My fiance raced at Pittsburgh Raceway Park for the first time today. She has a 2005 Cavalier, auto, and was equipped with my intake (RK Sport) and a free flow muffler. here's how it broke down--first run was bad because I was in the car with her to show her what to do.

1st Run

RT...... .743
60'.......2.693
1/8.......10.898 @ 67.23 MPH
1/4.......16.815 @ 81.64 MPH

2nd Run <---- Best Run

RT....... .410
60'.......2.419
1/8.......10.347@ 69.67 MPH
1/4.......16.060@ 84.85 MPH


3rd Run

RT....... .398
60'.......2.383
1/8.......10.346 @ 68.99 MPH
1/4.......16.346 @ 85.18 MPH

All in all I was proud of her for her first time out---especially when she ran a 16.0 in an auto.
I'm taking my car next week as I am getting the header on and the exhaust done this week.

Thats pretty good for a first timer I know my first run was crappy as well, ran an 11.8 in the 1/8th.

What was the weather like that night? I have the same car and didn't think it would be that quick stock. I'll wait till at least my first oil change with the car(1,500 miles right now) before I consider trying. At that time I'll be switching to synthetic as well. I can't wait to try it out now
