Default First runs at the track with the 6.0L

Well, last wednesday i finally took the 6.0 to the track with the new tranny. Note that i am still on stock 4.8L tuning which sucks, i was on 20s, and i have one wheel peel. Best run of the night was a 14.5 @ 96 with a 2.2 60'. Off the line i would spin my *** off, but once it would finally hook up it would go. Im thinking after a posi, tune, headers, and some nice light weight rubber ill be hitting 13s no problem. What do you guys think?

i think you could run mid 13s after those mods

you got to figure mabe atleast .3 or 4 for a tune

.1-.2 posi...mabe you should get some 3:73 or 4:10 gears also??

.1-.3 for lighter wheels if you can get traction

.1-.2 for long tube headers?

Slow down so I can catch you. I'm waiting on my exhaust, cam and tune.
