[Wavydavy GTO]

I made it to the track Wednesday night for the first time since I got the GTO. It is still basically stock except for a K&N panel filter and some minor TM adjustments (raised shift points, rev limiter etc.)

She ran three 13.6's each at 102.something. I was pretty pleased but I can't wait to get the torque converter installed. Headers, cam, and possibly heads are on my list then we'll see what she can do.

BTW, in run number one, I beat a Mach 1 (stock) by about the same margin as in the magazine story, one 10th or so. I'll look for some cobras after the other work is done!

Good times, how many miles you got on the clicker?

I've had it just over two weeks and I have 1600 on it. I had to drive from Orlando to Pensacola to get it so I started with a 450 mile test drive. I hope to slow the progression a little now. But at least I'm getting her broke in quick.

Since the track doesn't open around here til' spring and we have the same car I will just assume that I got the same time!

Great to see I am not the only one drag racing

Who did your tuning? The best ET I could get with the car bone stock was [email protected] but a local tuner said that we can get an easy 3/10ths with tuning even on a bone stock car. It looks more like 4/10ths after seeing your times. Good job!

What size converter are you going with? I used a 2600 stall Vigilante but am thinking about having it redone to 3200-3400 rpm.

I had Mike Norris of Norris Motorsports in Orlando. He specializes in Vettes and F-Bodies (and now GTO's).

I'll probably go with a 3200.

Torque converters are a waste of money unless they at or above 3200 :thumbs: :drink:
