Default First trip to the track!

I finally got the time to get out to Zmax dragway for some test n tune action this week. This is the first time I have ever ran my C6 at the track and I am impressed with the results! Just thought I would share...

Details
Temp 89* Humidity 47%...thats all i know! I haven't looked up the elevation of the track yet!

First pass I red lit and sat there before I realized it LOL, been two years since I been on a track! ended up 16.7@118 haha

Second pass was the best of the night!

1.75
7.4@93
11.61@120.00

Third pass I let the car cool and lowered the tire pressure, got a better 60' but hit the limiter on the 3-4 shift (trying to squeeze everything out of it).

1.68
7.3@94
11.7@119

ET streets on the rear (26x10.5x17) and gto spare wheels w/ m/h front runners on the front
Mods are Kooks LT's 1-7/8 w/ catted x pipe
SLP Loudmouth
Vararam
RPS carbon twin disc w/ tick master
3.90 gear and a tune, thats it!


In some better weather and a little more seat time I know this car has an 11.3-4 in it!

Gears and tires helped for sure, and you still have to shift it.

Nice runs.
