My Pro0Charged Z06 is ready for the track on Sat!
Car is ready, clutch is broke in and the new wheels and DR's fit great
, The car feels like a rocket on the BFG's

Hey man..... I'll be there with my new toy.....
And I will have my Camera on me.... so I will be SURE to get some shots of you and your ride. I'll come up and introduce myself, before I take some snaps.
I don't get to race, cause I don't have a paid spot. But I need to get the new car out of the garage, and stretch it's legs out.

You may already know all this but...
*Launch that bad boy (at least 4K rpm) after a good second gear burn out on semi wet tires with PSI set at 16psi cold!
*Speed shift second, then powershift the rest of the gears AND go into fourth! If don't care about powershifting, then shift as fast as possible and don't under shift (less than 6,800 rpms).
*Set front tires PSI to 45 to 50psi
*Allow car to cool off...maybe use 2 to 3 bags of ice for cooling between rounds
*You could buy some but it is not necessary, 2 to 3 gallons of unleaded racing fuel. It will not make you any extra power, but it will help you keep Mr. possible detonation from entering your 1/4 mile party.
*Don't run too gas in the tanks about a 1/4 should be enough.
*Position driver seat in an up-right position
*Focus and you should be fine.
Remember, you are not trying to set a world record, take what the track gives ya and you should be fine.
Please be careful and good luck bud. Let us knows how it goes!

Myhardtop give good advice.
Concentrate, that is the best advice.
I finally took mine down the track myself. Other have done it for me in the past. My best run (number 5 of 5): 12.37@120.69. A season racer did 11.19@123.71. Didn't get any more runs, the track officials stepped in a stopped us, no roll bar.
Have fun, be careful and post your result.
Good luck

My Best Time with just headers 11.39 @ 126 with 1.8 60ft
The car was hooking off the line and spinning in 2nd gear. I feel the car will go a 10.50 but I need to take off the front sway bar.
