Man I wish I had a 100ft elevation track nearby! Density altitude here is usually anywhere from 3000 to 6000 ft! Rarely do we dip below the 2100ft elevation of the track.

eh, i was at the track recently, and watched a new edge Gt run a bunch of low to mid 15s...[:'(]
Yeah, I don't expect much from GT mustangs maybe 14-15 sec's...(cause I can keep up with stock ones)...but my homeboy's stock Z28 ran a 13.8, and it was his first time at the track. And it was a hot summer FL night...must have been about 85-90 degrees outside. I just saying...I believe this guy. I saw a Ford Ranger w/4.6L at OSW run a 14.5, now that's really sad. I should have run that POS....LOL!

OK, so I am going back to the strip on the 21st. I have my new rims and tires (17x7, 225/45/17) and just added Stage 2 WGA and broke it in. Here is my plan.

20 psi front tires...45-50 rear
launching 2500-3000

Goal - 13 sec run.
You all think it is possible?

Falken Azenis ST-115...I recieved them from Vaughn. It has a 360 treadware, so I know it doesn't have as much grip as some others. But I am hoping the extra width can help.

it might, but im still thinking that your launch will be difficult...

I haven't been. Still probably won't because I was spinning last night in 1st from a 15 mph roll.

I also noticed last night and today thats 1st will now hold 10lbs of boost. Is this typical with the WGA?
