Default Best day at the track ever

I ran my best ever, 12.04. To make it even better, I lined up against a 2010 Camaro SS. Not sure if it was manual or automatic though.
There also was a Challenger RT there. He wasn't happy there were trucks faster than him.
I have to say it was the most pumped I ever felt at the track.


Now what mods are next?

Big jump, juice. Smaller jumps weight reduction, gears might help you depending on what gears you have, skinnies up front, I am sure there are others but don't know what all you have done.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm not really interested in nitrous. I have 4:10. As for tires, I heard with AWD I have to run the same size front and back.
I might pick up some drag radials in the spring, but I don't feel like buying new rims.(I have 20's)
Possibly intake manifold.
After that it seems like a short block, but that's too much money right now.
Any other suggestions??

Congrats on the new best! Dropping to a smaller wheel/tire combo for the track will put you solidly in the 11's.

Thanks.
Any recommendations on what size or brand for tires and rims? Something not too expensive, but nice looking.


I don't know much about meth injection bigboy576103. I have to do a lot more reading on that.

Go with the smallest rim to fit over your brakes, 17" rims should work, stock aluminum rims are ok for the job I run 285/60/ 17 it's a 30.5" diameter.

Borrow a set of 16" stocker from a friend if you can and you will get your 11 second slip for sure... as long as it hooks
