First time/Firs trun ever at a track 12.99@107.95 ( advice )

Alright so my first time to the track ever , was my first run expected to pull Mid 13's , But i managed to squeeze a 12 out of her. But after the first run it all went down hill from there... IC pipe blew off 2 times , Missed some gears etc

ill list full time slip as this is the only way you guys cant point suggestions. I know what i should be shooting for 60' time wise 1.6-7ish , I didnt lower my Tire pressure i kept it the way i do on street.

Any suggestions ill take

First run
Not bad for NEVER going to the track before

1/8 - 8.387
MPH - 81.77
1000 - 10.896
1/4 - 12.996
MPH 107.94

2nd run Blew off IC pipe right at 1/8 Mile!! dammit!
I had the Mustang i was up against too
Can anyone calculate what i acctully would of ran if the pipe didnt blow?

R/T - .542 (Better )
60' - 1.858 ( better )
330' - 5.331 ( better )
1/8 - 8.269 ( betterrr! )
MPH - 80.60 ( worse... due to heat? )
1000 - 11.115 ( ic blew off )
1/4 - 13.806
MPH - 80.36 ( lol )

3rd Run was just plain ugly , Left lane had sand in it , spun threw 1st
Missed 2nd , TWICE

R/T - .509 ( )
60' - 2.140 ( ew )
330' - 5.331
1/8 - 8.269
MPH - 80.60
1000 - 11.115
1/4 - 14.125
MPH - 103.30

4th Run
This run Confused me , my 8th mile traped way higher , ET was lower , But my 1/4 mile MPH Came down quite a bit... I was hot lapping the car

R/T - .479
60' - 2.058
330' - 5.631
1/8 - 8.590
MPH - 84.25 ( +2.48mph? )
1000 - 11.195

Very poor for the mods, sorry. For comparison, those are stock IX times.

Why do you have 880s?

I felt that this was the case , Granted the car was only @ 19 PSI war. I forgot my laptop, and my car was tuned before i purchased it. So i didnt want to risk anything without a way to moniter Knock and such. So i left it at 19psi to be safe , and to get used to running the car at the track.


The first and Second run were the only two "good" runs i had that something didnt go wrong. War if i calculate Right , If i got my 60ft down to where it should be i should be running in the 12.4-6 time frame.

The thing i was kinda dissapointed about was the trap? For my mods i thought i would be in the 110-113 range. But then again it might of bumped to that at 23psi

Im thinking with 23/4psi and getting used to the track my car should be at low 12's right?
