It will go quicker if you drop the air pressure in the back tire, try 26 to 28 psig.
Add some air to the front tires.
Best launch is at 1800 rpm.
If you have stillen G3 intake. remove the rad cover plate between the top of the front bumper and the rad , under the hood. More air for the filters
Best oil temp to race at is 85 to 90 C.

Hey Steve - Great to hear from you !!!

Sent you a couple of PM's regarding your build with the GTM long block...
Is that still on the table ???

Haven't gotten mine back from it's 'Winter' upgrade ... still a few more little glitches to iron out...and the Line Lock is the last install...

Worked up a way of switching off the Brake Fuse via switched relays and at the same time enabling the Line Lock for the track.

Checked to see if there were any other options on the 19" tires available for the 19" sport wheels ... no go on that so far.

Been in the shop longer than expected ...
But did get the Dyno done - 483 rwhp and a really nice and flat 378 tqe curve ... The car should handle the upped power demands nicely.

Along with those tips you gave me I should be in the mid 11's this season...(always the optimist)
Many thanks for that ...

Hope all is well and you are attacking the track !

Bob
