Car has 12k miles, Jlt intake and borla stinger catback.

I ran at Sacramento raceway in 105 degree heat

13.001/ 13.002 and a 13.09
couldnt break 12's.
2.2 60ft times
my mph is 112.6
Stock eagle f1's

How am i doing for the heat? first time? and shitty tires?

haha

What should I see from a basically stock terminator.

Im pretty sure I was heat soaked the whole time, I drove the car 45 mins to the track and started running.

Average & properly droven should run 12.8's, with pro and highly experienced drivers getting even lower.
Your Goodyear F1's should be able to do better then a 2.2. 60ft.

Did you warm them up?

no warm up, just rolled to the line and slipped clutch @ 2k rpms and went. I didnt push it hard at all... It was my first, just feeling out the car. I definitly could of broke 12's later that evening but i was bracketing.

Not bad. Definitely not bad. There's always room for improvement.

I've seen threads on here where people went 14s in stock Terminators, so IMO you did well.

These cars are hard to launch. Five years... and I still am not good at it.

105 degree heat good god. Was that the actual temp. or was that the track temp. Sounds like a good time to me, next time warm the tires up a little bit and once you get the lanch down im sure youll be seeing 12.8x's all day. O yeah, and go to the track when its cooler :burn::D

According to the track I visit, your hauling ass. I have yet to see a stock Termi trap over 110mph and hit 12's bone stock at my track. Most got 109.x and 13.1/2's

Elevation/DA are important pieces... A stock Termi pulling numbers like that where I run would get laughed at.

This track is very slow unless you catch it in the dead of winter with amazing prep;-) Stock C5Z's struggle to break 113mph. Meaning I have only seen 1 do it out of about 5 that I have seen lol. The drivers were getting pretty good launches and pounding the hell out of the gears as well.
