Default STS 2wd track times

Any one have track times for their trucks with street tires? Curious to see how your truck acts on the track. I expected to have traction problems off the line, but not going from 1-2 gear. Every time I go from 1-2 the tires wheel spin unless I lift for a split second. I was at full weight i.e. spare, hitch. I even had 100 lbs. of extra weight in the bed. Truck weighed in at 4780. Gonna have to get some slicks soon.

Hey Matt. Good to meet you and your friends. Hopefully next time we hook up I will have a tune, alcy, and more boost.

Hey David, everything still good with the turbo?
Slicks or D.R.'s will be the only way to hook. You know the powers there, just not the traction.

Doing fine. Hopefully next week we can play with the tune. It still has the tune from the magnacharger. I'll get some slicks for the stock wheels when I switch to the 18s.

I had the same problem, 1-2 shift, added a little TM back in, and it still spins a little but not bad as before. As I'm on street tires. Times in sig from g-tech
