i didnt do so good but funny thing was neither was anyone else. track prep was pretty bad. anyway

best time:

60ft-- 2.303
1/8et-- 9.22
1/8mph-- 85.3
1/4et-- 13.78
1/4mph-- 106.9

most of my other passes were between 13.9-14.1. i had a VERY hard time hooking up, and shifting from 1-2 was also pretty hard, the car would bog almost every time. my highest trap speed for the day was 108.6. not as fast as i was hoping (i want 110 at least) but it was probably from bad prep and bogging 1-2 shift almost every time.

mods are:
treadstone 3" catless dp
area47 20psi hptune
k&n sri
ottp stage 2 rotated mounts

i was in wichita kansas and it was pretty warm today (for once)

oh yea, i also had a really terrible run where i bogged bad, redlighted, and managed a 16.99@108mph but ill just forget that one happend. i need some more work on the launches and 1-2 shift and i should be golden.

 

sounds like some of my runs lol hello from the fail box haha

 

yea. lol. track prep was terrible tho. my buddies evo (dynoed 345whp) couldnt even hit 12's. his best was a 13.09. my friends stage 2 09 sti also only managed low 13's (both had a best of 1.8 60')

i myself beat a 08 modded 350z (stock should be low 13's) and a couple turbo civics (they were trapping 105 tho)

overall i didnt do bad as far as losing races, and i was getting fair races too, not racing slow ass cars. lol. except a stock gsr integra haha.

 

sounds pretty interesting. im nervous about running my ss this year cuz i suck at launching my car so im sure ill have a thread or 2 about my fails lol

 

bump

 

Weird that you're bogging on the 1-2 shift. That shouldn't happen.

 

Get drag slicks, this will solve your traction problems.

 

i think im shifting too early, i, bouncing off the rev limiter from no traction in first, then when i shift to 2nd the rpm drops 2.5k and it takes a second for boost to build up again for some reason.

 

how are you launching? don't launch it super hard. bring it up to 2,000-3,000rpm and slip the clutch a little out of the hole. use your foot to modulate the throttle and limit tire spin through first, then slam second and go

 

i think i launched it a little too hard every time. it was nothing but wheel spin, even at 75% throttle. next time i go ill do a lower rpm launch.

 

You weren't shifting to early If you bogged in first gear you didn't launch high enough. When I ran I went 13.77 at 107.17with 2.313 60' 9.1 1/8 at 84.41. So yeah When I first ran I went 14.5 at 104 bogging down in first launching at 2500 when I went 13.7 I launched at 3200 and that was my best run which was the 13.7 @ 107. My mod k&n sri 23 PSI HPT custom tune, and zzp 3in. downpipe.

 

the bog came from shifting out of first into second. i shifted out of first too early (still spinning). also, the first pass i did (best pass) i launched at like 4k and spun really bad. lol. im certain i can get a low 13 if i launch lower and dont give it full throttle in 1st.

what was your highest trap? mine was just a **** hair shy of 109. like 108.9 or something

 

Highest trap was 107.17 I wanted to see 109-110 but I need to fine tune my car lol

 

track prep wasnt the best so you have that. i had area47 tune my car, u should see him sometime, hes awesome. im throwing on my ported and polished intake mani and throttle body next week and getting a retune with the new beta thats out for hptuners. i hope i can get around 112 traps after that. well see.

 

Hopefully you do. How much did area47 cost ya? If you dont mind me asking .

 

250 bucks.

 

Ditto. Slicks made the difference for me from a 2.2 to 1.9 60ft and 13.5 to 12.9 1/4 ET.

 

nice run. still havent beat mine. look in sig. dont ask what everything was id need to find the slip again.

 

give me time, ill beat it. i had horrible track prep plus it was my first time. also after i get my intake mani and throttle body on it should give me a bit more power, especially with the new hptuners beta out.

 

damn he is expensive lol............. actually thats reasonable.....

 

yea you can do it. i couldnt even match it that night all other runs were consistant 13.6's at like 110mph also. musta had a good launch and hook or somthing, reaction time was 0.06 something others were0.08's

 

With more grip your trap should get better, on crappy track prep days i trap 109, sometimes 110.
On good days when i can get traction in 2nd gear i get a lot of 111 and some 110mph.

 

i have 18X8's about to go on and some 245 tires. dunno exactly what tires yet, i might get the eagle gt since i can get them really cheap off my friend. otherwise im getting hankook ventus v12

 

dont get hankooks they blow...i can roast them at 80mph in 3rd gear easily

 

Ditto! The hankooks are good for a car with less than 220whp and primarily used for autocross or time attack but horrible for drag racing. They'll snap lose almost instantly.
