Just got back from my first trip to the track: Sacramento Raceway, had a blast. Went out there, and there were 3 other L's. Mine(Black) another '00 Black with slicks on it, A '01 white one with 175hp shot of NOS, and a '01 Silver one(Psp equipped). To say the least, I was ecsatic about my times. My only mods on my 2000 L are a DiabloSport Chip by JL and the 90mm MAF and his Air induction Kit by JL. On my first run, my reaction time was really crappy, but managed a 13.37. Second run, even worse reaction time, but ran a 13.288. Third run, ran against the white L, better reaction time this go, but his was much better, but I ran a 13.158. The last run I took, I ran the white L again, and this time my reaction time was great. Took off about the same time, and ran about a foot ahead of him almost the whole way, hmm... that is until he let the nitrous kick in, and shot up past me at the very end. However, on that best run I ran a 13.084 with the tailgate down. To say the least, I was VERY happy with my times, (I was expecting high to mid 13's) Track conditions were great, 55 degrees, traction was so-so. But had a great day, and learned a ton by talking to other L owners. Hmm...looking to break into the 12's next time..... I'll post some pics later if I can.

Shadowlightning:
Excellent, I still haven't been to a track so you're way better than I am. Hopefully in the spring I'll make it out to the strip at SIR( seattle international). WAY TO GO......JR

 

That 4lb pulley and those gears will put you in the 12s--if you can get traction !

Good times with those mods. You will be in the Mid 12's for sure with your next mods & traction of course!!

 

Hey Shadow Lightning I had a great time at the raceway that day also I was the old guy in the "White Fridge" your truck was running great, I hope I was some help. I got home and checked the jets in the NOS system and it was only a 100 shot. You and your dad should have stayed I ran my last run of the day full 1/4 on the bottle 1.90 60 ft 12.6 1/4 on f-1s not bad.
see you in the future. GO BIG RED

Hey Shadow Lightning,

That sounds like you had a really great time, way to go.

I have a question for you. I see you have the Bassani cat-back. Is it a whole lot louder than stock?
I want one that has a deeper tone and somewhat louder than stock, but still within legal Db limits.

Thanks,
FireGuy

I am under the impression that you think you reaction time had something to do with your slower times. but it doesnt.. Clock does not start till you do.. Great times good luck and have fun
