I just got back from the track and although i had a blast, I NEED MORE SPEED or a clutch or to learn how to drive... heres some vids
I had wheel spin like a beast


r/t .557
60 2.374
1/4 15.310
trap 93.09



r/t .621
60 2.324
1/4 15.217
trap 94.28


any tips suggestions pointers are sweet

 

Learn how to STAGE!

anyways, id probably feather the clutch out around 2500 instead of about 3-3500. and it sounds like the 2-3 shift was a little off.

what are you running for tires, and what are your mods?

my best in my 2.4 is 14.9 @94.2

 

the really long stage was the cars that went before something messed up on, but i have a 2.9, header and full 3 inch dp and cat back, 60s and a tune

tires.... nankang ns1 :sadface:

 

just go to the track a few more time you will do better....if you work on the 60 you car can run 14's easy.

try 22psi in the fronts

 

almost sounded like you tried to powershift or no-lift-shift into 3rd? The key is practice. Lower the pressures up front like stated, go from a lower rpm and feather the throttle/clutch until you feel traction.

 

yes i was power shifting because i forgot to setup the wotbox and ill try the better launch method what.do lsjs with my mod usually run

 

what mods do you have?

 

lewk up

 

My buddy has a WOT box, and honestly, its more nuisance than anything. It doesnt provide the LSJ any gains IMO?\... Its "launch control" just holds RPM and dumps the clutch, it doesnt actually use traction control...since we dont have that. And theres no point in NLS on an LSJ. Just my 2 cents.

 

i wouldn't go too low, i like 26-28psi up front . and run 50 in the back.

^ and i agree with Erick, NLS in an LSJ isnt needed.

 

i can prove that NLS is needed on some lsj cobalts

 

I run 22psi when I use street tires can cut 2.1-2.0 60's all day

 

Tires are key. What are yours?

I mean, an LSJ-T maybe, but you cannot seriously say any blown LSJ would benefit. I mean, please, prove me wrong. Im all about learning..

 

does the car feel unstable or a little wobbly at the top end of the track? i tried 22 and 24 and didnt like it, 28 seems to be my sweet spot. i make about half your HP and i cut 2.2's

 

[QUOTE=Erick161;5972307]Tires are key. What are yours?


I have 555's

 

With some more practice you'll do better, and at least you did it on the track and not the street.

 

yes they are a LITTLE wobbly around the 1000ft mark but it is not bad I have traped 116.2 with street tires.

My slicks wobbly a LOT more.

In drag racing the first 60ft is almost the whole race so yea a better 60ft with a slower ET is mostly faster then a shitty 60ft and a good ET

 

^ i know that the 60 is the most important, i just dont like feeling like im driving through a hurricane. every car is different, im also running 17's with 225/45's so i have a bigger sidewall than most anyone whos running 18's

 

haha i understand I use your rims with my slicks

 

you got me there, i was just going to say it benifits a turbo lsj. but it really does make a great difference for a turbo car when you no lift shift. it really can cut about half a second off your 1/4 mile time because you dont have to wait for the turbo to spool again after you shift.

on a blown lsj yes it is really pointless, but the launch control does help alittle

 

tires are my down fall

 

its not true launch control unless it uses traction control...thats really the point of launch control. So, because LSJs dont have that, IMO, its rather pointless.

IIRC, isnt it just in the ECU? (the traction control function).

Yeah, turbo car, completely see the benefit.
