Some of you probably remember my uncle Mike (luvmy92). I purchased his car a few years ago and slowly put it back together. It is setup for road course but I wanted to dial in the tune for the Holley efi. She ran great 12.54 out the box and a best of 11.955 at 122.
I think with more time behind the wheel she will run faster than that as I am slow in the 8th and fast in the quarter. What are your thoughts on these time slips? I am left lane car number 57. Thank you soo much
Good times for a manual transmission. Drag racing a C4 is difficult because you need to slip the clutch some to get your 60' time down but rear driveline breakage can occur when you get aggressive especially if you use slick type tires. Tell us more about the car.

Very nice MPH! To judge your ETs, multiply your mph by your ET. Provided you kept the throttle down through the full distance, the lower the product, the better. In other words, on the eighth mile, the closer you can get to 660, the better. For the quarter, get it nearer to 1320. I like to see products less than 675 and 1350 respectively.
As you know, it's mainly getting the 60-foot time quicker - then the product gets lower. Good luck!
