Something needs a tweak.

You're closer to 16 than you are to 15!

Leave the Golf Clubs home next time!

When was the last time you gave it a tune up? spark plugs, oil, Tranny fluid, etc...

Do you have aftermarket wheels?

Maybe you just need a few more practice runs. If manual tranny, were your shifts quick. What RPM did you launch at? What 60'?

Hi `Jonathan,

How many miles are on your SS ?

Below are some times I found on the 3.8 SS Monte.

What was your tire pressure ?

Is this the first time that you went to the track ?

If not, did you have lower times before this run ?

I'm sure you can get it into the mid to low 15s.

We have several members I'm sure will give you tips

on what they have done.

Good Luck, from `Space

Let us know `if you go again.

I love reading how our

member's are doing @ the track.

I may be wrong but unless you have gotten new valve springs you should not be shifting above 6000 rpm. I am not sure but i though i read that some where.
