First time at track w/new car

[Tweakd]

Ok so here is how Tweakd "1989 5.0 LX" did first trip to the track.

60' - 2.090
330 - 5.846
1/8 - 8.966
MPH - 79.09
1000 - 11.673
1/4 - 13.963
MPH - 98.54



Best E.T. was 13.963
Best MPH was 98.87

All this was run on 245/45/17 Sumitomo HTZ radials

I am very pleased with those times and speeds for CAI, Mufflers, Timing and 3.55's on a 153K mile motor. Race weight was 3390 w/me in the car.

not to bad. Time for the mods :D

Yes I know. But have to catch up on some other things at the moment. 3 months and mods will start happening :D

Slicks, slicks,
Nice times, I ran a 13.2@101 with et streets,3.73,stock exhaust,skinnies,no front sway bar. The car made 206rwhp back then with 105k miles.

Sounds like you have a good running car.

Thanks, I had my sway bar hooked up, my car is lowered with stiffer struts and shocks. Definatly not set up for drag racing but it did quite well I think. I will run it without the sway bar to see how much that helps if any. Not much more that can come out of those tires in the 60'.

So you are sitting like me. A road suspension, and trying to go fast :D

Impressive times. Get some practice, and some stickies, and you will be there.

Good job man.

Thanks BJ.

The only reason I am not running any stickies for now is I have no chassis bracing. On my white 89 I ran slicks and twisted the chassis a little and started blowing trannies left and right from the car not being lined up anymore :( . So right now I am playing it safe till I get sub frames, or a 6 or 8 pt cage. Yes I know it is overkill or a cage when the car is slow but I will put one in eventually for when its not slow so might as well do it first lol.
