i went to the track last night adn ran horrible times i'm thinking it was due to heat soak. At an idle my iat2s were around 150 while racing it was about 160. Is this bad enought to cause me to run horrible times. i'm guessing i should be mid 13s not high 14s. i have a ottp stage 2, cti header with 3" catless d/p, magnaflow catback, and injen cai. My 60 footer was a 2.3 on street tires. ANY IDEAS WHY MY TIME WAS ****,

 

you guessed right now buy some cooling mods

 

HEAT SOAK!!!! ya your temps are high, u want to be around 120ish. check your intecooler pump and see if its boiling threw the filler neck. if its just still your ip pump is done, theres ways to check to see if its dead or just not making contact. grab a hammer and tap the IP and hurry and get back up and see iff its start to boil. if it doesnt theres a good chance its done. make sure u tap it in the middle and on the side near the passenger side. i was seeing temp at 150 until i bought my S3 heat exchanger. now i see temps about 120 at wot and 89 on the highway.

i was seeing 150 with a intake, custom duall pass. then the HE droped it down to 120. but i also took apart my IP to get all that dust out of there. u wont belive how much is in there its crazy!

 

i've got meth but didn't use it cause i havent been tuned for it yet, i have a 7gph nozzel which i think is to big to use without a tune, do u think if i get a ottp h/e and tune for meth that ill see 13s?

 

IDK man hard to say. ya you deffintly want a tune weth meth. like i said i had those cooling mods and i was at 150 IAT2 and once i got the S3 HE from zzp. i shot down to 120s, i stil havent gotten the chance to run my car yet. last time i ran with just a intake i ran a 15.4 with crazy wheel hop, and over 6k elvavation

 

my last cobalt just had ottp stage two and i ran a 14.1

 

with there tune? what elavation

 

yea canned tune, right at sea level, is that good

 

im sure if u went with HPT or trifecta u could get lower! they say those tunes are just to have you car running good. u might be running rich wich means u might be able to add more timing to get it more powerfull. but with those temps right now i wouldnt consider it, im betting your showing some type on knock retard with those temps! i would say get in the IP and remove all that dirt(theres a write up on how to get to it and open it on here somewhere) out. see if that helps. if not buy a new pump and get more cooling mods. the more cooling the better. or actually use your meth! i have no clue about that stuff so some one else should chime in for that.

that time isn't bad either. but at sea level i would expect more

 

How about get the 60ft down to 2.0...

 

is that possible with street tires?

 

practice i guess

 

i thought most guys were 2.0 with dr or ds, so i thought 2.3 wasnt bad

 

I have hit a 2.0 on street tires. Granted they are 235 series Nitto 555's that were deflated to 20 psi. You just have to feather and practice.

 

yea, i dont like feathering it to much though cause my clutch isn't the best

 

just ordered the ottp h/e, and cleaned out the pump. Hope i can get into the mid 13s, then with meth maybe a low 13

 

thats a drag radial with a regular street tire 2.0 is not going to happen. op get your iat2s down and with the ottp tune you should hit low 13s

 

do you think theres any chance of hitting 12.s with an hpt with meth?

 

2.0 is doable on street tires, im running michelin ps2's and hit 2.0-2.1 60's all day, it just takes alot of practice

 

I think it would be better if those that can almost consistantly pull 2.1-2.0 60 ft times actually show/coach those that are having problems nailing that launch down.

 

Good luck hitting 12s...I doubt it's possible though..
