Default 1/4 mile timeslips - BIG pic

My numbers are on the right ( car 433)
Went to the track this weekend to get some base numbers before I start doing stuff to the car.
My car is stock 93 sc400. Have owned it ever since new.
Was recently serviced. The works, timing belt, fluids. Plugs were done earlier. Last year I believe.

A new do luck cat back is coming so I'll go back to the track again to get numbers.

yeah, I was pretty tired. the drive from work to the track was like 3 hours, but my friends were there.

Lex, what is a good reaction time and any tips on launch besides being awake?
I brake torque and should go on the last yellow right?

on the first slip with a 13.6 im going to say, Camaro SS?

theres too many cars that run 15's so its hard to say on the 2nd slip.

dude i hate to tell u this but I looked on the do-luck website and they dont make a cat-back for a sc400. It was the exact exhaust this guy on ebay was selling and it was for a 300. I think the guy that was selling it doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and thinks it'll fit on a 400. dont kill the messanger but then again i could be wrong, it's been known to happen once or twice. lemme know if it does fit.

well, I did pay for it using a credit card so I should be protected if it is not for a sc400. It will be here tomorrow.

Cool Oh man

1/4m and you only get to 89? I don't think the exhaust will do the job for you. Try ZEX kit 2011(75 hp shot). It last for about 2-minutes so you can run all day on 1/4m competition.

I know the exhaust wont do much or anything, but Im just curious about exactly what the effect is.
its just an expensive experiment for me.
