1st Time at the track with notchback

90dpscoupe · 05-08-2001, 01:20 AM

I have a 90notch too, (an ex THP car) 5spd, my first time out was a mid 15 and i pretty much embarresed myself, but it took more than one trip to the track to get where i am now, and a few light mods with 14* timing. I will say this, my friend in a stock lx went from 14.6 to 15.2 when he put 3.73's in, i dont understand either but it happened, but since you have a cam you should be alright.

and like killercanary says, drop pressure, i had 20lbs in my 225/60's when i ran my best, also if you like dragracing which you obviously do....pull the front swaybar, you will be surprised on how the front end will come up and distribute weight, especially in a coupe

Keep posted

oh, and with the same size rear tires i have cut a 1.9 60 with a little vht on the track, but this would never of happened with the sway bar on.
