So I've posted on here before that I'm unhappy with the results of my new motor build. I did a fresh 302, world jr heads, b cam, harldand sharp 1.6rr's, all new gaskets, timing chain etc. The motor runs good. No blow by seems like perfect compression. I also did 255lph pump, fuel pressure regulator, new stock injectors, full msd ignition, etc. So i wasn't happy with the results so everybody on here told me to run it and post the slip. Ok a few things to keep in mind when trying to help me figure this out. I'm on crappy street tires, but I am pretty exp with dragracing and I'm a pretty decent driver also it was with 3.73's also. MY track is at 5380 feet above sea level. I did a best of a 15.1 at 93.3mph with a 2.4 60ft. So needles to say i'm a little disapointed, I know the altidue is really affecting it and makes it hard to judge. To put a few things in perspective my brother in law has an auto ls2 gto with a cold air and exhaust and his best time was 15.003 at 94.9 mph. My buddy's lx with just full exhaust and intake stock gears did a 15.5 at 89mph same night. So i'm a little quicker I'm still not sure i'm where i should be. Sorry for the long post just wanted to explain fully. P.S on a good note I ran my bone stock 08 gsxr 1000 and I did a 10.7 at 136 so I was pretty happy with that one.
Using the NHRA correction factor your best ET for the night was 13.99 @ 101.70 mph. You need tires. There is alot left in your 60 foot. Probably close to a full second when its all said and done. Put a slick on the car. Get some seat time at the track with it also. There is alot of ET in driving.......even if you think you can drive. Practice never hurt anyone.

i dont think I'm a great track driver. I'm a better rider than driver. My next mod is tires and that tf track heat intake and a throttle body. Is it bad to wot shift at the track. It litteraly feels like driving on a wet road compared to the street. My car never spins all the way through second.
