    Ha, my last run was my worst 60ft, and my best R/T.

    All things considered, street tires on a 3200lb car isn't easy to launch on a five speed, but I think I can shave a couple tenths off.

    What are you running for tires on the front of your Shadow ? If you are on everyday street tires the 2.378 sixty foot time is not bad, especially if that was your first time.

    Just to give you an idea, when I went to race PAT (89 Ply Acclaim LE turbo) the car was set up all street which included a set of Cooper Cobra Tires. The tires were are a P195/70 x 14 mounted on 14 x 5.5 inch steel wheel my BEST sixty foot time was a 2.166. The car is an auto with the stock Mitsu turbo.

    Here is my best times of the night with the street set up:

    .553
    2.166
    6.150
    9.536 @ 72.58
    12.417
    14.937 @ 91.08

    So there is a goal for you...

    Have fun and be safe
    Chuck

    Thanx that sounds awesome. I didnt change a thing on my car at all. Street tires at stock pressure and boost at 10. On the last run i was upping my boost but they shut the track down so next time for me! DOH! Oh well i am definatley going back in two weeks!

    Yeah your last run was definitely a good one for a non-intercooled car. I'll probably be out in two weeks as well, even if just to watch.

    You can just have it and owe me a favour. If you want, I'm probably going to order some IC pipes from Racing-Solutions, so if you want some, I can probably order yours on my credit card and have them shipped together to save time.

    PM me your phone # and I'll give you a call.
