Last time was just **** conditions so i didnt mess with anything, just ran to feel it out. My ? Is, has anyone had better times with lowering tire pressure? I know i should just experiment but im curious if its worth messing with at all

im going to Island dragway in nj if anyone wants to come play

 

where is island dragway? thought all you PA guys come to englishtown

 

Englishtown is over 2hrs from me. If you're in the Pocono area, usually Island or Maplegrove is the track of choice.

www.islanddragway.com for info! Nice lil track, there was a LOT of imports tonight! Even saw a SS/TC there



As for the topic. I experimented a lil but not a ton. I found just a lil lower tire pressure then stock and a short burnout to clear the tires worked best. I got a 2.1 60', 13.9 @ 103. Ill post the slip tomorrow

 

I'm on the right, 13.9

server errors and dbl post ftl

 

Well if you cut a 2.1 60 thats pretty good on street tires. I found for me that around 26-28lbs. with no burnout was the best.

 

The track I goto isn't the best honestly! I didn't try ALL kinds of situations, I just backed down pressure a lil at a time til it stuck the best it would. And I only do a very short burnout, LOTS of gravel at this track!!!

Edit: I feel I could get a 13.7-13.8 with a better 1-2 shift. That's my next goal

 

When you ran your 12.7 @ 113, what was your 60' time and your 1/8 mile time and trap? Also did you NLS from 1st to 2nd? Sorry for all the questions, but we have the same power mods and I cant seem to run my car to it's potential due to my local track never prepping.

 

I run about 20psi in the front with no burnout. The 1-2 shift/bog was a problem for me. I would shift out of first too late and it would hit the limitier. I lowered the 1-2 shift to 5800rpm and the car responded pretty well.

 

Did you NLS from 1st to 2nd, or just 2nd to 3rd and so forth? I was told 20psi was too low, but if you ran a 13.5 stock than I will listen to you, LOL.

 

I ran a 2.0 60 foot, I sent you a PM

 

I use NLS on every gear. My problem was with the 1-2 NLS is the car would stop moving for a second and would bog. It turned out it was me hitting the limiter for a split second. I lowered my 1-2 NLS point and the car got faster.

 

Next time I goto the track Im going to try this! Id like to squeak out another tenth or so!!

 

you and I are almost identical, I'm gonna shift @ 5800 this time instead of 6000, hopefully that works

 

I tried it taking off from a light the other day and the hesitation to 2nd was gone!! Thanks for the tip!
