Best and first run

This was my first time running the car on this setup at the track. I went to IvD at MIR this past sunday. I wasnt completely prepared for the event since I had bald *** tires and only one set of plugs. But thats what happens when you are broke as ish like me.

My mods are:

DTM 2.3
DTM head
DTM FMIC
and a standard 35r with DTM hardware (manifold/dp)
23psi

Stock Ignition
Stock TB
Stock Intake mani
Single Warboro
and bald *** stock a046's



Like I said, this was my very first time running this setup so I need more seat time at the track and some drag radials. Here was my best run out of 4.





r/t-.070
60'-2.073
330-4.995
1/8-7.353
mph-104.69
1000-9.365
1/4-11.039
mph-133.74

Thanks for the positive feedback. I couldnt really do much about my 60 ft's. When I mean Im broke and rolling on bald a046's I mean BALD!! But, hopefully weather permitting, next weekend I can get a few good passes in with these set of wheels Im borrowing. For a standard off the shelf 35r, this car moves.

I had the same problem...first outing 1.9x 60' (bald street tires) was my best and it went 11.2 @ 130, went back the next week with the same tune and with traction (BFG drag radials) and powershifting went 10.4 @ 135 with a 1.66 60'. Having the power is only half of the equation

I didn't get to see you run, but I did see the time sheets. Congrats.

BTW: Sorry but I wasn't staying all night to watch. It was getting cold and I had been there since Saturday.

DOnt worry about the weight reduction. That will be taken care of by the start of next season. And dont even try and throw a dirver mod at me. IF my tcase didnt have 101k on it Id be raping the **** out of it. But instead, Im too broke to have a trailor for back up. Unlike some people, I drive my car to and from the track.
