Got my car on the road Wed. It runs hard and hauls ass. I took it to the track last night for test and tune. It ran good for the fisrt time out and did pretty well for not being tuned. My first run was a 13.02 @ 107.56mph, I bogged it out of the whole :banghead:

R/T... .120

60' ... 2.075

330... 5.596

1/8... 8.473

MPH... 86.09

1000'.. 10.927

1/4... 13.023

MPH.. 107.56

The Mustang is a friend of mine, he sprayed it because he knew I get him on motor :crackup: he runs mid 13's on motor and low 12's on the spray.

First run in the Firebird

My best run of the night was a: [email protected]

R/T... .130

60'.... 1.843

330'... 5.301

1/8.... 8.250

MPH... 83.47

1000'.. 10.763

1/4.... 12.919

MPH... 103.76

Not to bad for a first run. I was running on a worn out set of M/T ET street radials. I launched had on one run and just spun through first and ran a 14.23@101mph :jester: Not to far off of what I figured the car would run, I was thinking mid 12's. With good tires and some tuning I know it will run mid to low 12's. I think the first mod now that its running will be gears. it has 3.45's right now, not sure if I'll go 3.73's or 4.10's, it is a 6spd.

4.10's def. a 1.99 60 ft would have put you in the 12's.... I would say with a 1.6 60 ft.(which is pretty easy with a mickey drag radial and 6 speed) will get you in mid to poss. low 12's...Aesome man....Congrads! Do you have your front sway bar connected? The removal of thqat for track purposes is woth a bit on the 60 .
