1/4 Mile Times

[Rosco]

Well anyways I've never been to a Strip anyways. I wanna just get out and see what it can do before I start doing stuff to it. We do have a 1/8 here, but the track is pretty messed up.

Anyways, this car keeps suprising me more and more. I just raced my friend in his '86 Z28 Camaro. Auto, headers, 3.08's, K&N, no cats, flowmaster....lol just one..hehe, shift kit, pulleys, and I think that's all...oh..he went to a new MAF but still has the stock size. Anyways, we went to race, pulled over on the road, waited for the light. We got to race, but it was crap. We just got to the light like 5 secs before it turned green, and obviously he got the jump on me while I was trying to watch the other light, which was red when i looked up at it. I pulled massively on him in 2nd gear and ended up beating him by about a car length. I know it could've been more if i actually got a good start.

You guys got any more tips for me? I've been launching at about..2300-2500 rpms and found that i get a really good launch at about 2300. Shifting at 5400, at least that's what the factory tach shows. And I don't powershift, kinda afraid I'd screw something up bad. Any tips would be appreciated.
