Anyways if you can recall, last time I went to the track I was running 16.2@83mph with a stock 5.0L with 3.73s. I only had a few runs and they were... interesting. 1st Run- I used my cousins slicks(the one was losing air, went from 20 to 14 psi from pit to staging lane) and got a 2.0 60-foot time, BUT I blew ALL 3 shifts resulting in a 16.1@85mph... The slicks scared me crapless(car was wobbling down the track) so I took them off.   2nd run: Put on the KDW's and went again, Spun ALL the way through first and 2nd for a good 200-300 feet, 3.2 sec 60 footer, 18.0@90mph.   3rd Run- More of the same, 2.9 Sec 60 foot time and the car wouldnt go into 3rd :BangHead: 17.6@87mph   4th(final) run- Checked tire pressure... 40PSI?!?! No wonder what was happening! Dropped the pressure to 20psi and went back up, this time I cut a 2.3 second 60 footer, nailed all shifts and cut a 15.1@92.5mph!!!!!My whole goal was to get a low 15/high 14 and I got that on the stock, worn out(222000kms) engine. I guarentee I would have had a 14.9/.8 if I kept the slicks put the one was WAY too sketchy to keep running. Side notes: My cousin's 351w Stroker did his best run ever, 10.5!!!! My brother's '08 GT/CS cut a 2.2 60 foot for a 14.1@100mph(personal best), then my uncles 2001 Mustang GT with a few bolt ons was the most surprising, 2.2 60 foot with a 14.0@97mph. Those slicks were the weirdest/best thing I ever experianced though. I launched at 2.5k and it bogged, so I nailed the gas and it hooked like a bat out of hell! Unfortutaly, I was too tense and wasn't ready for what was happening with the them and blew it. With the new engine next year(trick flow track heat on a fresh 306) Im aiming for 14s, then 13s <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. PS: Getting ET Streets, those ET Drags were rank sticky!</blockquote>
