Ran a Bit Better at the Track Last Night

[easy2speed]

It was about 80 degrees here in Montgomery last night. The track was about average for MMP - not too good, but not too bad. All 3 runs were on 16psi which I run on the street. The first run I pulled in the staging lanes immediately after arriving because there was no wait. I bogged the first pass; then I finally got it going and hit second with only minor wheelspin. Third and fourth went by quick. I tried to avoid going into fifth and ended up bouncing off the rev limiter in fourth. I knew it was going to be a good trap because it will do 127mph in fourth!

Here's how it went:
60'----2.421
330---6.181
1/8---8.921
MPH--91.13
1000-11.219
1/4---13.122
MPH--118.87

With how many things went wrong on that run, I figured I could have pulled at least a 12.XX and something over 120mph by going into fifth a little early. That wasn't the case. I ran two more times with massive wheelspin in second. The second run had me looking at the wall on the left for a bit until I backed out of it. Letting out both runs still resulted in decent traps. Here they are:

Run #2
60'----2.642
330---6.652
1/8---9.537
MPH--89.13
1000-11.901
1/4---13.842
MPH--116.98

Run #3
60'----2.551
330---6.236
1/8---9.074
MPH--88.84
1000-11.458
1/4---13.415
MPH--116.21

Hopefully next week I will have some 285's (I have 245's now) and a little better traction. Oh well, it was fun.

[VDUBNDizzy]

Traps are good for an 11 if you can get it to hook up. What are the 285's that are on the way? What did everyone else do?

Well it has H-rated all-seasons on it, so I am going to put some decently sticky tires and 285's are about as big as will fit. Jess pulled off a 14.8@95!!! :D And Stephen trapped a little over 100 not lauching the car.

[AeroSpaceDiver]

I was learning the new tires and was really just working on my launch. Best trap was at 86mph and my best time was 16.0 =/ Not even close to the 15.5@89 I pulled my first time out... oh well.

Btw, this is Obike using Josh's computer. Last night was Josh's first time to a drag strip ever and he rode in my car for his actual race cherry to be popped... I still say he could have made a better choice by getting in someones car that is ACTUALLY FAST! But I digress.

P.S. I <3 BFGoodrich g-force's, I'd love to autox them but I kinda want them to last ;) With the suspension setup I have I was able to push it way beyond what I could w/ the OEM tires. Still learning how to drive w/ em on, completely different than the OEMs that is for sure.

[1.8t]

Nice mph :O

[xamraci]

I like that HIGHLIGHTED MPH :D

that car is the SHIT! I appreciate the ride around last night also...omfg...I cant imagine being in a car that traps above that car... :O

[easy2speed]

I appreciate it guys - it was fun. Let me know next time yall come down. :cool:

[cheappower82]

Looks like the interfooler slowed me down a bit (14.8 @ 92). It was hella humid, hot, and crowded, and the car was letting me know what it thought about the whole situation.

Heebspeed got only about 15 minutes of tuning for the 720's, so it was running quite rich and had retarded timing. Still felt good seeing it was my first time back in the car in ages.

Still haven't seen the SC; mostly my fault I guess. Guess I'll wait till the next meet.

[VDUBNDizzy]

118 mph traps and H rated. LMAO. :D

[Jon|Hazan]

what the fuck do you have done to your car?? Is that GE built? what kind of fuel management? mind if i borrow your motor and tranny for a couple years?? :D

[2Fast4Radar]

what the fuck do you have done to your car?? Is that GE built? what kind of fuel management? mind if i borrow your motor and tranny for a couple years?? :DIt's a stock GE motor with a thicker headgasket... some guys are making 9-second passes on the stock motor. I'm pretty sure it's using a VPC/SAFC combo with a built in wideband.

Yes - the 2mm HG lowers the compression to ~8.5:1.

I ran a bit better this Friday still with a shitty 2.3 60'. 12.80@118.93mph - again bouncing off the limiter in 4th. :cool:

[Inspector]

2.3 60'. 12.80@118.93mph

DANG! i bet she has a 120mph in her... GET SOME SLICKS/DR!!!

..and congrats on 12's!

If my 4th gear was a bit longer it would do 120mph. I'm going to get taller and wider tires to make the gears a bit longer.

[xamraci]

omfg...119mph roughly and a 12.8 pass...damn you and your 2jz...damn you! :cool:

sohc fwd out :D

It's funny how Rob runs 11.30's@118mph in his TTA, but I'm lucky to get anything in the 12's. :D

You don't need 118mph to run a 12.8 guys. ;)

[easy2speed]

You don't need 118mph to run a 12.8 guys. ;)

With a properly hooking car, 12.8@103-104mph is normal. :D

[xamraci]

You don't need 118mph to run a 12.8 guys. ;)

I am aware adam... :nutonit:

[SK VR4]

12.8 @104 is doing very well in the launching department. That car has some rediculous traction problems with the T67.

[neoamd]

T67.

Amen

The car does have a t67, not a t71 or t72..

[2Fast4Radar]

Amen

The car does have a t67, not a t71 or t72..You finally figured it out?

[neoamd]

You finally figured it out?

Ive always known, you guys keep calling it a T71..

You guys referring to you, sam, and daniel..

[2Fast4Radar]

Ive always known, you guys keep calling it a T71..

You guys referring to you, sam, and daniel..Where have I referred to it as a t71/t72?

[neoamd]

Where have I referred to it as a t71/t72?

Maybe it wasnt you but sam and daniel for SURE.

Josh

[2Fast4Radar]

Maybe it wasnt you but sam and daniel for SURE.

JoshDef.... of all people, I know my damn turbo kit specs. Hell the t67 is the largest available with that kit......

[easy2speed]

Maybe it wasnt you but sam and daniel for SURE.

Josh

You told us that - we all thought that including Michael and Greyson. :rolleyes:

[neoamd]

You told us that - we all thought that including Michael and Greyson. :rolleyes:

Umm no. Sam looked at it and started calling it a T71 and you just went along with it, I've always known..

I might now what you talking abou though, i said if anything would be upgraded on the car i would go to a 71GTQ. Maybe you just understood wrong :P

[neoamd]

Def.... of all people, I know my damn turbo kit specs. Hell the t67 is the largest available with that kit......

If you talk to Kean he can work you out a deal on 71GTQ Id guess, I was talking to DaveH about it though and he was giving me some good numbers on it!

[easy2speed]

I don't even drive the car enough to upgrade the turbo. I got the A/C working, getting brakes this week, and then some decent tires.

[2Fast4Radar]

If you talk to Kean he can work you out a deal on 71GTQ Id guessThat's a negative Tuck, the T67 is the largest turbo that allows clearance of the distributor...... Kean Wang can't work past that. Cya

BUT an AEM EMS was also being talked about ;)

You know what that does..

[VDUBNDizzy]

With a properly hooking car, 12.8@103-104mph is normal. :D

For RWD or AWD. I'm in the handicrapped drivetrain dept though.

[ActiveAero]

There are FWD cars that have been in the 12's with 104mph trap speeds, very rare though.

[VDUBNDizzy]

Yeah, I could do it on slicks with a lightweight battery and seat. I'd rather finish my big turbo setup though. I lost the stock turbo 1.8t Mk4 record in Nov. The guy who has it now has run a 12.4@106 on the stock K03. Low 1.7 60's.

[easy2speed]

AWD and RWD cars can do it, but not many FWD's can. Your time at 104mph is pretty good really.

[SK VR4]

IIRC the compressor housing says A/R 0.70

:D

anyhow... figure this one out. 11.3 @ 123. im pretty sure i had massive blowout close to the line. I cant wait to see what MMP is gonna do with my car, i think ill save the balls out runs for silver dolalr, though. mmp can be a fun time, however.

Who's car were you running?

[SK VR4]

oh, that was me running down the track in my Nikes . Blowout.. get it? :rolleyes:


that wasnt last night, sorry for the misconfusion.
