First time @ the Drag strip with the GTO

[SpdRcrZ]

Like the title says, first time out with the GTO since I got it last November. It was a bit different then what I was used to racing (420whp Cavalier), but did pretty decent (would have liked to of pulled better 60' times, but track was a bit slick)

My best last night (mid 50* temps) was a 13.55@104.56 w/ a 2.116 60', 2nd best a 13.63@104.13 w/ a 2.118 60' (1/8th = 8.811@83.9 & 8.878@82.41) Stock 17's w/ stock size tires (Kumo somethings) @ 25psi. Out of 9 runs, 5 where in the 103-104mph range, best 60' was the 2.116.

The car Dynoed 281hp/295trq earlier in the summer. Only mods are a Lingingfelter CAI, descreened MAF, and T/B heater by-pass.

On deck are a '05 exhaust (sans mufflers/resonator), 160* thermostat, HP Tuners, and a Wet NX N2O setup. Might try one more track trip before they close for the winter. Come spring I should have some tires and at least drag bags to try and limit the wheel hop.

Not bad for a grand prix......hehe what did you expect?

Put some long tubs on her and she will open right up. Nice times for mostly stock.

I was happy just to be quicker then 14.0!!!



Those *might* be on the list...... depends on how fast I pay this beast off, and how I feel about turboing it

Nice times. I would have left the screen in the MAF tho.

Long tubes for sure. Makes it a whole new car. If you are worried about them money, get a used set off LS1Tech.

I know people aren't for the generic stuff. But I got a set of those XS stainless LT's w/ ORY for 450 shipped. They fit awesome, didn't leak, and made one hell of a difference in power.

we'll see where I sit come spring. I'm going to try and make it to the BCM GLD event tomorrow.... maybe the track will be a bit stickier!

time to slap that big garrett turbo on. you know you want to so might as well start working on it over the winter
