I hope to be better than low 13's. I am running a tune that I built. I hope to be around 575-600hp. I am running a 70% methanol blend, and should be over 600. I have a .60 shot on nitrous if I think I need it. I would hope to be in the low 12's to high 11's in the quarter with n2o. I am planning on running an 1/8mi. track. I usually sled pull and this is the first trip to the track. Trying to get a feel for it to see if its something I want to do.

your mods get better and better. I dont think you will have too much of a problem with the vette, epically in the 1/8 if you get out of the hole quick/.

600 hp tune with that weight should get you mid to low 12s then. Hit the .060 shot and maybe 11s

Make a few passes to get the feel for it, and spray it if we need it. Just found out the vette put down 504 rwhp yesterday. Supposed to be a 6-speed manual. It will be fun.

Hey guys I was wondering what pids I should log when I run? What pids are the most helpful to you when you run. I have done some logging but not a whole lot. Hoping to make tunning a little easier.

Well I made it to and from the strip today. It went so so. I was hoping for a little more but I can't complain. I did beat the vette both in speed and et. My best was 8.08 at 89 with a 1.91 60ft. How do you guys get such low 60ft times? I was launching around 2k and spun the tires every time. I was down to 30psi in back and 35 in front. I spun for 20ft then it would hookup and give me some good torque steer. 1.91 was my best 60ft. My trans also shifted a little different. The 1-2 was instant, 2-3 soft with higher rpms, 3-4 was good and firm, and 4-5 was soft with high rpms. Do you have any ideas on what I can do to help this? I ran the co-pilot on the race setting. Should I look in the ecm or tcm tune? What should I look for? All in all it was a good time and I will do it again.
