First time at the track.
Mostly stock with a dynomax catback and some sphon sub frames on there. Air foil.

R/T .522
60' 2.56
1/8 10.32
MPH 71.91
1/4 15.78
MPH 90.61
Second run: Still uneasy lauched a little better still no traction all the way through 1st.
R/T .654
60' 2.48
1/8 10.06
MPH 73.09
1/4 15.44
MPH 91.86
Third run: Tried something different here. Just kind of eased into the throttle. Bogged out a little bit. But good otherwise. Also took my air filters out.
R/T .806
60' 2.28
1/8 9.74
MPH 73.47
1/4 15.10
MPH 92.31

Re: First time at the track.
Not bad at all. I can see you dropping into the 14's with no problem. Just get your 60' down a little.
