Went to 1/8 mile track for the first time in 2000 lightning. Bone stock to paper filter.


best run was:

60 ft 2.081
1/8 8.99 @ 80

Pretty much no cool down at all. It also has a big heavy bed cover , the spare tire , hitch and everything still on it.

I need help launching this thing its the first auto i've every drove. So any tips are helpful.

thanks
Brad

 

Oh yea, going to 1/4 track tomorrow so anything suggestions would be helpful.

Any free mods you can do or whats the best way to launch one of these things.

Brad

 

Yea, when you go to the 1/4 mile track tonight, keep your foot to the floor longer that you did last night at the 1/8 mile track.
You will probably run a 13.6 or 7 by doing so.

Unplug your boost bypass if you haven't already...

 

i have found that helps

 

I normally try to put my foot THROUGH the floor.

?? Where is the boost bypass and whats up with unpluging it.

Oh yea any launch TIPS.

i just cleaned the tires off stalled it to 1100 and floored it. Anymore stall and it would blow the tires off.

Sounds pretty good, on my street-tire, lowered, heavy, headers & filter 2000 I ran a best of:

60' 2.089
1/8 8.952
mph 80.59

 

 

If you didn't hit boost dump and lose power, you don't need to unplug it.
