First time at the track
First time at the track
Well I had anticipated high 8's, and could only get low 9's. I raced 2 different LS-1 Fbody cars, and beat both on reaction time. They were running mid to high 8's with 2.1 60'. My first run I launched from idle and got the 9.0, the second I launched from about 1k rpm and got a 9.1. The truck had absoulutly no spin. Do you think I should try lauching from 1500-2000 RPM.
I had got called into work on my way to the track so I didn't have time to let the truck cool down. The weather was nice, about 70 degrees.
I guess I’m going to order the CAI, 6#, and chip next week and see what kind of times I can get from that.

Sharpshooter, those were some impressive times for a stock '03 L. Question, did you lower the pressure in your rear tires to 25-26psi (or were you in too much of a rush b/c you had been called into work)?
Your 60' times aren't bad, but you can easily get them down to 1.9-1.8s on the stock F-1's.
Other than that, as the temps were fine, the only thing you need to do next time is allow at least a 1/2 hour of cool down time between runs.
Great times...especially for your first time out!

Even though I didn't break into the 8's I did have a blast.
