my only performance mod is a warspeed y pipe and 16 x 7.5 ssr competition lightweight wheels. my tank was 3/4 full of gas.

i am kind of disappointed since i was hoping for 15.7 but i wasnt getting very good traction. on my last run i kicked up some rocks or something since i heard them hit the metal underneath the car. my traction was that great since i was getting a little too much wheel spin from the launch. should i do a little peel out at the beginning to get the dirt off my tires? what is the best way to do that for an auto?

your 60 fts are high and your trapspeed is kinda low. Maybe a tune up on your car.

my mph was that low but i only had intake, Although i didnt have trouble with burning outreally i like barley did. But i also didnt have water on or anything on the tires. do you live in sac? is that track better then infineon? (sears) i heard its way bettter cause its not all ufcked up at the starting line and it isn't like 40 mph winds going against you.

i am approaching 90k miles soon so a tuneup will probably be needed. anyway what does a tuneup involve? i think i will check for any error codes too though i replaced my knock sensor earlier this year.
