Took the 5.0 out for a few runs at the local 1/8 mile, did ok but traction was a serious issue. Had to burn the street 225/50 tires to death to get it to hook at all, track was cold most of the time and I was spinning through 3'rd most of the time. Best run was a 9.5 at 78.25 mph with some spinning. Next race I am adding a few things, off-road H and maybe a homebrew CAI to see what happens. Beat a c6 corvette 2/3 times, he had some traction issues as well.

Yea, that's what stock cats gets you, off-road H going on this week... Should make a difference on the 18'th (next race). Drag radials or slicks of some sort would make a huge difference as well. Dude in the Vette was PO'ed after
