You do realize, your trap will go down very slightly when using slicks....With the addition of a header and what not, I don't see even a 105 trap. 105 needs a really good 60 in order to get a 12...sorry don't think he will get it...definately be close though. I say on race day, just gut the car. He'd definately hit a 12 then

 

good luck....hope you see 12s....did u run that 13.6 in edmonton or calgary??

 

Wait nvm...

 

with a few more power mods and some tweaking to the tune it might happen but that is alot to ask for, he would have to cut like a 1.70~1.80 60ft

 

A good driver with slicks should have no trouble catching a 1.6 60'.

 

I vote hatrickstu hitting 12's very soon.

 

He is running a 13.6 @ 102 on street tires. Slicks drop trap speed because you have to push or pull a heavy floppy flat tire in the top end. Newbs...do they ever go away. I never said his et wont lower, i said he wotn hit a 12 without more power on slicks.

 

If he can cut a 1.6 60' he could probably hit a 12.99999999999999999999999999999

 

LMAO A 1.6.....did u ever hti a 1.6 in a fwd street car on slicks? Wow you guys sure have some high hopes around here. if he hits a low 1.80 hell be lucky

 

lol, for real. but a cobra heat exchanger adds a lot more to our cars than you would think. I gained 5mph from my heat exchanger install. I went from 96-101mph traps. So I think he can do it. I see trap speeds being about 106-107 ON the slicks. I bet he'd be 108-109 just shy of 110 on street tires. and with a 1.9 60ft and that 1-2 shift not spinning, I can see high 12's.

 

did you buy those slicks and axles off c24/na (guy near vancouver???) if so, dam you for buying parts i wanted with my car (insert fist shaking here lol.

just keep in mind guys for every 1/10th you shave off your 60' time, its worth roughly 2 tenths up top. so if you ran 2.20 60' and 13.6, if you dropped down to 1.9 60' you would be roughly 13.0. as i said, thats a rough rule of thumb, but it doesnt account for what you need to do to get it there. with slicks you will be fighting the stickey soft tire.

and 1.6 6' times are atainable. i have a buddy with an ecotec cavalier, basicly built as a drag car but still street legal. launching on around 50hp worth of nitrous he hit a 1.75 60', launching at 6000rpm on slicks. he never got a full 1/4 mile pass as it was leaning out in 3rd, but later on he got some runs at a 384' track (dont ask) and the incrementals were looking like a low 12 second run.

 

keep in mind, im at 3000ft altitude, which is what is giving me a lower than expected trap MPH.
i have trapped at 104 before

since my 13.6 run,

the mods will be mounts, axles, slicks, midlength zzp header/dp, cobra H/E, more agressive race day tuning (the 13.6 run i was running 10.9-11.2 AFRs, lots of room to play there)

 

maybe some race gas? more timing ? 12.5~12.6 afr ? gl i think you got it

 

thanks man.

yeah there are a few tricks up my sleeve if im really close but cant quite get there.

racegas is one of them

 

i figure so, you got the best mod of all the driver one. 13.6 on street tires is a dream to me lol

 

1.6 aint gonna happen with just slicks..

Seriously, if you have hptuners or access to it, best bet would be race gas and then weight reduction such as passenger seat, rear seat, seat belts, spare, jack, possibly subwoofer and amp (stock one)

 

he always takes stuff out at the track, he wrote the how to on it lol

 

I made the how-to on weight reduction

and i have HPT.
but i like to test myself.
I like to give myself at least 4-5 trips to the track to get what i can out of it, before looking for more power.

I spent 6 frustrating weeks running 14.0s before i finally got the right conditions and good driving to snag a 13.8

Im a firm believer in NOT adding power, until you know how to drive with what youve got

 

lol I did some wieght reduction and ran myslowest lol...a 2.8 pulley exahust and intake (maf translator was killing my power) i ran 14.1 at 99 consistantly and weighed in at 2894 with me in it and half a tank....full weight 3030 with me in it and half a tank I ran my best of 13.4 lol. My goal is mid 12' next spring....i've got some ingredients that should make it possible

But good luck man. I hope you do hit a 12.. that would be pretty sick.

 

how much do you charge for lessons lol

 

Do you have the clutch done on your car or even some injectors . I saw a tune somewhere in this thread but I would think with a stock pulley and a tune with the heat exchanger and down pipe,header and catback. I would say high 12's

 

anam0lous, you should come down to the Hat Speedway where a nhra track we always have big events, theres lots of v8's to eat up, were trying to get a sport compact class aswell...

 

2.8 pully
60lb injectors
K&N CAI
GMPP Catback
ZZP downpipe
ingalls TD

thats what i did 13.6 with.

what i will have extra, is the following

Cobra H/E, ZZP Midlength header/dp combo, TTR Engine mount, TTR Tranny bushings, DSS Stage 2 axles, Hoosier QTP slicks, + room for more agressive tuning.

 

Maybe....

 

Hate to get off topic but OverbooSSt, why do you have a turbo timer with a supercharged car?
