Default 12.7 stock !

Ok I dont know if a hacked airbox and KnN count as stock, but it sounds good to say!

2000 MN6 Z51, 12.7@111 last night at Orlando Speed World, and it was hot out. 1.940 60'

my best run ever, woohoo!

Damn that's impressive.

How were you shifting the car, speedshifting or powershifting?

Launching about 2600 rpm or so, and shifting at about 5800 rpm or so, quick shift but not a power shift. I did feel a bit chunky going into 4th every time right at the end of the run... my synchros must not like me much anymore.

I could probably get a little more out of it but it was a nice not-kill-my-daily-driver kind of run

My Cobra has a beefed up TKO600 in it that a lot of the Real Street guys race in their 9 second cars and you can powershift the crap out of it. For what what I've paid for the tranny, it's really hard for me to want to powershift it. Although I can bang the hell out of some gears, and I've powershifted it two different times during a few races against bikes, I don't see the benefit of lowering my ET a tenth or two risking the chance of messing up the synchros. Also, when I run my car, it's always within a few hundredths of a second on each time, so I like the consistency.

Are most guys that are pretty much stock shifting around 5700-5800rpm in all gears?
