Bone Stock 2000 SS - 6/29/2008 1:48:53 PM    warrioralumni08   Posts: 8 Joined: 6/29/2008 Status: offline Hello everyone I am new to MCF and am glad to have joined! Well, I have a 2000 Monte Carlo SS and its sage green with about 117000 miles and I have had the car for about 2 1/2 years and have never took it to the track but I plan on to next weekend. So, my questions would be what 1/4 mile times should I be expecting and at what rpm''s would I want to launch at? Oh and I plan on running with 1/4 tank of gas or less and no spare or jack.

What is the point in removing both headlights? and  I would lower the psi in my front wheels to increase grip right? traction should be off right? Also is it possible to get it in the 15.9''s?...Other suggestions anyone would want to throw at me to try and get the best time I can? (in reply to v8_Killa) Post #: 4

Well, what if I take out my air filter out down at the track,  you think it would improve time also because its basically the same concept with the headlight ram air. No headlight+ No air filter=More air....or is that a big no no? (in reply to Cowboy6622) Post #: 6

Jack up the rear tire pressure. (it wont do much...but it will help the car from squating on the tire. suspension will still squat, but more ire pressure wont let you sag to the rim under load) ...oh and make SURE you drive around the burnout box. you DONT want to get those street tires wet. As you pull up to the line, giv the throttle a quick wack just to clean the tires off and get ready to go. Have fun dude. (in reply to Cowboy6622) Post #: 7

You can get a K&N drop in or get a new intake, but for the love of your engine internals, do not remove the air filter.  More airflow + no air filtration is a bad idea.  Anything you car sucks through the intake will go right through to the engine( well, I suppose it could get caught in the honeycomb, but I wouldn''t leave it to chance) Enjoy the race. _____________________________ 97 Z34 DOHC factory ground effects work in progress (in reply to warrioralumni08) Post #: 9
