510six Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I was doing a little tuning on hwy 198 when I had a little run in with a Z06.Hey I figured, the bottle is on race gas is in the car the Tech Edge WB02 (which by the way is awesome) helped myself and a friend dial the car in on the N20, their is ice in the IC and a Z06 without hard plates on it.The least I can do is to ruin this guys night.All I managed to do was make his headlights really really small.I think the car is ready for the track.

Scottie-GNZ Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 I see lots of good HP parts and I also see a 3.90 diff but no mention of tires. I predict you will be fogging mosquitos until you figure out how to get the car moving under power with street tires :D Good luck and just have fun. 510six, that is simply not fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240zprace Posted May 7, 2004 Author Share Posted May 7, 2004 scottiegnz, we'll just have to wait and see........ hopefully i can run 18psi. will keep you all posted on the times. it's my first time at the tracks, so don't know how i'll do. but mainly what my car will do mph thru the 1/4's. my reaction time will not be so good due to 1st time at track.

Scottie-GNZ Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 You will be amazed how much boost you can run safely with a good I/C and race gas. Advice for the 1st-timers: - Reaction time has no effect on the 1/4 time. MOF, for your first pass, ignore the green light and go when you feel comfortable - Completely resist the temptation to "race" the car in the other lane and just focus on what you are doing - No matter how badly you want to make it down the track, if you feel or hear anything strange, GET OUT OF THE GAS! - The butterflies will feel like bald eagles in your stomach so when you finish your 1st pass, go ahead and wail out a big "OH YEAH!". Don't be embarrased, we all do it - You are not going to maximize the car's full potential on your first trip to the track, so anything short of going home on the hook is a success. Most of all, just have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
