Went to englishtown raceway park last night. Second time in my life racing at the strip first time with the vortech. Only made one pass ran a 13.34 with street tires. R/T was .341. 60 WAS 2.17 MPH was 109.24. All in all happy with the times . If I can get the car to stick in second gear I think it should be in the 12s. Got a little to aggressive with the go pedal after 1st and it was like riding a snake. Don't think I let enough air out the tires did'nt have a pressure gauge so I just did the let air out and count to 20 on each side .

I have read that w/street tires you don't need to lower the air pressure. I have always gotten my best time with some air taken out. Invest in some drag tires (radials or slicks) and 4.10s and you will be in the low to mid 12s.

Power adder on radials is tough to master! Good luck in the future with the MTs
