okay i just wanted to know if im traping at 100mph+ shouldnt i be lower then a 14.2 all i have is a catback an airbox mod an i ran a 14.2 the previous time at the track with a 98mph trap....

 

whats your 60? 2.6

 

for the 14.2 it was a 2.15 but the 100mph trap i ran a 14.8 with a 2.58 60ft

 

lmao, throw on a cobra heat exchanger and youll run 105.1 according to rallilartist

 

i ran a 14.3 bone stock at 99.4 and a 14.2 at 99.666 with intake and torque 60ft 2.2
so what your saying with my new mods (cobra h/e and strut bar ) i should trap much higher

 

he was being sarcastic

 

k gonna say didnt feel much of a diff

 

the trap was mostly due to your 60ft time

 

what about kinda crap 60" foot and then 95 or so trap? 2.4 and was mainly stock then? sorry i dont have the slips in front of me for exact time? and not to thread jack trying to keep it on same subject

 

hmmm I ran a 14.1 at a 100 mph with a 2.2 60..... all stock. the temp was right at 60 outside.

 

Its all in the launch. Which is exactly what I can't get a handle on.

 

slipping the clutch some as you launch you should be able to pull off 2.3 60ft's I did it all the time but with a stock clutch second gear always slipped

 

the more you spin of the line the higher your trap

so you could essentially have gone 13.9 with a lower trap speed

 

buwhahaha

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true.

not sure how many times he has to be told he's dead wrong before it sinks in.

to the OP, the **** 60' was probably from a larger amount of wheel hop/spin i'm assumeing?

the more spin you have during a run the higher your trap is but your ET gets worse.

 

Um...I've only raced at the track ONCE and that was when i had an 05 LS Sedan Auto...and now that i got my 2.4 5spd i'm anxious to go this summer but can someone explain to me what the 60ft is? I ASSUME its how many seconds it takes for you to 60ft? But since I am a 2.4 my 60ft should be less than a 2.0 right? Whats a good 60ft for a 2.4 and a bad one? Thanks!

 

stock i was pulling 2.3 60' with 14.7 at 95.89 mph

 

Thats funny I trapped 104.2mph with a 60 of 2.325 and only ran a 14.06.
WTF?!?!?
I was told the sensor that night was off by .2 maybe yours to?

 

i have no clue man i wasnt happy at all ......i was trapping real low i dont know what was going on

lol your saying hes full of **** then huh

 

Yeah....

Thiers a blue Cobalt around here who is convinced that dumping the clutch at 5k rpm and spinning out of the hole is the best thing to do. Claims he gets 13.2 in the 1/4 with just a stage 2 and exhaust doing this.

Of course he's gone thru 3 stage 3 clutches

 

lol i really havnt figured out a good rpm to launch at yet.....i wish i knew what the best rpm to launch at but never know

 

it always slipped because you are slipping the clutch terribly. *knock on wood* im on stock clutch, have close to 200 passes and 57,000 miles.

yep, hes on the right track with cooling mods, but way off on their actual HP pickup

 

kinda what i was thinking when i read that .....but who knows i dont live to far away from that kid one of these days i might just roll there to race him and see what hes really about

 

all day, every day.

 

hahaha

 

cooling is great and all, but air flow in the name of the game.
