I hit a GRABAGE 15.1 at 92 mph.... with a full tank of gas, shi++y tires, and me beaing a track virgin...... is that a pretty good time for what I have in the car?

Tires will make a world of difference depending on what tire you have now.

60 foot time, not 0-60. Should be 2.5-2.6sec, something like that. Not a bad time though. Bald tires will actually help you, but with all of those mods you should be looking ~150whp and into the 14's.

Hmm, well I dont' feel so bad about my times now. A big bad dual cam swap in the 15's.

Rock the D.

Aren't bald tires good for the race track? I know that all the dragsters run slicks.
