Ok this is my first time at the track with this car. You can see my sig for mods.

I went to the track tonight hoping for some low 14's but ended up with:

1st run:

R/T... .754
60' ... 2.618
330 ... 6.718
1/8 ... 9.865
MPH ... 78.50
1000 ... 12.509
1/4 ... 14.731
MPH ... 101.17

60' ... 2.501
330 ... 6.583
1/8 ... 9.738

So my best was 14.6 , BUT since I need to get a new clutch and learn to drive a little better then I will be set.

At the line I NEVER dumped the clutch just eased out, then shifting into 2nd it slipped on EVERY run it was a little aggrevating...

Also, shouldn't my trap speeds be higher than 101? Don't count the last run I flubbed up....

 

Get your 60ft down and you will be there.

 

New clutch.

 

Stage 2 Clutch!

 

Clutch and tires man. With your setup your cappable of running a mid 13..... but a 2.6 60'? You can do better then that man, run 2.3s all day long on a stock car. But it was your first time.... These FWD cars require lots of practice.

 

clutch, tires and pratice! Those 60 foots are high...when you bring them down to 1.8-2.1 you'll be in the 13's. My 60fts sucked too mainly cause you have to baby it coming out the hole and not launch hard like at 3-4k like I will be doing with my new clutch. I stopped racing till the spec clutch is in...stock one is POO!

 

Yea, definitly I need to get the 60' down again I was extremely babying the car since the stock clutch is so weak....I need to practice practice practice....I still want to go back next friday...When the new clutch come things will be different....

 

my first time at the track, the best i could run was a 14.8. 2nd time i went, my best was a 14.4 @ 99.95. my 60' was a 2.290. so, the more seat time u get in at the track, the better your times will be.

 

my first time was last night, i ran a 15.8 and a 15.5 , clutch slipped in 3rd both times but it was my first time really pushing the car. I got it only 3 days ago.

 

Clutch and then M/T Drag Radials will drop you below 13.9

 

yea your 60 foot is killing you. IM not very impressed with the intense stage 3 cars. There was one up at ceicel yesterday when I was there. He ran anywhere from 14.27 -15. He also had intake and exaust. I had GM stage 1 in place of his Stage 3 intense and pulled a faster 1/4 mile time then him. We even ran a the same time and I pulled like 7 cars on him and he never made up the ground. I thought they would have been faster then that. He even had the 2.8 inch pulley where mine is stock... Heres what a 2.36 60 will net you.

 

With a 101 trap you will be haulin some ass bro! Just get that launch down and a new clutch and you will see some good times.

 

You should have gone to the track before the stage 3, that way you could understand how to launch your car. I bet its your clutch though...

 

Me either everyday I get less impressed! Thats why I think I am gonna sell the kit on ebay and buy GM stg 2 and retain my warrenty....And 7k redline!!!

I ran against a Stg 2 RL and he pulled 2 cars on me easily! And trapped 103 mph!!!!


Yea I should have ... It is most likely the clutch....

 

i havent ever had a problem with my clutch. i mean, i have had it slip when i first started racing the car, but once i learned the car better i learned how to shift to make it stop slipping, and now it never does. it works great.
i guess my question is, does the stock clutch get bad as you up the performance of the car or something?

 

Good times! Your low trap is probably a combination of a slipping clutch and running way to rich. You probably need to lean it out a bit. Get a new clutch, mounts, bushings, and DR's, and you'll see mid 13's easy. As far as the GM vs INTENSE thing, the 7K redline is huge.
