gal of race gas and ditched the timing tricker I made out of a resistor and put about 300 miles on the car. I'm not sure what coused the increase in MPH maybe the car finnally learned the changes to the headers.

Finnally I wont say any names a friend of mine and a fellow forum member got waxed by a Z28 with a license plate that read C5 KLR the Z28s time...13.54 our members time first run against him 13.64....second run against him 14.5x I know he'll read this so by posting it maybe I can motivate him to put at least an intake on his car and maybe he'll catch the MOD bug like the rest of us. :D :D :jester

Sticky tires should drop you in the mid 12's.

Thanks for everyones help on the first post. hopefully I can get an LS6 intake and a good tune done along with some better tires before the end of next month. My goal is mid to low 12's without cracking the engine open.
