Taking my car to the track tonight. What kinda times should I expect out of it. These are my currents mods in my sig.

 

14.2 @ 103mph

 

you think that slow

 

if you have stickys and can drive i see 13.80s at 103

 

Ill post times tonight when I get back home. I thought it might go a little faster then that. I was thinking maybe mid 13's

 

yes please post them up ,i would love to see them.

 

I plan on videoing them to so maybe I can get them on here. Not real sure on how to put them on here but I will try

 

that just seems to be the norm everytime i go somewhere. i witnessed a tvs car run mid 14s all day once. just depends on the driver getting it outta the hole without spinning

 

I have gotten pretty good not spinning them on take off on the street, but we will see how it will be tonight.

 

these car suck out of the hole. The only way to get good times is slicks on these cars.

 

these cars hook better on the street than they do on the track.

 

do they. I have never been to the track, done alot of street kills but not at the track

 

you have nothing but show mods done to your car........don't expect much. Go there with too high of expectations and you will walk away crying.

The important part is to be realistic about what you have and work on the driving aspect. Don't focus too much on bringing the ET down 'per sey'. Instead, try and think about little mistakes you make in shifting and clutching as you're coming off the line and going from 1st to 2nd (critical shift) and from 2nd to 3rd.

You probably won't get much better than a 14.5

 

mid 14s im going to guess. if you put the neons on maybe low 14s

 

yeah they suck *****. although when i ran at norwalk i hooked great. i pulled off two 14.2 all stock minus an intake

 

All show, sure so I guess that when I put the 42's, smaller pully, and a tuned computer in it that was me dreaming that you can't feel a power increase.

 

Hey, I'm just a very blunt and honest person. No need to get defensive.

You don't have nearly as much done as you think you do. You went down like a half a pulley size and increased the injectors to the stage 2 injectors. 90% of your sig is look-good stuff.

If you didn't want this kind of news you should have spent less money on neons and more on 60# injectors a 2.7-2.8 pulley, a heat exchanger, meth, and a good tune. You'd be about a second faster than you are now.

 

if the track is good and you can drive you should have no problem pulling off high 13's. you dont need a super small pulley / 60's to dip into the 13's. hell gm stage 2 alone will get you in to the very high 13's with a good driver. good luck man !!

 

work on some exhaust work, especially a header and dp...cause that will hurt you and restrict high end. at least a 2.5"...inner diameter not outer
cause with that extra boost you're not helping yourself without any exhaust work.
you may have a power increase, but they're right...
you need more.
also you need more cooling mods, otherwise that pulley will just cause a lot of heat soak, and your hp just went down the drain.
option b tank, dual pass, better heat exchanger etc.
stuff like tranny mounts to battle wheel hop, a torque dampener isn't enough to help for the launch. good tires would also better the launch again.
the problem with our cars isn't getting hp, its our fwd's taking off without spinning, chirping, or getting wheel hop.

for example
my boy paul and i raced at ennis raceway
i pulled on him with a stock size pulley, when he had a 2.9 on a 1/8th when 1/4th was closed due to wind
mod for mod were pretty much the same minus the pulley size.
i won though, because my tires had better traction, and i took it easy in first gear.
think he just spun a bit more. he did trap a higher speed though.
if you want the best times....
ease into first gear, then after 2nd just let it go.
avoid losing traction when putting down 230 pounds of torque down all at once (give or take) with full wot cause thats where are cars suck.

otherwise i'd say you can prolly pull somewhere in the mid 14s
either way!
good luck man

 

15.1

 

Hell, i've only been to the track once.. the only thing I have near me is an 8th mile which is really shitty for us cobalts... My 1/8 time was 9.01, really bad.. esp. with the mods that I have. Like the others said, don't get down on yourself, track racing is MUCH different then street. Esp. if it's your first run. Careful with the wheel hop in 1st to second, breaking your axle would be a lot worse then getting a 15.. there's always the next run! goodluck buddy

 

nahhhhhh thats way to high.
he can do better

yea agreed on this as well

 

im gonna say 14.3 at 101

 

lol not ever going to track....15.2

 

14.75 @98.65 Was my fastest pass. I have got to say that these things definitaly suck out of the hole.
