Hey guys I was the M5 who was at the event.. haha.. I could not get my car to launch properly for some reason.. that gluey dragstrip kept of making my car bog down at the launch.. my best was 13.2, I should have been in the mid 12's I guess Im a crappy driver.. also it was really hot and humid...

good times

Great runs!!! Those times are pretty good for it being your 1st time at the track. If you like Drag racing the only thing that makes you better is seat time and lots of it!! Great 60' time also!

 

Renntech,

Thanks. Personally, I was very happy with the results, but didn't know if they were considered decent or not. And yes, I liked it a lot, but I doubt I will do it again until next years event. I will definetly go again though - with more mods, looking for a better time. I want that mid 11 /126MPH trap.

For curiousity, I looked on one of the racing websites and found some C6 Z06 runs. All were getting 12's / 119-122, except one with a 11.4 / 125 - after seeing this, I thought that my car is actually decent ( 1/4 mile wise) - we all know these cars are great, otherwise.

 

Congrats on the time, looked like fun

 

Awesome run John! I actually have the same exact setup as you, but I have the intake plenum and throttle body. It dyno'd an extra 25 HP with our setup. I haven't been to the track to see how it helps times. Just FYI !!

 

iLLM3 - Thanks, I loved it!
TDK - Great to hear first hand information like this, thank you - I guess I'm down for the air work. Assuming the air intake work is completed - Is there anything else you can see I'm missing or would recommend at this level to increase HP/torque (without going inside the motor - Markski mentioned the intercoolers)?
