Here's my time slip from the drags out here in Vegas....
Remember I drive a Regular 2.2 MT with a cone dry-flow filter on it and bosch +4s with 100 Octane.....thats it....


RT - .688 (out here .500 is perfect)
60' - 2.560
330' - 7.003
1/8 - 10.719
1000 - 13.911
1/4 - 16.651 @ 81.84

are these numbers or


My last trip there(with K&N stock replacement filter) was 16.78 @ 83.97mph

This time, I revved it to 4000, let the clutch out enough to grab and go hard, no wheel hopping(remember I don't have a torque damper), and I shifted between 5500-6000.

I don't double clutch, and my shifts typically are about .25 seconds, extremely short, and I do kind of powershift too.

Any other people have any suggestions for my take-off or how to get some extra time out of this? Thanks a TON!

 

that 100 octane isnt what you are tuned for. prolly didnt do much, and MAAAYBE took a little bit of pony power away. why shift so early? or is that your redline...mine is 7000 so....well stock is was 6500.

my guess is you lost some mph's from the trap cause of that gasolina.

 

with a 2.56 60', it's clear what you need to work on. that's a really poor launch... could def. make up quite a bit of time just getting that down to a 2.3 or lower. also, you should never short shift if you're trying to get the best time out of the car. I wouldn't shift earlier than 6k. i would also ditch the plugs and the 100 octane, delco plugs are the best for us and 100 octane is simly unnecessary. maybe try to open up the exhaust a bit and get a real intake on it to drop the time a little bit. also, practice, practice, practice will always get you better.

 

Yeah I know i need work, this is only my second time out on there at the track, and only my 7th run ever....we'll see how the next couple months go.

 

100 octane is hurting your performance. not helping
your car is tuned for 87 oct.
all your doing is fouling up your system because it probably cant ignite that high octane fuel very well at all.


Double clutching is not what you think it is
its something that became used as a word after vin diesel said it, but in truth double clutching is something only 18 wheelers use.


seems like you could use work on your launch quite a bit.
thats something that will come with practice. you should be aiming for 2.2s 2.3s

 

I would use the fuel your car is supposto be running on.....ditch those plus 4's too....
