My fastest 1/8th mile on the slicks and stock turbo is a 7.6 at 92-93. Ran 7.5 at 98 on the first run with 430hp and a clutch that kept sticking to the floor.

 

Thats ******* quick. I only trap about 86

 

Just looked the fastest on the street tires is 8.36 in the 1/8th

 

Lol when mark took my car, on 14lbs he made a 8.4 pass at 92 mph spinning a Lil in second.

 

That 8.36 is stock turbo

 

i thought it was 8.6 james?

 

my best 1/8th was 8.68 @ 84.9mph...flippin terrible

 

You should have the slip. I beleive the Ohio valley was 8.6 hardinsburg was 8.4 I beleive.

 

Just found this one, this is the fastest 1/8th mile. Also my fastest 60 foot stock contis. This was the original trifecta tune as well.

 

wow, nice time miller

 

So i looked at the weather and we had an 10mph headwind as well along with the 92% humidity that night...so maybe those factors along with me having a high rise wing gave me a lower trap speed than normal?
Dunno, just trying to find something to make me feel better about it...lol
plus im ending in 4th gear, maybe ill try to see if i can stay in 3rd next time...

 

I have a slip of my fastest time in the official drag times. That was on the Hoosier a6 slick I bought off here. Had 10 psi in the front and 35 in the rear. Launched at 4k rode the clutch through 1st nls to 2nd and ran to 6300 by the hp logs. Car ran great besides bogging out the hole. And that was slight wheels spin I'm 2nd gear. I also cross the line In 4th. The 1/8 mile was 8.4 @ 90 1/4 was 12.8 @ 112.7 and 60 was 2.11. But as James stated it is a slow ramp with alot of tq management. Hoping to catch cmiller since my turbo swap has been postponed.

No offense chris just wanna catch your time

 

That was the 3rd pass on the slicks before they grabbed. I trapped a 14.3 on that pass. The looks from people was priceless. I'll post the bids I have later when I get to my moms. Still waiting on Internet at my new house

 

14.3 mph trap....***** slow yo

 

I spun through 2 gears. After I got the tire issue fixed I went 12.8

 

i went 8.46 @ 87.4 in the 1/8th on the stock conti's

 

here is the video of my 12.8 pass. 12.8 @ 112.MP4 - YouTube

 

^^ What rpm's did you no lift shift at?

 

1-2 shift is at 6500 2-3 shift is 6000 and 3-4 is around 6000 to 6200

 

wow, thats awesome man..i am sooo flippin jealous...lol

 

James was shocked I did what I did considering how conservative it was and how much tq
Management. I need to go dig and see who all the ones was before saying I can't drive. That it wasn't the trifecta tune and blah blah.

 

from experience what is a better street strip tire to accommodate both life and traction on street without a major suffer in either subject:
bfg kdw2
toyo proxy
nitto 555r
nitto nt05

leaning towards from proxy, nt05, and 555r, heard that kdw2's have worn to prematurely , but im down for any opinions

will be using m/t et streets @ the track

 

Stage very shallow. (Prestage and STOP, bump forward until you're staged at the VERY back of the stage beam). You could also lower your front tires to take longer to break the beam too (this also effects your reaction time) lol.


There is about 7" of rollout depending on the track. Being further back gives you more of a rolling start before the timer starts.

 

interesting
