I only have the stage 3 zzp flash and the car is running real rich, when i punch it i get black smoke and when its in idle i can smell it, im gonna buy a wideband then get it tuned, guess id rather be rich than lean lol

 

true


but also depends on the track itself, if its a bit stickier, he wont be trapping as high

 

10.8@161mph

 

Headin to the track tomorrow, this should be interesting. ill let ya'll know how i do

 

Would expect a 13.5 or a little lower. Depends on that 60ft time.

 

Yea with a good launch and perfect shifts. average driver in a stock lsj will run about 14.6/14.7 @ 96 - 98 mph. A GOOD driver can get a 14.4 @ 98/99 mph. And most 2.7 (M62) guys are NOT trapping at 105 -108. I am trapping at 107 with a TVS.

 

so then whats my 14.2@100?

 

you're not the average driver then. mods?

 

back when i was stock. just had an ebay muffler welded on the stock piping

 

Factory freak with a good driver then maybe. But that is NOT the average. Well 2.7 acutally I'm not sure BUT the Average 2.8 SS with average driver I would expect 14.0 MAYBE 13.9 @ 100 or 101. It really depends on the extent of the extra mods. Slicks with meth or something will get better #'s than I am saying, but I would not consider an SS with slicks and meth to be "average."
2.8, 60's, bigger HE, and a canned tune would be what I consider kinda average. This will get you about 14.0/13.9 @ 100-101

 

hahah did 231/205 on the dyno.

 

Great #'s for stock

 

R/T= .293
60' = 2.381
330 = 6.145
1/8 = 9.217
MPH = 79.58
1000 = 11.881

1/4 = 14.173
MPH = 97.84

Thats with street tires and first time to the track and no tune, lol hopefully next time ill be in the 13's when i get tuned and maybe run slicks

 

yeah u definitely need a tune. your 60 wasnt horrible but can be a lot better.

 

I'm gonna find a wideband and take the car to byt to tune it, Im happy with it for not being tuned though

 

So almost exactly what I was expecting. Practice the launch and you'll get those #'s a little lower

 

i started a 14.9 haha had no clue what i was doing and still trying to grip the track

 

its alright. same day i ran the 14.2 i had ran a 15.6 my first pass. you just gotta remember what you did on the last run and improve on it. not just go up and make a pass and hope for the best.

 

I was trying to practice slipping the clutch and not getting hop or spinning them

 

don't slip the clutch. the sooner you can get it engaged the sooner you can go wide open. don't give it as much gas. and let the clutch out faster. when i was driving on the stock clutch i would launch at 3k and be wide open clutch fully engaged by 4250

 

also what people don't realize is that if you're going for low ET, stage shallow not deep. barely creep forward till you see the stage bulb flickering on and then stop. r/t will more than likely suck dick, but you will be moving forward and beginning to accelerate before you trip the timer

 

why couldnt you be alittle quicker with these tips? haha, ill try that next time

 

because in the class me and a buddy do once a year, people normally pay for these tips. then we take them out on the track for a day of racing.

theres 4 things you don't ever see in bracket racing; 4cylinders, fwd's, manuals, and turbos. i have a car that i compete with that has all four of those, and i still win..

 

Hopefully ill get the hang of it and give the bracket racing a try but my times are all over the place, i gotta get more consistant
