EDITED< NEW TIMES IN 18TH POST!!
OK, im going to the track this friday and had a few ideas about how to help myself do as good as i can. this is my first ever trip to the strip, so im not expecting to break any records, though i would like to see mid 14's(or less of course)
Thoughts running through my head:
1. take sisters spare(00 V6) and mine and swap them onto the front at the track to save a little weight. good idea? yes, no, doesnt make a diference in my situation?
2. im defintely taking out everything in my trunk(10 inch sub ~40lbs, and other misc. items that may add up to about 10-15lbs)
3. with the rear tires in my sig, should i run at my current air pressure? or drop them about 10 psi? i think i have about 35psi in them now. also im assuming i shouldnt do any sort of small burnout cause theyre only street tires, not a DR
4. im planning on trying different launch tecniques and shift points.
5. try different lanes? doesnt usually matter with stock cars?
anything i can do to prep myself and car till friday?
this is my 4th 5speed, so im no amateur at rowin 'em....i miss 3rd every other blue moon, but who doesnt
thanks and ill let you guys know how i do
